  1. I think that you are the whiner.

  2. She is now in China.

  3. I think that building better water treatment plants is the easy part but replacing all the pipes is expensive.

  4. Yeah, the people in Flint can confirm that.

  5. Really? That was one of the first things I noticed when I visited the US.

  6. China is not really communist and it also doesn't suck.

  7. You don't know the difference between a joke and an insult.

  8. Where is here? How can we know?

  9. Many Americans of his age can't afford to buy property in the US. Try to buy property in NYC or SF!

  10. You can't argue with that, can you?

  11. Indeed, this is not a normal apartment because it is not a normal area but the most posh area of Japan.

  12. Do your mother taught you to use words like bitch?

  13. You can squat too when you see those boot prints!

  14. What about "bucket"?

  15. China is authoritarian but not communistic. China doesn't trade only with the USA, it also trades with a lot of other countries. It has plenty of options.

  16. They drink mostly green tea and hot water. As far as I know almost only Europeans drink mineral water.

  17. Look at 2:02, what do you see there? Indeed, a baby!!! Look at his other videos!!

  18. I probably don't understand what you mean. The number on a coin is the value of that coin. Just like the number on a US note is the value of the US note. Imagine that there were no numbers on US notes, how then can someone know what the value of that note is?

  19. True, but having the value as a number on the coins makes life easier for travellers.

  20. Americans are not everywhere, they seem to be everywhere because they are so loud.

  21. I usually pay something like 100 euro per night for a twin room in Japan, Tokyo is more expensive but that is compensated by cheaper rural places. You can very easily afford Japan (180 usd per night is a lot), you just have to compromise a bit when it comes to the size of rooms. It is up to you to decide if you want to do that.

  22. 56 000 yen is $6000????

  23. Neither can Cisco.

  24. Glasses is before 1850 technology.

  25. That is very normal in China when it is hot.

  26. Not every place in the USA has drinkable tap water. I was in Rio Rancho near Albuquerque and there you need to filter the tap water. The unfiltered tap water doesn't make you sick but it doesn't taste very good, you need to filter it first.

  27. SMS works differently. That is the mistake that Vivi makes, she thinks that it works the same as SMS and therefore she enters a too long phone number.

  28. On one hand you say that it is just simple logic but on the other hand you didn't get it either. Anyway, this video is scripted, it is a little re-enactment of the things she experienced.

  29. Did you really mean Accruals or is that just a typo? But it is great that people who have lived in the USA for awhile know the value of each coin.

  30. In East China almost all land is used for rice, they have a huge population to feed.

  31. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoneword

  32. I hope it is more or less self explaining? Of course different phonewords can result in the same number amtrak and bmtrbk result in the same number but remembering amtrak is easy and remembering bmtrbk is very hard. I am not an American but I do understand the idea. You need of course a phone that shows ABC immediately above or beneath the number 1 and DEF near number 2 . It is an idea from before the mobile cell phones. So BE corresponds with number 12 but CE also corresponds with number 12.

  33. Coke has such a dominant taste. Can you still taste the food when you drink coke? My mother did put a lot of effort into cooking (she is an excellent cook), therefore I wasn't allowed to drink coke when I ate her food.

  34. Did you vote for The Donald?

  35. Do you want to nuke China or do you only nuke leftover Chinese takeaway grub?

  36. Freelee the banana girl promotes squatting on non-squatting toilets because of health reasons. Look it up if you want to see something 'different/weird/strange'. Maybe your Chinese teacher is right?

  37. "Don't try this at home or anywhere else!"

  38. Who here is insisting? Not me.

  39. The West is addicted to sugar. Okay, I generalize but when I returned to the Netherlands after travelling in East Asia I found everything too sweet in my own country. Sadly now I am again totally into all the sweet stuff, it is so addictive. I always loose weight when I am in Asia.

  40. That old French lady was very funny!

  41. That park looks well maintained.

  42. I also prefer my soda or sparkling water without ice. In the plane to the US I asked "I want without ice a coke". If you ask for "I want a coke without ice" then you are already too late because they immediately throw lots of ice into your glass when they hear the word coke, it is really a trigger word for them.

  43. Often tomato juice is available during flights, for some reason people like to drink tomato juice when flying, even people who normally don't drink tomato juice.

  44. China manufactured plenty of stuff and a lot of that stuff was very welcomed in the West. The Chinese however had no interest in Western stuff. Opium and violence changed the story.

  45. Maybe the USA will stop buying Chinese stuff but that doesn't mean that Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Japan... will stop buying Chinese stuff. Again China has plenty of options.

  46. No, people in other countries don't feel the fear for China that you feel and the Chinese can do and already do automation too. Some Americans fear that Chinese economy will become bigger than Americans economy but people from for example Germany don't care about that. The USA can block trade with China but you should not expect that other countries will join. And isn't it great for mankind that poverty is rapidly decreasing in China? I think it is. I wish the same will happen in Africa and India. I don't fear a more wealthy China, Africa and India.

  47. A lot of Korean people have done plastic surgery on their eyes.

  48. I have eaten nice goat cheese in Yunnan.

  49. I should have written "Watch his other videos!!" instead of "Look at his ...".

  50. No vegetables?
