  3. I find goat meat, yogurt and cheese all very tasty.

  4. That doesn't make any sense at all. They live in China and they went on holiday to the US.

  5. You do give a fuck, else you wouldn't have commented in the first place.

  6. Which joke?

  7. I have forgotten about how exactly Chinese coins look but I can't remember struggling with them. Euro coins do have the number and tell if it is about euro or cents.

  8. Lijiang is extremely crowded with Chinese visitors, however the area around Lijiang is still very interesting and more authentic, you will see Tibetan style temples around Lijiang and you can visit a mountain glacier on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you can go up by cable car. There is also a yak meadow nearby that you can get to with another cable car. We were approached by a Chinese woman who spoke English and she guided us around in her car the next day when we were in Lijiang, that way we could visit the villages around Lijiang for not that much money. Lijiang itself is sadly for 90% a tourist trap. Lijiang city is beautiful but that beauty is hard to see, every old house in Lijiang has been converted into a souvenir shop, a hotel or a restaurant. Some of its temples have been destroyed by the cultural revolution but they have been rebuild. Dali is slightly less crowded, I explored the area around Dali with a rented bicycle and that was very nice, lots of different kinds of agriculture around Dali with farmers who use an ox for plowing and old pagoda's. i really liked the cycling. Kunming has the beautiful stone forest, also touristy but beautiful. There are also big caves near Kunming (JiuXiang caves). Very impressive. Kunming itself is probably a nice place to live but there isn't that much to see unless you are really interested in jade. You will not see that many Western tourists in these 3 places but lots of Chinese tourists.

  9. You can eat bird nest soup for 10 euro in Malaysia (Melaka).

  10. No, most coins of most countries have a number that tells the value of that coin. Nobody outside the US knows what a dime is but everyone knows what 10 cents is.

  11. True, but that is true for almost all videos on Youtube, some agree with the video, some disagree and some want to talk about The Donald instead.

  12. I have eaten nice goat cheese when I was in Yunnan. Do you like goat cheese from Yunnan?

  13. Why do you chew gum on camera? It doesn't look very nice.

  14. I think that Gouda is not soft cheese, therefore I think you can still sell it.

  15. Uhhmmm depends on what you mean with rich, a holiday in Japan is more expensive than for example a holiday in Thailand or Laos but Japan is in general not more expensive than Western Europe, Australia or the US. And it is definitely cheaper than Switzerland and Scandinavia. You should not think this appartement in the most posh area of Japan is somehow representative of Japan as a whole. It isn't. Check sites like airbnb and hotel booking sites to get a more balanced view. It also depends on the time of the year, accommodation is most expensive during the cherry blossom time and the Golden Week. You shouldn't dismiss Japan as a potential holiday destination based on one YouTube video made by someone who doesn't live in Japan but in China. Do your own reading.

  16. Not in the Netherlands.

  17. I don't fully understand the love for Hong Kong's MTR (the Metro/Subway system). If you want for example to travel from Sheung Wan station to Che Kung Temple station then you need to transit 4 times. I know they are working on improving the system via the extension of lines.

  18. Rent in London is also super expensive, this is the most posh area of Tokyo, the most posh area in London is also very expensive.

  19. What do you mean with 'maybe'? It is just a fact that rents are very high in London.

  20. And how did it taste?
