00:01:57.120 It's good luck and rebirth.
00:01:58.700 Yeah, rebirth, because, like, it shuts the skin, so it's, like, rebirth.

00:02:44.780 Yo, it was good.
00:02:44.800 Yo, it was good.
00:02:44.820 I actually went to China in 2013.
00:03:01.600 To Changsha, I went to Xi'an, I went to Shanghai, I went to Beijing, Hong Kong.
00:03:06.180 I went all over.
00:03:07.160 I stayed at a school.
00:03:08.200 I know a lot about the culture.
00:03:09.400 I hiked across the Great Wall.
00:03:10.920 That was before the CCP really ramped up a lot of the drone spying and the QR codes to get in traffic.
00:03:17.600 But I was 15 on that trip, and you could definitely tell that these people were going to be really advanced.
00:03:22.520 Oh, my God, that's good.
00:03:29.900 I'm so excited.
00:03:30.140 See ya'r!
00:03:58.140 Sneeko!
00:04:00.140 They don't know who I am.
00:04:06.140 Everybody loves to talk about the advancements, the technology, deep-seek AI,
00:04:10.140 what China's doing to advance the world.
00:04:12.140 What I don't think it's talked about enough is how fun Chinese people are.
00:04:15.140 In a line with the thousand people doing Tai Chi, the way they eat food,
00:04:19.140 the quirky little trinkets, their holidays, that should be spoken about more.
00:04:28.140 Broad day fireworks is crazy.
00:04:34.140 You MC who?
00:04:54.140 I agree with everything you said.

00:05:09.140 He's just, you have a Chinese lady who's beaming over this black dude's Chinese
00:05:13.140 and some random Arab guy.

00:05:26.140 SLEEPING.
00:05:27.140 The minute of the video.
00:05:28.140 Hopefully they will get the same thing.
00:05:29.140 Instead of your friends looking at the same name as the house,
00:05:30.140 You have been betting on the other day off.
00:05:31.140 The month of the pandemic is just challenging.
00:05:32.140 How long has a book not been on Bibli had never been on
00:05:33.140 but yeah, right?
00:05:34.140 The two hundred years.
00:05:35.140 The month of last, the year of the stadium in the building,
00:05:36.140 you're one of your开始 pleasing.
00:05:37.140 We called peoples' ancestors and the pastors.
00:05:40.140 The five individuals who are back last days off the Highwaymen.
00:05:42.140 Music
00:05:55.040 Do you like for the bells?
00:06:25.040 Chinatown went through a lot during Covid, it was one of the neighborhoods that hit the
00:06:36.160 most.
00:06:37.160 How are you doing?
00:06:38.160 And it faced a lot of backlash and a lot of attacks, Chinese people specifically on the
00:06:42.320 trains.
00:06:43.320 Today feels like a celebration that all that's over.
00:06:55.040 What can you tell me about Chinese New Year that I don't know?
00:07:07.040 Chinese New Year is like a culture where people marry couples, get rent and flows to other
00:07:13.040 people, to the kids to celebrate Chinese New Year.
00:07:16.040 Now lying ahead that the mirror is to scare the evil spirits away from music, to scare
00:07:21.040 the evil spirits.
00:07:22.040 I don't see any evil spirits right now.
00:07:24.040 I think it's scary.
00:07:25.040 Woah!

00:09:54.460 Not just fitness wise, business wise,
00:09:56.500 but to really use this year to hone in on my craft
