Greetings friends, welcome back to the Smallburn Podcast.

Today we are in Shenzhen Airport and you have some lovely advertisements behind me.

I'm not sure if that's copyrighted material.

No, it looks like it's AI.

It's probably fine.

Okay.

Today we're leaving China.

It's about damn time.

If you ask me.

Hello.

Business?

Oh.

Offered to upgrade me to business class, but I have to pay.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it um well welcome guys

we made it we finished the series in China um

I have very mixed feelings about China some days I love

it some days I hate it in general I love

it I think it is one of the best countries to travel

I think the people are the friendliest food is great um relatively easy to go around

but I just I've been having a lot of I don't know maybe I'm just in a bad mood today

but i've been having a lot of experiences like things are just

so needlessly hard in china i just got done with uh the security for example in the airport

and it is

so exhausting to go through security in china

i'm on a three -hour flight going to bangkok i'm gonna relax i'm I'm gonna put my feet up

and hang out with the ladyboys.

And, you know, I desperately need a vacation.

I'm very tired after like 18 days filming almost every single day.

But I'm flying out international from Shenzhen.

And the airport security, I must say, in China is so incredibly extra.

I don't understand, you know.

People and me personally, I lament the U .S.

security state.

I lament the TSA.

I know they don't actually help prevent terrorist attacks.

I know they're not actually making us safer.

It's just the government bloat and waste.

I mean, it's like a whole industry.

Thousands of people are employed and they do nothing.

They do not help the security situation in America.

At least last I checked, and that was like 10 years ago.

So I'm just going to go with that.

We're going to go with that.

but the security state in china is on a whole nother level

it's almost similar to like iraq where they're getting bombed like on repeat

and they have like ongoing insurgencies in the country when i went to the iraq airport with nolan

in order to get through security in order to even enter the airport

you have to put your bag down in a line with other people

and then a dog comes and snips it for bombs

and I gotta make sure I'm not missing my flight okay

I think we're good they made us put our backs down

and then we had to step away from the bags

and then a dog came and sniffed the bags right now

that was extra but it was Iraq

so I'm like fine let's let them have this let's let them check the bag it's fine whatever

and then also in Iraq once you enter the airport you have to put your bag in a metal detector

and then also when you get to your gate no through security metal detector

and then scan the bag

and then at the gate the metal detector scan the bag as

if you had picked up something in the airport you had like assembled something in the airport right

but I was okay I was like okay that's a lot that's extra that's that's pretty crazy

but you know it's iraq so whatever here the only step

that was not involved was the the dog sniffing the bag

i had to put my bag through security three times to

get on a flight from shenzhen to bangkok like a very common pedestrian route that i'm sure

chinese tourists

and thai tourists take all the time it's a big city in china

it's a huge city in Thailand I'm not going to Kabul

I'm not going to you know Yemen

it's I'm going from like a big city with tourists to another big city with tourists

I don't I don't get it obviously there's something I'm missing

I am not the smartest guy you know I don't pretend to be

but I don't know I just can't help but feel like it's a little bit extra I don't know maybe I'm wrong.

I'm probably wrong.

But from where I'm sitting, it makes no goddamn sense to me.

It makes absolutely no goddamn sense.

And so anyways, scan it back three times, show them the passport.

Oh, also when you enter the airport, they have to like...

Scan they have to like wipe down your whole clothing for for bomb residue and

So that's annoying also and then you get into

The airport and you put your back to security and this is where it's different.

This is where

China is so Fucking extra.

I need to look over my shoulder.

I need to make sure no one's Ma 'am.

Are you listening?

Do you speak English?

Hello No?

Okay.

All right.

We're good.

We're in the clear.

She's ignorant.

So you put your bag through, and usually in the U .S., it's a lot.

You have to take your liquids out, laptops out, shoes off, belts off.

It's a lot.

It's really annoying.

I've made a whole episode on why I hate the TSA and why I specifically despise the Atlanta airport.

100

But it's not just that in China.

101

It's not just that.

102

It's basically everything.

103

And I'm carrying around this backpack here.

104

See?

105

This little backpack.

106

And it's packed very tight.

107

I've done, I think, a very good job packing my backpack nice and tight.

108

Sorry, the fucking screen behind me is distracting the fuck I mean,

109

okay Coughing up my Chinese cigarette emphysema in the last week and a half.

110

I need to fucking chill out on the smokes

111

But I'm going to Bangkok.

112

I'm cleaning up my act no more ciggies,

113

okay, just the Diet Cokes So anyways the bag you put it there's security,

114

but you don't it's not just regular security you have to take out

115

all of your batteries all of your electronic devices

116

and all of your cameras now let's ponder let's let's pontiffize right now my viewers

117

what line of work am i in i'm a youtuber

118

i have cameras i have batteries i have chargers i have power banks.

119

That's a whole other thing.

120

I had to buy a specific Xiaomi Chinese power bank because they had some fire.

121

One of somebody's power bank exploded on a plane like two, three years ago.

122

And so I got to do that.

123

I had to buy that.

124

It was 50 bucks, but it's fine.

125

It's like, whatever.

126

But they also confiscated my other power bank that I bought in America.

127

That thing was like 80 bucks.

128

That thing was a beast.

129

And something happens with the phones in China.

130

I know when you're here like they you're i guess

131

because the e sim routes your cellular data traffic from a chinese tower to a four

132

i don't know i tried to look into it it's very complicated

133

it's been almost it's been impossible to get my editor files here uh

134

that's a whole other thing i mentioned on the last show

135

but i won't get into it

136

so i had to lose my $80 power bank had to buy the $50 one it has this like

137

if you guys want to come to china you have to buy a power bank that

138

It says CCC on it.

139

CCC.

140

And it has like a non -flammable sign on there.

141

I guess it, some law they made here that you have to have it.

142

And of course I don't know that.

143

So I come here, lose the 80 buck power charger and then I have to buy the $50 power charger.

144

And who knows, it probably isn't allowed in America.

145

I don't know why we just can't be friends.

146

I don't know why the administrative state in each country has such a stick up each other's ass.

147

They're like they don't trust anything that comes from America I'm pretty sure you can buy Chinese phones in America.

148

I know Huawei is banned, but I'm pretty sure

149

The other phones are not banned look that up

150

Rob, I think like the one plus or the Xiaomi I thinking my Xiaomi's I think you can buy I

151

Don't know look it up look it up

152

Rob So I had to do that, that's fine But also this airport, and I'm used to that by now I've flown in China,

153

I've been here like 18 days I'm used to it

154

They're really paranoid about the power chargers

155

That's fine, that's their thing

156

You know, we have our thing

157

No bombs on planes, they have their thing

158

No chargers on planes

159

And so Not only that

160

But I have

161

Like the way I've packed my bag

162

It's like a fucking fortress

163

I like shove everything down in the bottom all the tech

164

is like very it's deep in there it's in like its own pouch I'd like and

165

Then the fucking packing cubes are on top and then my laptop is like shoved in there

166

And then my toiletries bag is like shoved on top of the clothes I have like socks

167

and shirts and whatever and you know, it's very meticulously packed I must say I think I did a great job

168

For how much shit that I have and it's it's only in one bag

169

and no one's asked me to check it once

170

It's a fucking miracle

171

but the guys like all cameras all batteries all electronics out

172

i was like fuck i have these mics they come in a little

173

i don't have the pouch where's the pouch it's a pouch with like a little thingy in it.

174

And then there's like batteries in here.

175

Obviously it has batteries because it's a fucking wireless charger or wireless, what's it called, mic.

176

Got that, I got my DJI camera, I had to show them.

177

I had to dig it out of the bottom of the bag.

178

I had to, and it's not even like a suitcase where you can just open it up,

179

boom, I'll just grab the batteries and you hand them to them.

180

You have to go in your bag.

181

Look at these ladies, they're doing a little photo shoot now it's

182

so cute okay I had to like find the batteries unzip it it's in its own pouch

183

and its own pouch in its bag

184

so I have to fucking go in there

185

and find it show them the batteries and I was with Mike okay

186

and he left me his battery pack on accident

187

or I guess I stole it when we were drunk

188

and I just been carrying

189

that around I'm three extra batteries I'd show them those batteries

190

I didn't know where they were in the bag

191

I had to fish through the bag

192

they had to show me on x -ray where they are in the bag

193

and then what else um oh yeah my digital camera

194

because my digital i was like i'm not going to film anything

195

i'm fucking it's a travel day i'm just going to be in airports all day

196

so i have my little digital camera in the bottom of the bag i had to find that

197

so you should have seen it bro

198

it was a fucking spectacle like i had my bag all

199

the clothes were everywhere all the batteries were out my fucking charger they obviously had to inspect

200

that thoroughly not to mention my anal cavity obviously these are doing a whole ass photo shoot dude

201

wow the chinese women love love love photos taken of themselves um i say

202

that as i'm filming myself um it just it doesn't make any sense i don't understand

203

and it made me feel bad for ever talking shit about the American security state because in China it just hits different.

204

It is just different.

205

They are so intense.

206

You have to, they scan me for bombs, bombs.

207

My bag was scanned three times.

208

Who knows if it's going to be scanned again, getting on the plane.

209

I had to show them my batteries.

210

I had to show them my cameras.

211

I had to show them my laptop and I had to show them my power bank.

212

Right.

213

And I guess now that I'm explaining it, it's the thing is like, if I had known it was going to happen,

214

it'd be like more understandable.

215

But the fact that it was all surprise and I had to fucking,

216

and it reminded me of this one time on in going from India to Pakistan on foot, I had the same bag.

217

And this guy at the border made me do not the same thing, but he was like, made me take out everything.

218

He made me show him every article of clothing, every sock, every flip flop in my bag, every battery, every camera.

219

The guy was literally just doing it to be a dick in Pakistan

220

but something about China I don't know it's the security state is just it's

221

so goddamn intense and I was trying to buy the fucking charger thing

222

and I got my eSIM for Thailand

223

and make sure you download whoever the eSIM sponsor is at this current moment guys

224

it will help the channel immensely otherwise I'm just talking into the void but not making any money.

225

You know, it's my last day in China.

226

I probably won't be back till next year.

227

And it was just kind of like a big middle finger to go out on, like all the security shit.

228

And then I go to buy this, this thing that I honestly shouldn't have to buy because my other charger,

229

my other portable charger was made in China.

230

It was made in China.

231

It was made here.

232

It was shipped to me.

233

I brought it back.

234

I don't know why that's an issue.

235

I guess it's for brighter minds than me I guess

236

this is why I'm not in the room making those decisions because I just simply do not understand.

237

I Don't think I'll ever understand.

238

I don't think I'll want to understand.

239

I'd rather just complain to you guys

240

Yeah, I go to buy this thing and fucking and obviously my Alipay doesn't work because there's something I downloaded the Thailand eSIM,

241

but I activated it too early or something, and it was interfering with the current eSIM, and I thought I was in Thailand,

242

so we started asking all these new verification questions.

243

I had to verify with my bank.

244

They had to text me.

245

I had to tap my card on my phone, and obviously, obviously, no one at the store spoke English.

246

Obviously, why would they?

247

It's just a huge international airport.

248

obviously Look how nice it is.

249

Can you see the?

250

Ceiling and stuff.

251

I know it's not the greatest view, but it's a very nice airport very well connected

252

We're in South China.

253

It goes to Southeast Asia You can get flights to Macau Hong Kong from here.

254

You can tell you take the train to Hong Kong from here

255

Philippines Taiwan I'm sure like I don't get it.

256

I don't understand.

257

I don't know.

258

Maybe I'm just in a crabby mood today.

259

I think that's what it is But yeah, the the the power bank thing I'm like

260

Of course my fucking alley pay didn't work

261

and I don't know just a disaster as I'm saying this I realize I'm just being a fucking pussy

262

Oh, you know what?

263

I think my flight is Boarding okay guys.

264

All right guys.

265

We just landed in Bangkok and all the sudden I'm in a much better mood

266

But I did have a few things I wanted to mention.

267

I forgot to say that the pat -down to get through security, I clocked it.

268

I did one Mississippi, two Mississippi.

269

So it might actually be a little slow, my estimation.

270

It was 50 seconds, a almost full minute of a man groping me with the inside of his hand,

271

with the backside of his hand.

272

He made me turn around.

273

He made me bend over no it actually it was a minute

274

and the pat down was so incredibly thorough

275

so incredibly thorough they swabbed my hat for bomb material

276

they swabbed my shoes for bomb material

277

i have never been in a more paranoid country never been in a more paranoid country it's crazy

278

but i'm feeling much better now

279

that we're in thailand also remember the power bank fiasco remember i was bitching about

280

that a few minutes ago

281

it's they did not allow me to use the power bank on the plane

282

they saw it they saw it in my hands they saw it on the phone

283

and they made me detach it from my phone so they had all this rigmarole all this

284

administrative crap around it and in the end they didn't even let me use it

285

they didn't let me use it I couldn't I couldn't believe

286

it also look at me vlogging in an airport like a boss I used to be

287

so paranoid about this now I just have no consideration for other people

288

they're all just pawns in my game I'm the main character

289

that's what being a vlogger will turn you into what else

290

there's something else I wanted to mention oh it was you know less of a big deal

291

but the I got on the plane in the fucking water bottle

292

I they didn't let me hold my water bottle

293

or my bag my little crossbody little like camera bag

294

and they didn't let me wear it in my lap

295

I had to like shove it down in the seat the water bottle

296

I couldn't even put it in the overhead bin

297

I had to like put it in my bag in the overhead bin so the Chinese

298

people are extremely extra the airlines are incredibly extra actually that's it that's all I gotta say

299

but I'm very happy to be in Thailand

300

I have a very nice lady here she is escorting me it's a $75 service

301

and they just take you right through security don't have to wait in line

302

Bangkok oftentimes has horrible horrible horrible lines and a immigration

303

and stuff so I gotta stop filming

304

but you want to say hello you want to say hello okay see you guys bye

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
