Young China Young China

Yes, it's HUGE. But not just in the way you think. Almost deep as it is broad, there are 6 climate zones, 55 ethnicities, and dozens if not hundreds of different cultures. Artem and Lucien discuss how China's colossal scale informs everything here, from economic growth, population patterns, and even how local Chinese see themselves.Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)

Beijing and Shanghai are China’s two most famous and most important cities. One is the center of government, the other the center of modern commerce. One is steeped in history, the other is a glittering tribute to modernity. In this episode Lucien and Artem compare these two giants from the perspective of expats and locals to help you understand the unique vibes of each one.Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)

Lucien and Artem share their experience learning one of the hardest languages in the world from different angles: Artem learned like a scholar, whilst Lucien learned organically. Tones, dialects, Chinese characters, awkward situations, and many tips – in this episode, you’ll see how they speak in Chinese like locals!Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)

Just like every country in the world, China’s North and South have a huge cultural divide. Artem’s 9 years in South China and Lucien’s fondness for North China are on display here as we delve into the stereotypes of North and South as well as the food, climate and language differences.Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)

Artem and Lucien’s home countries, Russia and the UK, aren’t famous for their food (and Lucien has especially weird food habits). So it’s hard for them to understand why Chinese people love to eat. In this episode, they discuss Chinese food, how important it is, how many money is spent on it and why Chinese people really really love food!Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)

Ever fallen asleep at work and your boss actually encouraged you for it? Hear about Artem’s experience with Chinese afternoon nap culture, his time spent with rough and tumble factory workers and why Lucien gets woken up at 5am to the smell of frying garlic.Instagram:Artem @chinartemLucien @lucienldnPR in China http://gennow.cn/Product development and manufacturing in China https://uchina.biz/LaowaiMe brand https://laowai.me/Music: Howie Lee - 金蛇狂舞 (TRAP FLIP)
