your scottish accent is so cute
🔥Amazing 🚄🚅🚆China 🇨🇳👍
It's a really chaotic and stressful train tour. China has 1.4 billion population with at least 100 million on different transportation rides every day. Railway stations in big cities often see big crowd of passengers. It makes harder to keep everything in order
If you go to green train stations, the situation is much worse
Is it possible that they moved your other bag because it was not properly placed on the ground that it might slide around and cause hazards?😮
a lot of the 'rude' manners by western standards is generational I would say. if you been to china pre-2000, the infrastructure was not as built up and organized so if you wanted to go anywhere or do anything, you just had "to just go" and not try to be polite about it because there is just way too many people. just getting a metro ticket was pure chaos back then. the thing is, it wasn't considered 'rude' because everyone had to do it so manners is relative to each culture you can say. another factor is a lot of people you see in cities are not native but migrated from smaller rural areas just for employment. in these cases people just don't have the same level of education so things that are fine in a small village would be considered rude and uncivilized in urban areas. I think most people don't know that just 60-70 years ago, china was one of the bottom 10 poorest countries in the world, by gdp per capita so the legacy of this extreme poverty is still seen in habits today. those around 30ish or younger grew up in a much different china and are more exposed to western culture so you don't see as much of it with them.
250 or 350. Bullet train. If it’s European, you must said 450 km per hour. European hates to tell the truth advance technology. I know about European and their media. I am not Chinese but accept the truths is good
深圳和广州很近，广州也很好玩，高铁只需40分钟
You two should have try the business class, which is on the other level totally
Men using shaving spray can cause fires, so it was banned. Everything is for the safety of the train. Because the train is moving at high speed, once the train catches fire, it will burn to the entire train within 10 seconds, and everyone will be injured. Smoking is strictly prohibited on trains.You are away from home, in the center of safety, and your parents in the UK also hope that nothing will happen to you.China train network is the best in the world.China did not build its network of highspeed rail to rival its competitors. It was not a vanity project but infrastructure necessary to support the economy. However, in Western media reports,There always a negative spin on whatever China does.
China's rush mentality stems from recent history. A generation ago, many Chinese experienced starvation and scarcity. The mindset of "rush or miss out" persisted as a survival instinct. This rapid shift from scarcity to abundance within one generation underscores China's remarkable economic transformation.
For the safety of your luggage, the conductor will help you move to a safer train restaurant. It happened to me once before, and I later found it in another carriage. There is surveillance on the train, so you don’t have to worry about losing it.Business class is the most expensive and the best.You must experience business class next time, and you can take a short-haul business class travel. It will be a completely different experience. After arriving at the station early, there is a VIP room where you can wait for the train, which has many food and drinks. After boarding the bus, you can sleep in business class and have free food.
You have made the right choice to choose the 2nd class as the time spent on time is less than 3.5 hours. You can use this money to spend more on street food. 🙂
YES! The Chinese are mega chilled until their have to queue for public transports especially the high-speed rail. I think it might have to do with what they have to do for the Chinese New Year where ALL stations will be rammed with people trying to get home for the long holiday so they just get into the competitive mood as soon as they get into the high-speed rail stations.
From the video , I can see the waiting queue is quite typical and organized.
Maybe people from west countries have different standard. Comparing with the chaos 20 years ago in railway station, today's China railway stations are quite in order.
And the carriage is quite empty as from the video.
Hello from Shenzhen! Welcome to my city and hope you had a great time here
I think you should try business class, comfort as first class of airliner.
Maybe the crew have asked about your bag but obviously in Chinese so you didn't get that
17:30 similar like what happens to me in Japan, if you put your suitcase behind the last row of the seat, the staff usually will move it, the difference is in Japan if you put it behind the last rows of the seat, you will be charged because of it, and the reason why they did that usually because the suitcase we're either blocking the chair to reclining or some passengers report to the staff about your stuff because they can't find the owner nearby. So yeah just a heads up they might move your stuff if you are not put your suitcase properly, i mean is not a bad thing, that's why i learned my lesson and now if i bring massive suitcase i always rush to find luggage rack every time i take the high speed train😅
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I recently visited Ireland.. why is is 'infested' with radical Islamists.. it is disgusting.. Went to Poland after waaaaaaaay better and safe.
😀😀😀
中国欢迎你们
lol mate, till this day, still don’t understand the rush when you already have the tickets
DON'T use your western standards to measure China and Chinese stuff！OK？？？？
are u in Shenzhen now?
China fast /bullet train 350km/hour not 250km dude ….😂 Even the new China bullet train more faster .
6:07 You are wondering what the rush? Dude china is the manufacture of the world, what do you expect…smooth sailing?!
well, first class just a bit more roomy, with a bit extra package. you should try business class, big differences.
Love you videos there. Thank you for sharing 🙂
