In recent months there has been an onslaught of laowai influencers arriving in China and within mere hours of arrival, sharing the shocking truth about China. It has truly been an eye opening time for me as a casual consumer of travel slop (good little piggie that I am), as I watch these mostly clueless people who seem to have done no preparation at all for their trip, wander about East Nanjing Road and buy overpriced tourist trap food and wonder why it tastes funny or isn't quite as hot as it should be or why it is expensive, or even better, why they have la duzi (they won't share this because they haven't been in China long enough to know that it is ok to share!)
Even as a retiree I truly don't have time to watch each and every one of these videos (one was 4 hours long wtf) and comment on all the nuttiness within, but I did see a noticeable trend that I thought was vital and necessary for me to comment on here in this video. TRUTH EXPOSED SHOCKING NEWS CHINA WARNING FOR TRAVELERS (WTF!?) I NEVER KNEW IT WAS LIKE THIS! PLEASE CLICK
