It's not easy...

Hey Laowinners! Despite all of the awesome adventures we have been having filming Conquering Northern China, we have run into some serious issues. Police checks. Military shakedowns. Full searches. Interrogations. Sensitive regions. This seems like we bit off more than we could chew. It's been a life changing experience, but it's not over yet. I can safely say that you guys are going to get an unforgettable show. If we manage to get out of here ok.
Thanks so much for your support. The YouTub...

Escape from North Korea

Hey Laowinners!
It's been super hard to get out content with us being halfway through shooting Conquering Northern China. We have officially left the area that borders North Korea, and let me tell you, it has been hectic to say the least. There was a very uneasy feeling in the air, but the whole border region was absolutely fascinating.
I learned that the ethnic Korean Chinese people in the region speak Korean as their first language and are very protective of their culture. They also ho...

Patreon Early Access: We Try VR in China For The First Time

Hey Laowinners!

Winston and I decided to go to the mall and go see if we could find VR, since it is so big in China. We talked about VRs boom in China in the previous episode, so we figured it would be a good idea to go try it out in person.

Enjoy! Thanks so much for your support from me and Viv and Liv.

Hey Laowinners!
Hope you Enjoy this sneak preview of all you can eat buffets in China. We are talking about how Chinese all you can eat buffets are predominate in America, but what kind of buffets do Chinese people eat in China? We go to a "western all you can eat buffet" and try it out.

Thanks!

Patreon Early Access: Is China Leading the World in Electric Vehicles?

Hey Laowinners!

Hope you are all doing well!

Winston and I have noticed a major shift in the way people get around here in China, and that is electric vehicles. 

From E-bikes to E-buses, China is definitely leading the world in both the manufacture and consumption of Electric vehicles.

Early Access - Top 5 BEST Things About Being a Foreigner in China

Hey Laowinners! 

Vivi and I headed to Shenzhen to meet Winston and another China vlogger, and I had an idea to have her think about things from my perspective. What if she was a foreigner in China? What things would she like? What things would she hate?

We fly my new drone in the middle of the city, just waiting to get caught.

We head into the poshest mall in China, and discuss the ups, and even betters of  being a Laowinner.

Let me know what you think!

Early Access - Do You Need to Tip in China?

Hey Laowinners!

Everyone asks us if tipping is required in China. The short answer is, NO!

Don't even try to tip if you decide to visit China, as it will be seen as a loss of face for the person you are trying to tip.

There are a lot of cultural reasons as to why tipping is not ok in China, and we head to a mall, pick up my new suit, and go to a food court to talk about this topic in depth.

This week on Laowhy86: Zoos and how Animals are treated in China.

Early Access - Hello Kitty Hotel in China

Hey Laowinners!

The other day, Vivi, baby Olivia and I took a roadtrip to Guangzhou to see a safari park where you can drive right up to all of the animals, like tigers, elephants, hippos, etc... 

However, she said she had a surprise for me, and wouldn't tell me what it was.
I don't like surprises anymore.

Thanks for your support!

Early Access - How are Pets Treated in China?

Hey Laowinners!

I am not the most animal loving person in the world. However, I do think that people should not ever be in a position to hurt or torture animals unnecessarily. A huge criticism of China is the way it treats it's animals, and although it is getting better, there is still a long way to go.

Pets, among the newly monied, are pampered to the point of dressing their dogs in lingerie. 

Join us for this episode. Enjoy!

Early Access - 10 Weird Differences About My Chinese Apartment

Hey Laowinners!

Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize that there are some pretty stark differences between where I came from, and where I live now.
Since Vivi and I visited America, we wanted to cover some of the things that surprised her back home. 

Our apartment here in China is pretty average, yet there are some really big differences between where you probably live.

Let me know what you think!

I just wanted to give you early access to a video I made that is a part 2 to the previous one, and that is how I got to 100,000 subscribers.

Most importantly, thank YOU! To all of the people that make YouTube a dream career come true, all of the support you have given me and my family to make Laowhy86 and ADVChina so successful, it cou...

Early Access - Is YouTube a Job?

Early Access: 5 Ways Living in China Has Changed Me

Hey Laowinners!

I wanted to get some stuff off of my chest, and I thought I'd make a video about it. I was thinking about how I have changed since moving to China, and I feel like a lot of people can relate to this if they have moved to a different country/place.

I'd like to know what you guys think, please comment below.

Early Access: Where Do All the Fake Rolexes Come From?

Hey Laowinners!

It's been super busy with the Kickstarter campaign, but we did it! Thanks to all of your support, Conquering Northern China is officially going to happen!

Super big thanks to all of you.

The other day, Winston and I had an idea to secretly film inside of one of the coolest places along the HK Shenzhen border, and that is the Louhu Commercial Center. This is pretty much the hub of counterfeit and knock off copies of anything you can imagine.

Patreon Early Access: Being an Asian in China

Hey Laowinners!

Winston and I are driving around Shenzhen talking about Asians that are born abroad, but come to China for work.
There are is a lot of praise and a lot of judgement of Chinese that are born abroad, because their identity, according to Chinese people is that they are still Chinese.  There is a real strange situation with how asians who identify as westerners are perceived here.

Video here:

Early Access - Asian Masculinity Crisis

Hey Laowinners!

Between getting our Kickstarter video done for Conquering Northern China, and pumping out videos on normal schedule, I have been pretty busy filming with Winston. Lot on the cards, and lots of great vids coming out for you guys.

Here is a sensitive topic we covered on our trip to Jiangxi, but I feel we covered it in a fair manner. The Chinese government has a funny way of knee jerk reacting to perceived social issues.

This week on Laowhy86 - Do Chinese People Go Ou...

Patreon Only Early Access: You Don't Need a Car in China

Hey Laowinners!

Today, Winston and I talk about how crazy it is to drive in China. So many people say that we are insane for driving here on both bikes, and in our cars. 

To be fair... they aren't wrong, however, there are both upsides and downsides to how traffic works here. It's both dangerous and freeing.

Check it out!

This week on Laowhy86: Part 2 of the Santana roadtrip, and exploring ancient tombs on a mountain.

Patreon Early Access: What Jobs Can a Foreigner Get in China?

Hey Laowinners!

To address a very commonly asked question that we get, we made this video. There are very few jobs that foreigners can legally do in China. It's not like in the west, where an immigrant can apply for and get most jobs.

A foreign expert certificate is required, which means that you have to be "an expert" in your field.

Enjoy!

This week on laowhy86: China Roadtrip in an $800 car.

Early Access Teaser: China Roadtrip in an $800 Car

So you guys have spoken.

You want travel vlogs.

I called Prozzie, and we went on to make a travel vlog of note.

However, I didn't expect him to show up in the car we bought last year for about $800.

The thing is, it died big time, and has been sitting for 7 months. Someone tried to steal it. They ended up fixing it to the point of it being able to work. 

So he showed up in the car, and it blew my mind. 

So we decided to drive as far as we could, north, i...
