Are Mail Order Asian Brides a good idea?

Are Mail Order Asian Brides a good idea?

It's a rather unfortunate term and industry, but the idea of these websites and services that allow you to browse a catalogue and choose someone to try and start a relationship with are becoming more and more common, we agree that it's probably a bad idea to get mixed up in all t...

Wow, today's ADVChina release was a rather heavy one! But it's not always doom and gloom, in fact how about a ridiculous video of C-milk and I admittedly many beers in, trying out a deathtrap roller coaster at an almost abandoned and ridiculous amusement park in Vietnam!&...

Early release

Friday dawns upon us and your ADVChina early release this week is a fun one even if the topic may seem a bit dry, we had fun walking around an area of Hong Kong talking about what happens to old people in China as the system in China is very different to what you may expect:

Good evening! I know this is a late post (I usually post the early access to Monday's ADV on Friday), but never late than never! At the very least you'll be able to get the jump and watch it tomorrow morning over a coffee before anyone else gets to :)

I also tried a Carolina Reaper

So I helped C-milk and Vivi film their latest video wherein they try eating the hottest Chili pepper in the world, so naturally I needed to give it a try too, I thought I'd do it as an Patreon exclusive video, enjoy the suffering!

Ever wanted to punch a clown?

I know it's a ridiculous concept, but "two cheats hit the clown" has been a running joke around the ADVChina office (which is basically just c-milk and myself) but every time we get accused of something ridiculous, our retort is "two cheats hit the clown!", this ...

Studying in the middle of the road?

This is something that really made a big impression on me, way back in 2014 I was in Hong Kong and I visited the main protest areas to observe this historic event. You see what was happening is that people would still go to work etc and then join the protests after hours ...

Surviving a Snakebite, Lions and Tribal Execution!

Hey there guys, I have something exciting to share with you, as you all know my parents recently visited me and although they have already returned to South Africa, I was able to get my father to sit down and record some of his African Adventures with me on camera. View Post

It's an exciting day for me today but before I tell you why, let's get this week's early access video out of the way. In this week's early access we have a little bit of a rant about why we feel it's okay to judge a place through our own perspectives, I think it'...

So we're finally doing it!

For a very long time I've been discussing the idea of a live show / podcast with C-milk, it's a very challenging and tough thing to pull off correctly. I don't like to do things in halves and so I've been building a powerful enough computer to do it, repurposed our old cameras (s...

It's tough, but someone has to talk about it!

I honestly don't like having to talk about what's going on in Africa as far as China is concerned, I myself have a big love/hate relationship with Africa (mainly the latter to be honest). I don't ever want to live in Africa again, but I do understand Africa very well View Post

That may be a funny thing to say, but every time I travel out of the big cities in China I feel as if I've travelled back in time 20 years. I recently visited Shaoguan with my wife, it's a  prefecture-level city in northern Guangdong Province and it is literally like time-tr...
