Life in China is just different 🇨🇳 

For some reason if I don't edit a video straight away I find that very difficult to work on it after some time. I still have a lot of interesting footage from south of Russia, Georgia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Macau, and Cambodia. I'll do these videos before this year ends, and also show you a few more countries I'm about to visit this year (the Philippines soon!) ❤

As a Huawei RnD employee I’ve spent 4 month in Shanghai this year. It’s wonderful city with unique vibe! Definitely love it!

Thank you Niki for all you share. I use videos like this to help with my 11 year old in our homeschool. This shows him a point of view that is interesting to him and he has developed a true love for the ways of life in other Countries. This is information and seeing places in a way he can't learn and see from 'school' videos or text books. So thank you for helping me and my kiddo to learn culture all the way to America!!

I would love to see more videos about China. Everything from the far northern boarder towns near Russia but north to Guangzou and Shenzen. There is a lot to see in China

Great, short tour Niki! It definitely made me more interested in visiting China one day! Looking forward to your next video in the PH!

When in high school over 60 years ago, we also had the same saying at slumber parties, “don’t discuss religion or politics!!

Thank you for your perspective and for sharing vids of places some of us will likely never experience.

Thank you Niki! Enjoyed watching as I always do! ❤❤😊

You are very animated in this video and it’s wonderful to watch! That Russian restaurant looked excellent, but you can’t tell me that was water in that Stolichnaya bottle😂😂😂😂😂 thanks also for the brief shots of bing which we actually have in Portland, Oregon, USA. Some Chinese ex-pats sell it and it is very tasty! Pollution, especially air pollution, would be a big factor for me in China. I don’t think I could breathe very well there.

Niki, One of your best yet! This format (walkabout) very interesting and engaging for me and probably most viewers. Most excellent work!! Keep it up please...

Shanghai also provided refuge to Russians after Bolshevik revolution. That was a century ago.

The food you showed in China looked wonderful. Your Russian friend could easily pass for an American in the US. His English is perfect and his accent is 100% American. He and his wife seemed very nice. Her English was excellent too. The air pollution would be a big negative for me.

Life expectancy in Shanghai is 84.11 years. About 7 years more than US’s life expectancy.

Thanks Niki, Good luck in your travels!

Great trip. I lived in Shanghai for 4.5 yrs on Wulumuqi Rd too. From 1989 to 1993. Gr8 food & time. Couldnt go back. Its all too much glass.

Loved this! Thanks Nikki !

I love these travel vlogs! 👍 Edit: 4:20 "Handsome boy!" She was 1 second away from pinching your cheeks

Loved this video, so wonderful to watch you😊

@niki Fantastic Niki twice today. I missed it live. The food looked great. 🏆

welcome to China !

Thank you for sharing your adventure! Cheers!

This was a great video. Thank you!

Love this type of video!

Great video. Spasibo! Glad your doing well Niki. Id love to go traveling with you. Looks fun and so interesting.

China has been changed alot after 10 years my trip.

Some biker bought a PS 5, China is indeed super advanced.

That restaurant made me drool 🤤 The food looks so delicious.

Thanks for the video. I haven’t been to Shanghai since 2019

I absolutely love your travel videos. It helps this Oregon USA girl see that part of the world. You are so warm, intelligent, charming, and fun to watch. Your friends are blessed to know you! I can't wait to see the Phillipines through your eyes. Be sure to ask them why the term "Filipino" is spelled with the letter "F" instead of "P" like Phillipines!

Love the tea pot and the lovely view.

Hongkonger who left for the UK 6 years ago here! Can't wait to see your vlog in Hong Kong! Hope you had a great time there!

Great video ❤

It's always great to see different cultures getting along. Perhaps one day the world will catch up to you, Mr. Proshin! (Spa-see-bah)

Nice video showing both the good and bad about living in China

Thank you Nikki.

Hi Nicki thank you for sharing this.🌴🐊🌞⛈️🌺

Stay safe Niki, cheers

Thank you from you video in China Niki. For some reason i have not seen many travel videos of China before. The robot who brings you food is amazing. Kind of scary also🙂

hope you enjoyed your stay in Shanghai

Great, fantastic trip, nice city and People

拍得不错，谢谢！

I love your videos. I hope the million subscribers finds you soon, well deserved. Glad to be going through this journey with you

Another awesome video. I totally want to go to China now

Thanks!

I wish in my lifetime I could travel to the places you get to! ❤️

So interesting to see the video! Welcome to China~ At 7 min in this video, like your friend said, I saw some related videos on the bilibili website, we also privately say about restrictions on freedom of talk in offline social. Some time we also share our thoughts on politics, economy, culture, religion in chinese website. Some specific sensitive topics will be restricted, maybe it lead to people lost the right to know the truth of things. But sometimes things are not simple and require a lot of information to judge, most of the time for ordinary people is spent on specific things in life, so we don't have enough time and relevant professional knowledge to support our credible standpoint. so maybe, discussions of some issues can become confusing. I believe we all want peace, have great sympathy for all those who suffered in the riots.

The food looks delicious in Shanghai.

Hi Niki. I very much enjoy your videos. If you ever get to Australia I would be happy to host you for a month of your tourist visa. I live in Glenelg which is a beachside suburb of Adelaide. I have two Russian families as neighbours. I am sure my local Council tourism department would also be glad to have some exposure of this lovely area. Vietjet comes to Melbourne and I am told will soon offer budget fares direct from Adelaide.

Hello from China! I live in Shanghai. Been watching your videos for a long time. Hope we could meet one day:) also I really liked borsh&kompot but it's a bit pricey

Taobao!!!! >.< Order everything while you're there!!! It is now impossible to get anything direct from Taobao outside of China. I need a swimsuit which I put in my cart but cannot check out (even though Taobao used to be easy ordering from overseas).

Safe travels Nikki. Enjoy the Philippines. I’ll be here the day you get to eat good home cooking back in Russia herself. I wish for it oh so much. Спасибо и Пока 👋🏽

Backpacker Ben went to the Philippines a few months ago and I believe he said that it was one of his favorite countries to visit, and hes been to dozens of countries. I'm excited for your visit there, Niki, I think you'll have a really good time!

For a place with not mush pollution Xishuangbanna, You will love, lot to see.

Welcome to the Philippines, Niki, Mabuhay!!!

Это прекрасно Ники,ты в Китае,это одна из величайших культур и цивилизация,которой уже много тысяч лет и я согласна с мнением твоего друга,не надо обсуждать политику,очень много мнений !!! И мне очень понравились русские стаканы с водкой😂😂😂

So happy to see your videos again and especially the trip in China. I’d watched some videos form your channel before when you talked about the supermarket prices in Russia at the beginning of the war. Wish you all the best and be safe

Niki's holiday vlog. Wonder if you will ever go back/be allowed back into Russia?

Thanks! Interesting thanks for sharing your adventures…

So interesting

At 3:36 into your video you show an old telephone cell - presumably dating back to the pre-mobile phone era? Do they actually still use these things in Shanghai... or is it just a relic which was just left to take up space in the shopping mall?

There is a Russian/Ukrainian community in Davao’s Samal island. A few of them are vloggers - Jelena Kopilec, Filipinez, and New Life of Urainian Refugee. It would be nice to see you visit them and vlog about your visit on that island. Take care and God bless. 🥰

There are rude people all over the World. Not just the USA. I love your videos and following you.

Hey, this winter come to a name sale. St. Petersburg Florida. It's a sub-tropitical climate. 😅😅😅

Niki you should visit Sydney for your next film and I can show you around

Go to Brazil Niki, you’ll love it there !

You should do a trip to N.Korea. We don't get a good inside look. Enjoy your trip🙏

Its the overall quality of life improvement that impresses one.

You have a speck of dust on your camera sensor. I've seen it in recent videos.

You just made me think the next time I go back to the UK to see the folks that I should transfer in China, as getting a visa for China from Taiwan is so awkward and expensive.

Philippines is great, i was at CLARK air force base, its closed now but has stuff left over and a lot of old airman still live in Angeles city, that is on Luzon above Manila

It's rapid development and producing products for the world 🐎

Come to Italy. You are very welcome ❤

Thanks

Ben watching you for a year your a great and good young human --- please do not let a coulture control you ... If you eat a dog you should show us.

This was a great video for me, thank you Niki. Could have watched for much longer. I have never been to China. Only Hongkong and Taiwan. I fear that I never will be able to go there and that I will have,to aquaimted with the culture through you tube as much as this is possible.

Favourite part ▪︎ for now....! Great expectations...

3:56 Nice advanced air purifier 🤣🤣🤣

This must be a old video, I live in Shanghai and the weather is crazy hot and humid and in the video people walking around with jackets. By the way xiao long bao is my favourite lunch.

❤

What will you do when your passport expires ?

Chongqing is not China's largest city. So called Chinese cities are really geographical subdivisions within a province. Chongqing was carved out of Szechuan province a few decades ago to speed up development of China's interior, encompassing 80000 km^2, that is roughly the same size as Austria. Out of the 30+ million people living there I would guess that the buildup area of Chongqing holds no more than 10 million people, probably a lot less as this is one of the lesser developed areas in China, and the rest of the population being rural. Shanghai is at least 3 times larger.

Hello from Paris, France

7:33 the guy says Russians don't discuss religion and politics LOL 🤣 I spit my drink all over my desk! thank him for me! i needed a laugh

Yo Stanley’s English is VERY impressive. He has a southern accent. Very curious.

Niki ! - I'm glad you posted this early vlog... snapshot from the past. You find the "Heart-song" in the people you talk with. Great editing with music - I'm thinking of the Russian restaurant. China - futuristic, yes, but i worry about the human component. i contemplate the "Russia-in-Exile" community because... it is a community looking forward to better times...😊...

Come to the US, Nikki!!! ❤️❤️❤️

If you go to the Philippines go North in the Cordillera or Ilocos Region :D

What did your hotel cost?

As a future note, you might consider teaching as a career path or side hustle. University Communication Departments would be interested here in the US...

Niki it would be good to visit Mindanao in the Philippines particularly Cotabato City

Did you meet Richard, from England?

I still want to move to China. Such a modern country...oh and pandas!

Welcome Russians come to China for tourism, study and investment, and hope that the two countries with land power system can implement all industrial cooperation and exemption of visas, and form a red alliance system.

@3:53 That's one way to get a PS5 home 🤣

I would suggest in The Philippines you go to a little city in Samar, called Calbayog. Manila is a Gorilla and not that pretty. Cebu isnt great, most of Luzon is not good, also you could go to Mindoro which isnt bad, in the main The Philippines has a lot to do. I am there at the moment, leaving soon though.

man... i haven't go to the old town part of china

I am watching this video while trying to recommend my videos of teaching Chinese in a funny way to those who want to learn Chinese. If you don’t know your partner or competitor, how could you make good cooperation or compete advantageously or criticize to the point? I hope more people can learn Chinese to get comprehensive firsthand information about China and seek more job opportunities. Chinese is not that difficult to learn as many people imagine. Chinese primary school pupils can easily learn 3000 characters, which cover 99 percent of Chinese characters in newspapers and books.

It sure seems like you've made the best of a bad situation. Travelling the world and earning money by doing it is sort of a dream job for most young people. I loved your insights into Russia, but this equally interesting. I especially loved the server robot.

I real like your dedication on how you take your time to tell us ( your audince ) the way you live and even think (about live). I appriciate that.

Those two people (Chinese woman and Russian man) have a weirdly prominent American accent. How did that happen?
