Hey Laowinners!
I am sitting on a couple more cool Japan videos, and I am kicking myself for not releasing them all at once, but a lot of people were complaining that China content needs to be interspersed at least, but now I have had a ton of comments saying that they wanted to see the Japan content, and that was some of their favorite!
So my dear Patreons, what shall I do? I trust your opinion!
Thanks for your support ;)

Hey Laowinners,
We met a fantastic man named Wing Lam who told his family's story of moving from China to escape communism, to Hong Kong, Japan, Brazil and eventually the USA.
Their fascinating story may have brought many of the dishes that you know and love today. This is the best American Chinese food can get.
John Waynes favorite restaurant may very well have become ours as well.
Thanks so much for your support.

YouTube glitch is was! Thanks for all those who were concerned, I know I was.
Seems YouTubers around the world experienced the loss of icons, and it was a screw up on YouTubes end.
Thanks for your support, and hopefully we don't get hit with anymore issues/policy changes that YouTube just rolled out!

Hey laowinners...
Well this is interesting.
No strikes.
No community guidelines issues.
No message of being demonetized. Yet here we are.
All of the videos have had monetization removed.
Will check back with you guys before jumping to conclusions, but this doesn't look good.
Thank you for supporting our channels, it means a lot more than YouTube's fantastic policy...

An awesome Patreon sent me a water safe kit from the USA, and I tested the tap water at my house, as well as 2 of the most popular water brands in China for bacteria, lead, pesticides, animal waste, and hardness.
The results were interesting!
Hope you guys enjoy it! I have been super hard at work on the Quest for the Best Chinese in the USA at the moment. Very long edits, up to 50 hours each. Hope you guys are enjoying those too!

Hey Laowinners!
I have just finished another 50 hour edit on this series. Man these things are a lot of work.
I wanted to run some stuff by you.
The first episode isn't getting the views we expected, but it IS getting fantastic response, so that means the series just needs momentum and more episodes.
In this second episode, I left the intro on again, and I am toying with the idea of getting rid of it and making a shorter intro.
Also, I wanted to ask you guys if you thought ...

I am super proud to announce the early release of the first episode of our first FULLY self produced documentary.
It will eventually be one movie, but we will release it episodically on ADVChina first.

I look forward to all of your feedback, and I also have to thank all of you who gave us recommendations and helped us fix this filming trip.

Many of the chats revolve around relationship advice, particularly with Chinese men and women. Many of my Patreons have relationships with mainland Chinese people, and there are a lot of things to deal with, so Vivi and I put together this vi...

Every time Vivi and I visit NY for Christmas, I always like to film her reactions to American/Western things. This time, I packed up the car, and headed to NYC for her first time!

Hope you guys are enjoying the winter season. It's super cold here in NY, but it's really nice to visit with family and friends.

There are a lot of terms like tier, and province etc thrown around in our video, but a lot of people don't seem to realize that there are 4 main cities in China, and they all have vast differences. If you are sent over by your company, or traveling in general, you will most likely end up in one of these cities, ...

I saw an interesting piece of news floating around.
I am not a massively religious person or anything, but I did find it a bit unsettling that villagers in southern Jiangxi province (I've shot some videos there) have been told that if they want to overcome poverty (which still very much exists in many areas of China), they should replace images of Jesus, or Christianity with president Xi Jinping.
Party initiatives are easiest to spot in rural villages in China, a...

I think most of you guys probably have realized now that although I can be a sarcastic lad, I tend to take a positive stance on most things.
This strange sense of humor didn't bode well with the China 50 centers in the comments section of the video I made (and you guys titled) I've Got 99 Problems, and China is All of Them.
The humor was so lost on the public, that some of them even banded together to report my video on suspicions of promoting Falun Gong - an ille...

Me and Winston took a road trip to some rural areas, and found an awesome hotel (which you saw in the last video) for only $30! However, in that video you will see that we are forced to eat chicken and pigs foot in a bag. The reason was this.
We wanted to make a fair comparison to the Sheraton hotel that robbed us blind, and find a western restaurant equivalent on our trip. We ended up finding a super swanky "western" restaurant in a town of a few thousand, and proceede...

It has gone from one polar opposite to the next, and I thought it was an interesting perspective.
