After watching this video I envy those chinese! Why did I have to learn english from a mad cow in their age and they have such awesome teacher? Life isn't fair!
Omg it's the best video about china I ever seen on YouTube :)
Basicly I came to Canada on grade 6 and ya English is not that easy to learn just like you guys are learning Chinese in china :) but Ima sure you two will have great time in china :)
Ummm I don't think you will see my comment cuz the video looks like posted long time ago but I just wanna to say WOW:)
@fffunfarm I'm editing videos from North Korea right now. When ou see them, you will feel extra free. I think even Chinese people would feel free after those...
On the train mostly is the Chinese lowest level people, they are very pitiful, by communist party exploitation and oppression! And I think Hengshui high school is very rich
Thank you very much for that. I've been a student in Hengshui Mid School 97-2000. Though do not know that Mr Yan, but really brought back my memories.
Hey monkee, excuse me for a random comment. According to what I remember, actually It's allowed to smoke at the connection points between the coaches of Chinese trains (normally where the toilets and washing basin locating), as long as the coach you located is not air-conditioned and the windows are ok to be opened.
Oh, yeah! These kids have a lot of drive! The funny thing is they are actually fourth year students which would mean they failed the uni entrance exams, meaning they were slight underachievers... Imagine what the top notch students look like! A very good school indeed!
hi, monk, you mentioned that your dorm expense was paid by the university of bjut, just wondering, when you traveling in China, especially for this education reasons, who paid for the tickets? cheers,
All the travel in China is paid for by ourselves, but then it all depends on the contracts people sign. Ours covers trans-Pacific flights two times a year, but some top-notch contracts will actually cover domestic travel in China. It all depends on how good your negotiation skills are.
Pls,stop fighting.You are right about the disgusting habbits some chinese have,and we dont mind you point it out.anyway "zoo" is not a good word for people.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why don't you go back to your own country and mind your own business? Chinese people don't need you to judge them, who the f**k do you think you are, nasty b******s.
This is the standard reply: "Go back to your own country...". Weak. I have as much right to be in China as anyone. And I have as much right to say what I want as anyone. If you don't like my opinion, then report me to the "Ministry of Truth" and have me deported, you ignorant monkey. Your sort of ignorance is the reason for most of the world's ills. You just close your ears, eyes, and brain. Good contribution.
Calmdown and less sensitive to face the facts. As a Chinese myself, I certainly understand how "face" is important to some ppl and how some of fellow country men/women are so sensitive how the West look at us(all these were shaped by the way of living, culture and history stuffs). Nevertheless, facts are facts, no matter good or bad, these are real aspects of our home. I cant see any reason why some ppl are so frustrated of the less pleasant reveals, we should be confident of how we are, right.
Well I won't go back because I was invited to be a "Foreign Expert in the Fields of Culture and Education". So in my expert opinion, spitting is a marker of low culture in a civilized society, as is pissing/ejaculating on floors. In an educational capacity, I will tell you that spitting is unhygienic, especially big wads of mucus, as it helps to spread disease. Your government agrees with me, as indicated by the countless anti-spitting campaigns in China.
I do agree with you about the disrespectful Chinese that spit everywhere. I feel ashamed of them, but it's mostly men that do it. Eww! But, I still find Americans who are worst, especially African Americans and Hispanics. Anyway, I'm impressed by the Chinese students. It's so much easier to teach there with all those kids than in America with a few students in a class.
Wicked!!! That school is honestly one of the best! Very highly motivated and hard working students... My current placement is such a disappointment compared to those kids!
hi im 18 and from manwoods school in england, aka hengshui's partner school! ive been there twice now, i did some teaching there this summer for 3 weeks and this vid brought back some amazing memories, especially of mr Yan, thanks so much for posting it!
If you are offended by my comment, then I guess you havent been on a Chinese train that is full of smoking and spitting people who KNOW they shouldnt be smoking and spitting because there are signs posted everywhere that this behaviour is unacceptable. Just now I came off a Shanghai-Beijing flight where a man was horking and spitting ON THE AIRLINER. Don't preach to me, don't watch my videos, stick with Britney Spears and Barney if reality is too much. Email me for a Chinese translation.
China has 20% of the world's population. That means in China one can find some of the nicest and smartest people in the world, but also some of the nastiest... My videos show what I find, nothing more and nothing less. I make same observations about all places: Canada, USA, India, Russia, Poland... No matter. Call a spade a spade.
Hey nlaitstan, I'm the guy who said the train was a f***ing zoo. If you watch the other videos, you'll see that I am there and see the same things that Emil does. If I want to call the train a zoo, as I have been on trains in many different countries, as well as different parts of China, and the one I was on in this video was by far the most insane I have been on, I sure will.
It is the only train where I had to ask people on multiple occasions to stop smoking, either because they could not read Chinese, or because they don't care to be respectful towards other travelers, a basic tenet of any civilization. China has indeed achieved many things, and we document those as well (wait for Emil's Shanghai videos). But no country is perfect and if you expect nothing but glowing reviews from Emil, then don't watch his videos.
hey, monkeetime and derekjhanna, good job! I really loved your vids! It reminds me lots of stuff back in China. There are things good or bad but I love my home country. I think we still have long way to go to get rid of those bad things in China. Don't mind about those bad things and nasty talks from some short-sighted chinese.
Thanks! It's actually quite good fun teaching in China! It's certainly different, and things are done in a very different fashion, but thats why westerners come here!

nickwang1987 4 years ago
Hey Nick, I'm the guy who called the train car a "zoo". The English language has many words that mean more than one thing and zoo is one of them.
Definition one is a zoologial garden or 动物园. Definition two is this:
Informal. a place, activity, or group marked by chaos or unrestrained behavior.
I was using definition 2. Thanks

不争了不争了。内些抽烟的、没公德的大伙都烦，我也烦。也欢迎你多上这种批判性质的，都没关系，这我在前边说很清楚了。而片子里传达给我的信息是，你们是冷眼来看别人笑话的而不仅仅是把你所见到的转成视频（你们加入了自己的主观色彩，使后来的观赏者有了先入为主的偏见），更不用说怎么让这些sb行为怎么才能不sb了。

嗨哥们,你换个角度想想就觉得这挺正常了,拍这片子人也是年轻人,不是说当个英语老师就道德上多高多尊重别人了,这么说,换你到印度或者中东国家走一趟,比中国差多了吧,你要拍在么个自己的游记,平常心讲,你不骂两句你心里不憋着?北美也有不行的地方,咱到了也不一样这么骂他们,他们老外觉得也没啥,跟着一起骂都是经常的.
咱中国就这样,咱人多,人穷,资源不多,但是咱也在发展,不能因为咱有不好的地方还不让别人说,我觉得里面说的脏话虽然刺耳,但是也没有离谱到故意贬低咱祖国的份上,您要是觉得老外拍着些拾故意贬低咱那就当我没说,说句我自己的感觉,咱自己觉得发展挺快挺牛b的那些东西,其实都没啥,倒是应该看看巨大的差距才是真的,踏踏实实干活比啥都强,
cheers
