I'm Stu. I've been in China since 2007 and this channel is all about things that you wouldn't normally see anywhere else. Travel. Food. Culture... My Hilarious Parents. Everything!
You were a very brave young kid when you arrived in China. Your perseverance & resilience is strong! Your parents are very supportive and love you deerly. Congratulations!
I love the Jasmine Cheesecake idea.(I drink Jasmine tea for breakfast); have bought all the ingredients to make the cheesecake. Also, your Dad use the chopsticks expertly.
Stu, what a unique, impressive and thoroughly delightful experience you gave your parents !!! Many Westerners, and even many Chinese, will never be so fortunate to enjoy these 2 phenomena. It is very obvious that your parents raised you well; teaching you the most important quality, kindness, with a dash of humor.
The most beautiful place in West Lake is on the west side of West Lake. This is the place in the video, called Turtle Pond, Maojiabu. Few outsiders go there. It is a private garden for Hangzhou citizens. It is best to go there in the morning. West Lake on a rainy day is more beautiful than on a sunny day, and West Lake on a snowy day is more beautiful than on a rainy day. Ordinary people only walk around West Lake once when they visit West Lake. If you can take a boat tour like in this video, you can really appreciate the beauty of West Lake. If you go west of West Lake and visit Lingyin Temple, Taoguang Temple, Yongfu Temple, Faxi Temple and Huiyin Temple, you can appreciate the beauty of the classical southeastern Buddhist country in the Wuyue period. If you can go to North Peak and South peek or Yuhuang Mountain, you can overlook West Lake and Qiantang River from a higher angle. Every season has its beauty when visiting West Lake, and you can come to travel to West Lake at any time.
