Things that you can do here in China,
but you cannot do in the US.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
Why did I just open a can of beer like that?
Well, what you have just
witnessed there is a crime.
If this was America,
what I've just done now is a crime.
Can you believe it?
And if you open an alcoholic beverage, just open,
I've not even had a sip of it, that is a crime.
It's against the law.
The police would probably come over, shoot me,
tackle me, arrest me just for opening
it and not even having a sip.
But in China, look, there's police behind me here,
no problem, don't even worry about it.
But it would be a completely
different story if this was America.
So anyway, cheers to China.
I decided to get an American beer
just because it's even more ironic.
They call themselves the land of the free.
How can they be the land of the free if their
citizens cannot even just come and sit down in a
public place like this and have a little beer.
How are you the land of the free
if you cannot even do that?
China is the true land of the free.
So, here's to China. Cheers.
America, what a joke.
You can't walk around with a beer,
but don't you worry, you can carry
a deadly weapon, a gun, an assault rifle.
Don't even worry about it, just carry it.
You can either conceal it underneath your clothes,
or you can openly just carry
it on your belt like a cowboy.
It's like the Wild West in America.
You can't make it up.
Next thing that you can do in China,
which you can't do in the US,
is be Asian, be Chinese,
or be a minority and freely walk around and not
face discrimination or prejudice on a daily basis.
In America, if you walk around and you're
black, Asian, Latino, you'll
most likely get attacked by some thugs or gangs or
even worse, you get attacked and arrested by the
police just because of your minority, your race.
But here in China, as a foreigner,
myself as a foreigner, as a minority here,
I get treated with nothing but friendliness,
hospitality, respect.
And I've lived here for more than 10 years.
I'm a minority in this country.
It's just...you can't even compare.
You can't even compare.
You can come to beautiful parks like this one.
If this was the US,
it'd just be teeming with homeless people
and tents everywhere
just disrupting the place and causing chaos and
annoying the people who come and visit this park.
But look at this place.
Oh, my God. Look at all these lilies.
Nice family day out.
Enjoy Kunming's beautiful weather.
Take a little stroll around.
Instead of gangs and thugs and homeless people
in China, you have groups of beautiful Ayi's
practicing their dances and preparing.
Probably they're preparing for some performance.
Look at this clock tower.
Looks like something out of a fairytale.
I know that I'm awake,
but I feel like I'm in a dream.
Lincoln, what are you doing?
What are you doing? There was a monkey?
Monkey, climb tree.
There was a monkey in the tree?
Oh there was a monkey in the bamboo tree.
There was a monkey?
A what? a monkey?
Oh, my God.
Look at the size of this tree.
I don't know if you can see
the scale of that on the camera.
That is massive.
If anyone knows what kind of tree that is.
Let me know in the comments below.
Must be so old.
Not only no tents or homeless people
or delinquents lying around, but no rubbish.
I don't know if any of you have spotted.
I've not even seen one single piece of trash this
whole time that I've been walking around the park.
It's really tidy and well kept.
Eyes. Where's the cat's eyes?
Eyes, where's the ears?
Where's the ears?
Ear
Nose?
Nose.
Mouth?
Mouth.
Where's its ears?
Ears.
Where's it's hands?
Oh, it doesn't have hands?
Oh, no hands?
Oh, my god.
Look at the size of this grandpa's camera.
I don't know what he's...
I'm not sure what he's taking a picture of.
We've got some super long lens.
What are you photographing?
Birds, flowers.
Oh birds and flowers.
He's taking pictures of the birds.
I see them over there.
I guess they're quite far away.
That's why you need the one meter long lense.
Got grandmas and grandpas working out,
staying healthy, keeping fit,
shirtless, handsome grandpas,
making sure they're healthy and flexible.
You really don't have to even
think about your safety.
It doesn't even come in your mind even.
That's how safe it is.
You can just truly relax and take in the park
and this peacefulness and tranquility.
That brings me on to my next point,
safety/freedom here in China.
You don't even have to think about it.
When I walk down the street day or night,
I don't have to look over my shoulder and think
about someone's going to rob me,
stab me, gun me down.
But in America, especially if you are a minority,
if you're Asian or something besides white, right?
In America, you're constantly going
to be looking over your shoulder.
It's the same in Europe, in the UK at night,
especially at night, you're always just worried
about some gangs or someone
might stab you, shoot you.
It's incredibly dangerous if you walk down
the wrong street, you know, you don't, you,
maybe you don't know the area,
but you walk down the wrong street,
you might end up, you might end up dead.
But in China, it's just not like that.
You can just walk down, walk anywhere.
Look, just walking down some random,
some random alleyway.
Do I need to care?
Do I need to, do I need to look over my shoulder?
If someone, is anyone behind me?
No, you don't have to worry about it.
Now that is freedom.
If you can do that, that's freedom.
Next point is to have access to cheap,
affordable public transport,
like the city bikes, the buses, the metro.
You can literally get on the metro,
zip across the city for like 4 RMB.
I mean, it's so inexpensive.
But compared to the US, I mean, firstly,
their public transport system
is basically non existent.
Their metro, their subways just awful.
Not only that, but then it's expensive as well.
You cannot even compare.
I've travelled across so many provinces in China,
and so many cities and all of them that I've been
to, they have a developed public transport system,
and their metro is just crazy.
It's like something out of the future.
I've shown most of you on the videos.
Okay, so that was just a few points,
a few things that you can do in China
that you can't do in America.
It's all love, baby, love.
Must be love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
Lincoln say, Signing off.
Signing off.
Lincoln say I love you.
Signing off from the lovely streets of Kunming.
I'll see you in the next one.
Signing off.
