1
Good afternoon from the city of Shanghai here in China.
2
Look at the state of the skyline.
3
That is what you call seriously iconic.
4
The big one on the right hand side is the Shanghai Tower and that is the third highest building in the world.
5
Right now I'm in the heart of the city on this promenade overlooking the river.
6
This is called the Bund and the Bund stretches all the way up in this direction.
7
In this video, I want to get my first impressions of this absolute mega city.
8
I'm going to try and speak to some locals, which will be extremely difficult because literally no English is spoken here.
9
It is Chinese or Chinese and I'm not going to lie, my Chinese is absolutely rubbish.
10
That should be funny to watch.
11
I want to eat some local food, of course, and just see what the city has to offer.
12
No real plan, so let's get going.
13
What I like to do
14
when I arrive in a city as big as this is try to get as high as possible.
15
So I think the best way to start this video is to go up the Shanghai Tower.
16
Interestingly, there's actually no foot bridges or even road bridges to cross this river.
17
Your only hope is by boat.
18
Look, there's nothing all the way along there.
19
There's literally nowhere to cross.
20
So these guys are queuing, if you see it under there, these guys are queuing for that boat there
21
but that's sort of like a river cruise
22
which i don't really want i'm more after like a river taxi
23
so let's keep on moving up here one of the biggest challenges
24
so far of traveling china is the fact
25
that google here is blocked nobody no local uses google
26
which means google maps isn't being updated no businesses use it no people are leaving reviews
27
or anything so you can't go on it with a vpn but it is absolutely pointless.
28
So I'm using a different map called AMAP and that is all in Chinese
29
which isn't ideal but AMAP has led me down here.
30
This is sort of like below where I started the video
31
and I believe this is where you get tickets for the ferry.
32
I can see the ferry through there so that's a good sign
33
but I've no idea where I'm going or what I want to do here.
34
So this spot over here is doing river cruises
35
which i don't want huang pu river cruise i only want to cross the river
36
so i'm not interested in that that is 100 which is like 10 pounds or 12 us dollars
37
i can't be right i wonder if i can just scan over here
38
and jump on like a river taxi i can see a 2 yuan
39
that is 20 pence for for something let's get my alipay out i'll talk about it more in the video
40
but this country is cashless so you must use QR codes for everything here in China.
41
Let's go for this one do it.
42
I'm just gonna scan this.
43
Alipay.
44
Alipay.
45
I'm gonna set up.
46
Okay.
47
She just activated like a metro bus card on my Alipay
48
so I'm just gonna click use now
49
and there we go we've got a Shanghai bus QR code now so you just put that into here. Is that good?
50
Oh I'm good okay okay.
51
My bag okay.
52
Very strict with security here.
53
I wonder if my camera can used to go through as well.
54
Okay see you there side.
55
Right done.
56
I think that is two yuan which is pretty cheap
57
but I haven't got any notifications or anything it just says welcome aboard swipe
58
and ride on the app
59
and i'm going to jump on this thing here fingers crossed it takes me to the shanghai tower
60
so you can set downstairs
61
or you can jump upstairs there's a review up here can you get outside you can they've got a bar in here
62
They're selling Lay's crisps and drinks in the fridge.
63
Outside, here we go.
64
Sorry.
65
There we go.
66
There you go.
67
A two yuan river cruise.
68
Not a bad price.
69
Right, we are on the move.
70
And hopefully we're heading towards that big building.
71
As the sweat starts to run down my face on camera, I just want to show you the temperature to prove it is this hot.
72
37 degrees feels like 42.
73
It's not ideal is it?
74
Right that is it, I'm getting off here.
75
And just like that we've successfully navigated our first method of local transport here in Shanghai.
76
Very easy, just jump on a random boat and Fingers crossed takes you to the right direction but here we have
77
Shanghai Tower and on maps it is an eight minute walk, well it's right there, can't be that far,
78
eight minute walk to the bottom of the building.
79
So it looks like now I've got this
80
transport shanghai qr code that that girl activated for me so
81
that looks like it covers bus and metro
82
so far honestly the qr code payment system
83
so good i absolutely despise getting cash out in countries handling cash it is
84
so so dirty so the fact that china is cashless is something i'm a huge fan of so far.
85
Look, scan the QR code to buy a ticket.
86
I'm going to use my WeChat for this, so open up the app, pay and services.
87
There we go.
88
Scanning.
89
Ah, okay.
90
Oh, it's all in Chinese now.
91
Disaster.
92
Right, bit of a palaver, but I have completed the ticket payment process system.
93
It required my passport details and a few other bits of information, but 180, just click pay there,
94
does my face ID and I'm done. Where is my ticket?
95
All done by QR code.
96
And there we go, my phone, adult ticket.
97
Ticket.
98
Yeah.
99
Oh, you're cooking.
100
Okay, perfect.
101
And you scan, okay.
102
One QR code to the next QR code.
103
Take it into this photo booth, look.
104
This guy takes a professional picture of you.
105
very good okay okay right on to the ticket gate
106
so this is actually one of the fastest elevators in the world i believe it's 20 meters per second.
107
Pretty quick.
108
And there's the Guinness World Record on the wall.
109
Fastest elevator.
110
Going in.
111
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Shanghai Tower.
112
Now we are taking the world's fastest high -speed elevator fastest
113
speed is 18 meters per second in only 55 seconds
114
we will reach observatory of shanghai tower we have arrived at 118th floor wish you a pleasant tour
115
you know thank you oh
116
that was mad ears popping all the way up don't want to speak in the elevator because awkward
117
but hello we've arrived here's the first glimpse i think
118
this is the highest one of the highest observatories in the world
119
i believe it's maybe higher than the burj khlifa observatory
120
but look at that down there probably looks absolutely crap on camera
121
because of the glare
122
but trust me they're pretty high up
123
that's how big the city is it just goes for absolute miles
124
you can literally i can't see the end of the city
125
which is buildings forever here's a little tip for you
126
if you're coming up the shanghai tower or any other towers in the world don't come up
127
when the sun is at the highest point in the sky i am getting blinded
128
and the glare on the glass is so annoying however
129
that is where i started the video down there that's where i got the boat from
130
and then across the river down to here walked a little bit
131
and got myself up here
132
but these are literally skyscrapers down there look how small they look it's like a hsbc one there
133
that is the famous shanghai tv tower that pink one right there
134
but look at the the buildings they just go for absolute miles i think they've also got access to 119
135
so let's try up here
136
so busy down there can barely even get a little gap in the window oh
137
this is a bit quieter up here that's not bad actually
138
this is the best i'm gonna get it look at the contrast there all the big buildings
139
and then all those small buildings in there they must be like residential
140
or housing area if you bought the pass for the floor above
141
which is 632 you get the ai immersive cinema experience i didn't go for
142
that option because i'm not interested in cinema or art but
143
if you're interested in that
144
that could be good okay
145
that's enough time spent at the top the third highest building
146
in the world time to get back down on the streets i just realized i gave you absolutely zero information
147
or facts about the building i was just up so this is your facts it has 128
148
floors and it's 632 meters done no more history okay now i'm trying to find the metro station
149
Take me back across the river.
150
Metro, this way.
151
Right, I do believe I can use that QR code the girl sorted me out with earlier.
152
So let's get that up on Alipay.
153
Let's go Alipay and then transport.
154
And this should now work.
155
That's a red one.
156
That's a green one.
157
This should now work on here.
158
Please enter.
159
There we go.
160
Line 14, do I want to go to Guacqui Road or do I want to go to Fengbang?
161
I haven't got a clue.
162
My destination is Yuan Guan.. oh Fengbang.
163
Fengbang Direction.
164
So it's this one.
165
Look at how advanced this is.
166
This is when the next train is arriving.
167
1 minute and 50 seconds.
168
The one after that is 9 minutes and then 17 minutes.
169
And it also tells you the carriages.
170
Look, this is how full they are
171
so this one on the left is 10 % full
172
so this train really should be empty because most of them are like 5 % nice
173
this metro is so nice it's absolutely spotless so clean
174
and it's dead quiet as well nobody's talking on the on the train big fan also
175
it's very very cheap let's figure out how much
176
this is i don't actually know how much it's going to cost
177
because of that ticket that i got but yesterday's ride
178
when i was messing around in the city was like 30 pence 30 pence for a metro ride compared to
179
the uk london's like two pound 40 or something even
180
if you go one stop or rip off this is
181
so much more affordable this is why every local is using public transport here alipay
182
now knows i'm at the station welcome to the station scan to exit comes up with the code
183
i put it here and the barrier opens
184
so good i love it okay i'm now at yu yuan garden which is a more so older part of the city
185
So I came here to show you the contrast between the old and the new.
186
Wow, how nice.
187
Obviously I just showed you all of those new buildings.
188
Already you can sort of get a feel for this area and how it's a bit more traditional with this lovely gate.
189
A Japanese style, Chinese style gate right in front of me.
190
I don't want to film this guy directly behind me, but this is just to show you how cashless China is.
191
So obviously there's beggars in China, as there is in every country.
192
And this guy has a QR code on the ground.
193
So rather than giving cash, which nobody has, you just scan the QR code, type in how much money you want to transfer them,
194
and that is how beggars get their money.
195
Same applies to busking, I guess.
196
I haven't seen any buskers in China so far, but I guess that's how they would get their money, by playing instruments on the street.
197
Look, as you can see, you've got the QR code there.
198
But we do have a little bit of cash we do have a little bit of cash in his
199
in his cup which is surprising but he takes both methods of payment,
200
this is literally one metro stop away from the skyscrapers,
201
look at that, so nice I really like how they've not like torn down these old buildings look at them,
202
absolutely awesome this part of town literally, you can't see there you go there is the shanghai tower
203
so about 20 minutes ago i was at the top of there
204
and now i'm down here got a little food area here
205
let's see what's being sold oh look at these massive big
206
crab roll soup dumplings they've got straws in them obviously for sucking the soup out
207
shanghai is the home of the soup dumping the sha long bao so maybe i'll have to get some
208
Oh wow, these are like scallion pancakes, big crispy boys, fried meat.
209
These are like soup dumplings but they've got little, they've been fried so a little bit crispy on the outside.
210
Oh man the smell is so good, I'm getting very very hungry.
211
Might need to try some of these.
212
Yeah, let's go for these.
213
These look so good.
214
I'm going to get two.
215
Neha, I got two.
216
32, okay.
217
Ah, for four.
218
33 before, okay.
219
32 for four, that'll do me.
220
It's like three quid or something.
221
Oh man, look at those scallions on top.
222
Alipay or no?
223
Alipay.
224
Procesing.
225
Good?
226
Okay.
227
Sissa.
228
Perfect, thank you.
229
I'll go back.
230
I think there's like some chilli or something you can add to these.
231
There's some chilli oil, look at that.
232
Fresh chilli.
233
Two meat.
234
And this is like soy sauce maybe or ponzu.
235
Okay.
236
So you grab your food and then you go tuck in at the canteen seating area.
237
Absolutely buzzing in here.
238
Right, first meal of the day.
239
I believe this is called like jiao, janglaobao.
240
Janglao bao, potentially.
241
It basically means they're soup dumplings but they've been fried on the bottom.
242
Ah, sesame seeds on the bottom, some black seeds on top, not 100 % sure where they are, but these are going to be good.
243
Chilli oil and like a vinegar, wow, a vinegar on the side, okay.
244
So I think what you're supposed to do here is pierce a little hole with your mouth
245
and then suck the soup out.
246
That's what you do with shallan vials.
247
I'm gonna do the same with this.
248
Wow they're very doughy, really thick.
249
There's no soup in that one.
250
Let's get a dip in the vinegar.
251
That's the meat inside.
252
I think it's pork.
253
Ah I love them.
254
I love that vinegar, that really sour taste.
255
Right let's go for...
256
These are so hard to pick up with chopsticks because they're so wide throughout stretching my hand.
257
It's much easier on my fingers.
258
Let's go for the chilli oil now.
259
This could be dangerous without a minute of chilli.
260
Oh yeah.
261
Back in the vinegar.
262
An absolute flavour bomb.
263
The pork inside is really soft.
264
I've actually had something similar to these in Taiwan and there was
265
so much more soup inside these ones are a little bit
266
dry actually even though the meat inside is moist these are supposed to like filled with soup
267
and you're definitely supposed to have soup pouring out of it as you bite through them
268
so the taste is spot on absolutely amazing really big fan
269
but I'm gonna rate them from 8 out of 10 because I do believe it should have more soup inside.
270
Look at all these desserts, they must be sweet.
271
Wow.
272
Rice dishes.
273
This is in like bamboo.
274
Noodles.
275
It's like tofu I think in this one.
276
Looks like gyoza but I'm sure it's a Chinese version.
277
More noodles in here.
278
And then back on the street.
279
This is nice.
280
We've got a full sort of like day market all the way along
281
this street look serving beer here cocktails fried meat I'm in the mood for a drink now
282
so let's keep on walking up here and try and find
283
a Chinese drink something
284
that I've not tried before I'm sure
285
it won't be too difficult to find something this one's got frozen lemon tea
286
and ice cream black tea hong kong milk one of my favorite drinks
287
when i was in taiwan was taiwanese something in my eye taiwanese milk tea i wonder
288
if you can find
289
that here i'm sure
290
you can this has got beer for sale over here look german wheat beer
291
that's three pounds 30 yuan for 500 ml flavored beer fruit juice
292
i've had all of those before i want something more exotic
293
this stall here looks pretty busy
294
we've got a few customers lin lear what is being sold some like frozen lemonades maybe
295
so usually when there's a qr code you just scan the qr code
296
and then you get the menu
297
so that's what i'm gonna do now right i've scanned we chap
298
and it says 55 meters away so this must be at here lin lee slight location
299
This is on WeChat, so I've got no translation unfortunately.
300
So I'm more of a guess.
301
Let's go for that one.
302
Lime...
303
Lime.
304
Probably big or small.
305
Let's just go for that.
306
Oh, it's good, no?
307
Order.
308
Done, I paid.
309
I should get a QR code now.
310
What's amazing about that is that they've literally taken away all the communication between the customer
311
and the worker nobody speaks to the workers all they're looking at is a screen the orders are coming through
312
and they're just making the drinks
313
so I've got a number here two T double zero nine three
314
and I can see a little chef emoji here so
315
that must mean it's getting made and then
316
when it probably moves across the bag emoji
317
which means it's ready to be collected and you can sit here and enjoy that's where I'm gonna sit right
318
there so sir okay right here we go with the Lin Lee juice
319
oh that's lovely not sweet at all very very limey maybe it's tea there's it's light lemon tea.
320
It says on the, on here in English.
321
Len Lee is a brand that focuses on providing refreshing and light lemon tea.
322
We insist it must be pounding.
323
Only freshness, no ice free, no colouring.
324
Quite a strong tea flavour actually with a little hint of lemon.
325
There's very little sugar in there which is surprising.
326
Usually these drinks in Asia are full of sugar syrup.
327
That's nice and refreshing.
328
Score that one.
329
7 .5 out of 10.
330
There's many things I like about China so far but maybe the best is this.
331
Bins everywhere unlike their neighbouring countries.
332
Tremendous.
333
Honestly, when travelling to Japan and Taiwan and you have a drink like that, you cannot get rid of it.
334
You literally have to take it back to your hotel or your apartment.
335
It is so annoying but there's bins everywhere so far in Shanghai.
336
I'm now in the mood for something sweet.
337
I see someone holding, this lady's holding like an Esky or something for 2 Yuan.
338
Ni hao?
339
Ha.
340
Jiga?
341
Ha.
342
ice cream okay alipay this is alipay or uh wechat wechat okay sorry i'm very slow pay services
343
money help me
344
Money, money, there we go.
345
No, no, no. You do Alipay.
346
Alipay, Alipay, Alipay.
347
Okay, Alipay, there we go.
348
Okay, good.
349
Two?
350
Okay.
351
Done.
352
Instant pay.
353
Okay, done.
354
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
355
That's it.
356
That's it.
357
Oh my god, it took so long.
358
I'm definitely an Alipay fan over a WeChat fan.
359
WeChat, I haven't quite worked out the interface, but we've got an ice cream here.
360
That's how, well I was supposed to say that's how easy it is
361
but that actually took me way longer than it should to get this popsicle.
362
Little ice cream.
363
Right here we go.
364
Got it open.
365
On a little stick here.
366
Let's give that a go.
367
Oh.
368
Wow.
369
It's so cold.
370
It's like burning my teeth. But it's good.
371
I think it's like coconut flavour.
372
mmm that's like 20 pence so there are street vendors roaming the streets but most of this area definitely established shops
373
a little bit of sweet, pretty good, let's go on this one 7 out of 10, let's keep on moving
374
something else I've realised is the importance of having charge
375
or battery on your mobile phone because
376
if your phone dies you are absolutely screwed you cannot do anything
377
you can't pay for a single thing in this country so there's a solution for that of course there's a solution
378
you can rent power banks through this app called myai tuan right
379
so all you gotta do let's just do one right
380
now in english it says you pay the deposit you scan to rent
381
and then you can return any tight and these
382
return boxes are everywhere literally every single shop has them even like small noodle shops
383
and all the convenience stores etc so i'm going to go on to alipay here and we're going to scan
384
this qr code up here
385
all right that's in chinese so you can hit the translate button
386
that's going to be yes isn't it usually your location yes so that is four pounds
387
for 60 minutes or returned free within the first three minutes click to log in without deposit.
388
I use my phone number so I do think I can return it within three minutes and get it for free.
389
Nah it's not working.
390
It's so annoying.
391
Anyway you get the idea.
392
A power bank pops out of here they've got all three cables so like iPhone, USB -C and also
393
Android and then you can charge your phone you pay that money
394
and then you drop it anywhere in the entire country unfortunately I cannot get one for some reason it's failing
395
but it really matters when I've got the camera rolling
396
but I thought it was pretty cool so I was wondering what people do
397
when their phones are dead
398
but that's the solution let's pretend I rented a power bank just across the road
399
there I've charged my phone I want to return
400
it in location all you got to do is find a store
401
and look you can pop it straight back into here
402
that's the company obviously this is energy monster this must be a competitor and then
403
see all those are full oh no they're full i need to find another one i need to walk
404
so far no you don't because every single place has one look the watermelon seller
405
that looks good by the way he has one look you just pop it in here
406
and then you can return it and keep on going with your day
407
look over there within 30 seconds you can get three places to pop
408
it back in unreal look at the bike culture it's absolutely insane
409
you can rent these very very easily by scanning the QR code of course just here.
410
Everybody waits patiently at the lights on the blue and yellow bikes.
411
Nobody's wearing a helmet on the bicycles but they are wearing helmets on the electric scooters.
412
These are electric scooters not the same as what I've seen previously in other countries.
413
Very very quiet.
414
But I might get one of these but first I need some more food.
415
I'm still pretty hungry
416
so i'm hunting for some noodles right now hopefully
417
i can find some just up here this might do instead what's
418
this looks like some scallion pancakes six five wow that's cheap that's like 60 pence
419
or something this girl's frying like sausages here right
420
so you can add sausage for three add an egg for two 20 pence for an egg
421
you know jigger this one so chicken
422
okay fry the chicken into the pancake all right that gets slapped on got some other toppings here this looks like cilantro,
423
some chilli oil
424
then we've got massive things like corn in this one
425
and then obviously the option for Ali Pay or WeChat on the wall here okay eggs good
426
No thank you.
427
Just one.
428
Okay, Jigga.
429
Jigga.
430
Jigga.
431
Mayonnaise, ketchup.
432
Okay.
433
Alipay.
434
Over here.
435
Get it scanned.
436
and let her put the price in.
437
Nine.
438
Okay.
439
Instant pay.
440
Okay.
441
Just payment processing.
442
Done.
443
Easy as that.
444
Just that.
445
Oh, that is absolutely roasting hot.
446
Okay.
447
Let's go over there to give us a taste.
448
Right, here we go on the side of the street with what I believe is a scallion pancake.
449
Had these a few times in Taipei in Taiwan and they were mind -blowingly good.
450
Let's see if the Chinese version lives up to my very high expectations.
451
Chicken inside, mayonnaise, ketchup, could be an odd combination.
452
Let's give it a go.
453
Oh, so hot.
454
It's tasty.
455
The mayonnaise is a little bit weird with this flaky pancake to be honest.
456
I wouldn't have minded like a chilli sauce or something spicy instead.
457
The chicken is also like really on the cheap side.
458
I know it's only 9 yuan which is like just over a dollar, about 90 pence but it's pretty good, pretty good.
459
But the ones in Taiwan were slightly better.
460
The pancakes is nice but I was actually really surprised it was frozen and she threw it onto the skillet there previously.
461
They'd been rolled fresh and I can sort of tell the difference.
462
It isn't quite as crispy and as flaky.
463
I'm just going to one here in Shanghai a 5 .5 out of 10.
464
Okay I think it's now time to rent a bike.
465
I found a few here so let's go see how easy it is.
466
I've got the app already and I've already put my passport information you need to do
467
that basically every single time you do anything here in China
468
you need to put your passport you just scan your passport
469
so they're collecting your details at all times
470
and they probably know exactly where you are
471
but I'm going to scan the code to ride
472
and I'm just going to take that one right here and
473
that is it it's unlocked
474
and as you can see I'm four seconds into the journey I have no idea how much this costs
475
but I'm putting my phone away and let's get going.
476
Oh, there we go.
477
And the Hanty cycle on the right here.
478
And you must abide by the traffic laws, so if there's a red light, you must stop at the red light.
479
So, there's a red light coming up here.
480
But this is pretty comfortable.
481
I'll just stop here.
482
Hopefully there's no, like, one -way streets or anything, because I'm absolutely screwed.
483
There's these electric bike just zooming past so fast.
484
So you need to be careful.
485
I'm gonna go straight through, looks a bit quiet up that road just there.
486
Here we go.
487
That's how you do it boys.
488
Oh my god, it's these, holy sh, holy sh, oh my god they're all zoom, They're all like zooming right and left to me.
489
Maybe I should stay on the right.
490
I'm going on the right.
491
And let all the electric scooters overtake me.
492
Right, first street has been navigated.
493
Oh, I'm back to where I was.
494
This is coming up to Yuan Yuan Gardens.
495
Up here.
496
That's a great way to see the city.
497
Oh, God.
498
I went to the gym yesterday in Shanghai
499
and my legs are already very very painful this is not good for them oh my god look
500
and then you've got the people crossing the road on the green light
501
and now I'm gonna nip into this bike lane where the bus is
502
and then the bike lane runs out there's a big no cycling sign over there but I'm just gonna follow these guys.
503
That's no ideal is it?
504
I can't even pedal.
505
I'm now on the pavement which is not good.
506
Oh no!
507
This is actually chaos look all these bikes and then so close to the bus look.
508
I want to get down to the Bund.
509
I think the Bund is straight on because it's nearly sunset and the lights will be coming out.
510
Okay, we found a little cycle path here, so we're back on the main road.
511
But really, this is pretty dangerous with no helmet because these buses are zooming past.
512
This is a green light, so I can crack on there.
513
But so many people are on these bikes.
514
They must be very, very affordable.
515
Oh, there's a nice park I could check out.
516
To my right -hand side.
517
Oh. And there she is!
518
The Shanghai Tower!
519
Oh there's a few street food vendors here.
520
Let's check these out.
521
Could be dumping this bike now.
522
I wonder if you can just dump it anywhere.
523
I'm not 100 % sure.
524
Right I need to get across here.
525
And there's a place to dump the bikes over there.
526
Oh no, over here.
527
There's a place over here.
528
excuse me right i'll just throw it into here so many bikes man perfect oh good bit of maneuvering
529
right now you get your phone out and give it a scan and see how much that cost me.
530
Return. And that locks it.
531
1 .5.
532
I presume that is pay.
533
1 .09.
534
I've got a discount.
535
99. That cost me 10 pence.
536
If other countries are watching this, that is the way to do it.
537
So affordable, man.
538
Oh, my God.
539
I got a coupon code for minus 1 .08 so that's costing me 0 .01 pay
540
it's all in Chinese
541
but I think that's gonna work probably takes me to Alipay
542
I know we've got a big cross on the screen that's not a good sign you can't
543
if you pay by one of the Chinese banks you get the discount
544
but I'm gonna have to suck it up and pay 1 .09
545
which is less than 11 pence I'll put on the screen Alipay.
546
Yeah there we go look.
547
Instant pay, 109.
548
That is so good.
549
I know I only went a few minutes up the road
550
but I bet you that's so cheap anyway if you want to go further afield because everybody's using them.
551
Looks like they're selling sausages and water.
552
I'll over.
553
Oh well deserved bottle of water after an exhausting and stressful cycle ride.
554
Check this out, a little home gym.
555
Look at this.
556
Not a home gym, a park gym.
557
This looks proper though.
558
We've got actual like weights, look.
559
We've got weights on the machines so you can actually adjust it, look.
560
And if you don't want the weight you can flick it up here.
561
That goes in there, slides through there and that is the weight not on the machine.
562
That's awesome.
563
Right let's have a drink of this water and then check out some of this equipment.
564
It's not the best view in the world to have a bottle of water.
565
Right we've got maximum weight on this so this is very embarrassing if I can't push this up.
566
oh we can do it boys head back here that is actually pretty decent
567
and then if you want to take some off all you got to do is yeah look slide that up here
568
so these are five kilograms each sorry these are 50 50 kilograms each
569
so i was actually doing 200 there no they're five
570
so this should be lighter because i've slid two of those up
571
and it is look at that you can actually come here and do a half decent workout
572
this looks like a squat rack over here like you're down like that no you know how to do this Like that?
573
Oh, you put the things there.
574
Oh, that is sore on my legs.
575
There we go.
576
Bit easy, but...
577
It's the correct movement.
578
Oh!
579
We've got more street food vendors over here.
580
Look at this.
581
How many?
582
How many?
583
Okay, yeah.
584
Oh, I get to taste one.
585
Oh, that banger.
586
oh no one kilo
587
no you speak some english less 100 grams 100 gram
588
or like uh okay how much is
589
that 25 sorry okay uh okay fine okay okay 25 half kilo half kilo
590
25 okay that's enough 35 okay less less too much too many sorry
591

592
Thank you.
593
Alaype.
594
Okay.
595
How much?
596
Setya.
597
30. 30?
598
Okay.
599
Sounds quite expensive but...
600
Thank you. That is way overpriced.
601
It's like 3 quid for some cherries.
602
To be fair cherries can be quite expensive but...
603
I think she took me for a ride there.
604
Let's go munch these in a very nice park.
605
That guy's got a good job just wheeling around on that doing the park patrol.
606
Tents and awnings are prohibited on the lawn
607
but this is a nice park look very clean peaceful no shenanigans going on
608
let's go sit on one of these rocks I think.
609
Got enough cherries to last me a week potentially in the best spot to eat a cherry in the entire city.
610
Mmm.
611
That's so good.
612
Absolutely massive.
613
Way bigger than usual. So juicy inside.
614
Overall, it's been a cracking day exploring Shanghai.
615
But actually, she was the first person I spoke to today that actually had a little bit of English.
616
Honestly, there's so little English spoken in this city.
617
This is one of the most well -known cities
618
or most touristy cities in the whole country so
619
when I go to lesser touristy cities
620
it's going to get a little bit a little bit harder for me I think
621
so I definitely need to brush up on the old Chinese get the old Duolingo out
622
but yeah looking forward to it I'm going to go to some interesting spots
623
so if you're interested in that content make sure you subscribe
624
so you don't miss out because I've got a lot of good stuff coming up on the YouTube channel.
625
I'm scoring these cherries though 8 out of 10.
626
Let me know down below it's £3 a good price for half a kilo of cherries.
627
I don't know.
628
And we're back where the video started.
629
This is the Bond considerably busier than earlier but what a skyline especially in this lighting wow.
630
That was actually so much nicer than before.
631
Before it was a little bit bright but now it's like golden hour
632
that is honestly mad when i was up
633
that shanghai tower those buildings like all of those ones there like one two three four five six they were so small
634
even the tv tower but look at those they're massive just shows how high
635
that shanghai tower actually is this is the perfect time to jump on a little little river cruise
636
this is the taxi that got earlier the yellow and white boat
637
the back section absolutely packed
638
and there we have it one of the most iconic skylines in the world at night
639
i think there's no better place to end the video than where i started it
640
that was definitely worth it i hope you enjoyed
641

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
