It feels like the American news cycle has devoted a tremendous amount of time and money to convincing me that China should be feared and distrusted, despite only having ever given me 5 or 6 credible facts about the place. This youtube channel is entirely the product of one Chinese woman running around with a tiny video camera showing you as much of the country as she can on what is clearly an ungenerous budget. I think she is delightful, and I admire her ability to embrace any situation she is presented with. There is absolutely no glamorous editing or witty asides, and she almost always takes busses to get anywhere. Frequently she reaches regions where despite her research the dialects are totally beyond her. She usually includes some drone shots with royalty-free music and she is consistently impressed with the quality of roadside vegetable stands. It feels very genuine. She went back to her hometown last episode and showed me her favorite reservoir and her dad, who immediately told her to get a job in Shanghai and who she immediately lied to about having an interview lined up (subsequently admitting this to the camera). All in all I think she is a pretty unbeatable tour guide.
I have also been watching the Northernlion Dark Souls Randomizer, but that rec is for Gamer Girls™ Only.
