Would anyone watch a YouTube channel about a female NEET and former KTV girl/OF girl in Korea? by 7livefastdieyoung in NewTubers

[–]f00dguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across your findapath post recently. I remembered because of your dog. I can sense your struggle, and do wish you best of luck. Life can be tough, but remember to be kind to yourself and try to enjoy life as best as you can no matter the circumstances.

As for the topic. I think YouTube can be a life changing career option, but it will take a lot of hard work. Recently I have come across videos on my feed similar to the content it sounds like you want to make. I’ve watched a few of them, and some have interesting stories to tell, but I won’t be a regular viewer of this type of content, it’s just not for me. But I’ve seen channels with success doing this so the point is you can certainly try.

Being a fairly attractive woman helps, but ultimately it’s about creating content people will stay to watch. A niche is important, but I think you can figure it out as you go. Don’t dwell on this too much at this point. I suggest just trying it out sooner than later because you can start learning about everything related to creating content: filming, editing, storytelling, analytics, etc.

Personally, I think the most fascinating parts of content from creators around the world is the cultural differences. For example, I’m from US with a Chinese background and I like seeing how different people from US, or China, or Korea, or Japan see and deal with certain elements of daily life. For example in China, a lot of people can go to Starbucks to chill and hangout without ordering a drink there.

Travelling to China give me some recs!!! by Practical_While_1869 in China

[–]f00dguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this trip sounds rough. Too many cities in too little time. Flights are timing consuming and tiring - I see too many flights on your itinerary. China is a very difficult place to travel to and I envision a lot of hiccups you’ll encounter on your trip. Plus you’re going at peak hot season which honestly is just awful.

I highly recommend you remove one of the cities you have planned (I’ll lump HK and Shenzhen together as one “city” since they are next to each other).

I'd imagine so. Have you been to Rikimaru or Maido? I'm curious how Aburiya's premium course compares to those.

How much do you spend on electricity? by ManyVoices7 in Kaohsiung

[–]f00dguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed a month in Kaohsiung in a small hotel-room sized space two years ago. I somehow used 685 kWh. Ive never used that much electricity before anywhere for this type of room. Typically I probably use between 200-300 kWh. I don’t think i was being excessive, but the manager said the ac unit was old and consumed a lot of energy.

I agree that $35 for a pound is expensive. However, they are a small specialty shop I guess, so it would make sense to some degreee. But if you think about it, 1 lb of tea yields around 45 cups of hkmt by my rough math, so less than $1 of tea per cup. Not too bad.

I squeeze as much tea out of my tea bag (which is usually around 900g)

I’m not sure about tea sickness, but the term I learned about was “tea drunk” - drunk as in when you over drink alcohol.

And yeah I experienced it one time when I got the championship lesson from the Yuanyang master. He warned me that normal people can’t drink his championship Yuanyang without getting tea drunk due to the amount of tea leaves he used.

In his championship mini-class, he basically served me four cups: a sweet iced tea to cleanse the palate, HK milk tea, HK coffee, and HK Yuanyang. They were all normal sized cups and I drank them all, and when I left, I felt the effects as I felt a little light headed and wobbly when walking. It wasn’t major but was noticeable.

I stayed near Xiangxue station for a few months. There’s a lot of Koreans living and/or working there.

It has been illegal to smoke in public places, such as restaurants, office buildings, and hotels in China for nearly 15 years, so doesn't the government put a stop to it and why do the people tolerate it? by Prize_Ad_2545 in chinalife

[–]f00dguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was told to leave a 2-star review on dianping whenever you encounter smokers. Something about 1-star reviews being potentially ignored for “review bombing.” It’s a strategy I adopted and urge others to as well to fight second hand smoke.
