your hair came out NICE. I'm thinking of moving to China. What should I DO or KNOW first before I decide to move there? For instance Employment? Healthcare? education? rules and regulations?
@devonferris go to those big cities=more ppl can speak English,that might help u alot.
Make friend with local English teachers,u might need translator&guide one day.
for instance employment...u can be an English teacher but u need to prepare some English teaching certificate first. Or u can join those private English school(like New Oriental).
As a chinese international student in Australia I know u will face many challenges but I believe most local ppl will be glad to help you.
you can have your haircut done for 1 euro, but the skill is really poor. I normally spend 15euro for my haircut, that is the average price in Shanghai, bwt, I am shanghainese.
When I visited China [Beijing, Shanghai, Yangtze River, Chongqing, Xi'an, Guilin, Macau & Hong Kong] I found it really cool how most of the salons are open so late! We were taking the bus back to our hotel a lot of the time around 10:30pm and still some salons were open, and a few other little stores.
If you could choose one city to go back and visit which would you choose? I would choose Hong Kong for sure. That city is just amazing!
@dodocrest I was in an area of Beijing called Wangfujing this week and they had fried crabs on a stick! They were delicious. You could also get tarantula, scorpion, and huge caterpillars on a stick. All fried, of course.
@danielmeller That's so scary. >< Appreciate the fact that you're not one of those brainwashed American bashing on a developing country. Geez, to get that same haircut here in HK would cost around $20USD... Worse of all, no pilot uniform! It's ridiculous here!
@kaiju5150 - Oh shut up with your animal rights. You know other countries are barely surviving to find ways to eat. This may look cruel to you but it is normal to them. Those animals are food to people there to keep Human beings alive. Americans gust live such an easy life that of course they forget what they are eating were once caged too and slaughtered processed and delivered to your store that you shop at. Why don't you complain about your american farms.
Most people dont understand is the mentality behind resturant food culture in China. Resturant food in China are not the extension of home-made food like how it is in the western. Resturant food in China strives to be exotic. Most of the time, the food which western people think we chinese eat are actually extic food that most of us wont even touch.
The last thing you wanna eat when you're in China is a pertified Goose egg. Fuuuucccck that. Its red, black, yellow and they're all in different layers when you cut them.
They served it with a smile. And when I was in china, some guys were making some super dank looking popcorn with a really loud machine. But I decided to get KFC instead.
@whahpndlastnight, Oh, you mean the big tubular kinda machines where they lite fire to heat it up and rotate on the fire and when it is done, it gives a huge 'boom'! Dude, those are good stuff!!!!!! Those are the original pop corns, make naturally from real corns!!!!
@jimmyjamesWang Yeah. I had some, it was pretty decent. Then the cops chased them off for some reason. From what I've seen, cops in Hangzhou are total dicks.
wow. Chinese hairdressers charge around 20 Euros here in Italy and they are sending natives out of business, with current prices at 80 Euros for the same service. I wonder what you could get for 20 Euros back there.
hey, i'm from shanghai. i never do the massage part, and it's 2.5 dollars to have haircut and wash only...and i think the haircuts in china are much more professional than those in US, at least for several $10-15 haircuts i had in the past year (this is my first year in US), they were like cutting the grass...i hate that
most of the chinese restaraunt dont make that much money,ya lucky to live in shanghai,cause you can eat whatever ya want at reasonable price,not like being in "beep" japan...
good video i moved to shanghai yesturday and also got a haircut simular kinda thing got a massarge aswell that was 90rmb probally got ripped off slightly still cheaper than england though !!!
30 yuan for a haircut that u cud of done yourself, priceless,thank for the upload of the video, i seen a few of them places in shagnhai i avoid cause the cabin crew uniform freak me out, and many places in shanghai have differs in prices when it coem to getting hair done, but overall loverly video.
true. If you go to Nanjing lu and heading for the most posh hairdresser they will charge you for 30 incl massage, wash and dry. A place like that should only charge you for 10-15. :-D You got taxed.
awesome video! and who could beat that type of service and attention for only 4 bucks...my god here in NY my haircut is 7 bucks and it lasts like 10 minutes and i walk out with a face full of hair that was trimmed lol
That was great. Thanks for sharing. First of all I was hungry so I could have eaten any of the fish AND the bird--no problem. Second of all, I have a haircut this am $65--no massage and no ear cleaning.
That was wonderful to see. First of all I was hungry. I could have eaten any of the fish AND the bird. Second of all, I have a haircut this am for $65--no massage, no ear cleaning. Shanghai is looking REAL good.
Thanks for sharing. Please keep them coming. The videos are just amazing for us to see.
Daniel, It's a GREAT video. Good story, good commentary, funny overlays, cinema verite style with a real "slice of life" content. Its very interesting for us to see how "big city life" in Shanghai is today. The kebabs make me hungry every time I see them.
How about a movie about work, one on your trip to school/work/home, what you do on weekends. etc.
