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!
As promised. Here it is.
Enjoy.
Hey Laowinners,

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.
Hey Laowinners!
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...
Hey Laowinners!
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!
T-shirts have shipped, looking forward to your pics wearing them!
Thank...
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 the pacing was good enough or if it was too slow (...
Hey Laowinners!
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 wanted to show you the first episode early to say thanks to each and every one of you.
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.
3 weeks to shoot, and months to edit, Quest for the Best Chinese in the USA is c...
Hey Laowinners!
Hope you guys are doing awesome! Thanks to all who suggested this awesome topic on how my perception of my own home country (USA) has changed since I have moved to China.
This was a tricky one, but I dug deep and tried my best to put it into words.
I hope you all enjoy!
Thank you so much for your support!
Hey Laowinners!
Vivi took me to where she used to work in Guangzhou. She promised a good time...
Enjoy!
Hey Laowinners!
How are you guys doing? Let me know whats going on down in the comments here.
I get a TON of emails here from you guys, and I love having chats with you all (sorry if it takes me a little while to respond, there are a ton!)
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 video to address some realities when dating someone ...
Hey Laowinners!
Last months campaign for t-shirts was fun and successful! We need two more designs for the upcoming campaign, so I wanted to open it up to the Patreons! Please leave a comment on this post for an idea as to what you want to see on a Laowhy86 shirt (think of funny things that represent the channel, or something cool or interesting) and I will open it up as a poll for voting!
Thanks for your support!
Hey Laowinners!
First off, massive thanks to everyone that came to the premiere in LA. We had an awesome time hanging out with you guys and seeing the big screen view of our show, Conquering Northern China. It was truly humbling to see you guys there celebrating the massive release.
Winston and I had a film sesh in Hong Kong where we talked about how much it costs to have a vacation in China from a cheap, mid-range, and expensive perspective. Hope you guys enjoy the sode!
Massive thanks to you guys who support our chan...

Hey Laowinners!
Winston and I are filming the "Quest for the Best Chinese in the USA", and got to meet a fantastic character named Wing Lam.

Hey Laowinners!
I am super pumped to tell you guys a day early that I have been accepted into Salty Customs merch program, and will be offering limited edition Laowhy86 merch for all of you guys.

Hey Laowinners!
Merry Christmas, and Happy Hanukah!
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!
One of the videos we made was this one, where I made her try the best three foods in NYC! We had an awesome time, and even ran into some of you guys in the street!
Let me know what you think, and if you enjoyed this type of vid.
Thank you all for your continued support, and I wish t...
Hey Laowinners!
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.
Christmas tree is up, and Vivi and I have already filmed a few episodes of her being here, which are always a blast. We had a ton of fun shooting in Manhattan (got recognized 6 times by Patreons and subscribers!!)
Winston and I shot some ADV stuff right before I flew back for Christmas, and some of the vids are a lot of fun, like this one. Enjoy!
I appreciate each and every o...

Hey laowinners!
I just released the video, Shanghai vs. Beijing on ADVChina, but there are more videos in the same fashion, so I am letting you guys in on the next one early.
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, and we thought it would be a good idea to make a l...

Hey Laowinners!
We are back in the USA for thanksgiving and Christmas! However, I have now started working on the Japan series, so you guys will get an extension of each video for every release.
The poll voted video will be released soon.
Thanks for your support! I appreciate every one of you!

Hey Laowinners!
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, and I have noticed a massive resurgence in hammer a...
Hey Laowinners!
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 illegal religion in China that practices breathing exe...
Hey Laowinners!
The last vote worked out really well, so what I am going to do is keep the runner up on this list and add two more topics that you guys sent me.
Please only vote once, and thank you so much for your input and continued support. I couldn't do it without you guys, and every single one of you is appreciated.
Hey Laowinners!
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 proceeded to review their food. The results were amusing.<...
Hey Laowinners!
I wanted to put out a video about how the safety and law has changed int he 8 years that I have been here.
It has gone from one polar opposite to the next, and I thought it was an interesting perspective.
Coming this week, you vote for the next video!
Looking forward to your ideas, and please post some below so I can add them to the poll.
Thank you for digging deep and helping us out, it means more than you know!
