  • "Cultural differences are just that. But people are people." Beautifully put 👏
  • The guy who started laughing when they asked him about dating is me 😂😂😂
  • “She dumped me outside a Costco.” Omg. I’m dead. 😆😆😆
  • I can feel that Chicago guy’s pain. If my girlfriend’s English name is Walmart I will be upset as well

    All of the interviewed Americans are so eloquent and nice! If I was interviewed on the street I would be wayyy to nervous to talk so casually😂
  • @riat1015

    I'm Chinese. I can say something about the opinion of saying "thank you" in Chinese culture. When we grew up, at least for me, is that we don't say thank you to the people who are really close to us. Saying "thank you" will often make people feel like an outsider in your life, especially when they just want to do nice things to you, or even just regular things. I distinctly remembered my mom feel a little bit sad when I express thanks to her after I came back from the states. For me personally, I always felt my American friends being over-polite, but I soon realized it's just a cultural difference, as they often joked themselves of being too thankful in front of me.
  • Only dated one girl when I lived in China (my first love actually). We met when I was travelling and stayed in contact long distance for several months before I bought a one way ticket back there to look for work teaching. We dated for 2 years and had a massive wedding in her hometown. Marching band, huge performances, traditional Tang clothing, horse, huajiao sedan chair etc. Even the ceremony involved crossing the bridge, stamping on rice, stepping over fire, firing the three arrows (sky, chair, ground) and drinking baijiu through interlocked arms. That was 10 years ago. 10 years happily married this year in my home country. I doubt we would ever move back to China to live though. We have established our lives here in Australia. I guess it's still rare these days to fall in love and marry your first love. But I'm blessed to never have experienced the pain of a breakup etc.
  • "The name was probably the most interesting thing about her" MANS A SAVAGE HAHA
  • The black lady who talked about the issue with fetishizing has the most soothing voice. I could listen to her talk all day.
  • @Cvettie
    The girl with the green hair: if you are reading this, you are the cutest thing I have seen and give off such kind vibes 🥺
  • This is actually really interesting. Not every topic needs to be so gloomy
  • @csoper998
    the guy whose talking about saying 'thank you' and being dumped at costco has SO much energy he's so excited
  • The "thank you" thing is legit. If you are polite to your close friends, they think you are putting distance between you and them
  • I’ve met a Chinese guy who’s English name was Bingo, bless him 😭
  • 1:46 It's amazing you interview this girl again, and she changed her hair from white to yellow-green!😂😂
  • An interview with an openly Bisexual Black American man living in China?? What a time to be alive ❤️✨🏳️‍🌈✨ ❤️
  • Tips for foreigners who want to get married to Asians, LEARN THEIR LANGUAGE. Asian people are very family-centric and you're ought to be close to your in-laws as much as your own parents. Therefore, communication is a big thing. If you can speak their language even a little bit, at least to the point where you can have a casual basic conversation with them, you'll be guaranteed an approval.
