Been a fan of your content for ages, and getting to collab on a video feels like the crossover I never knew I needed! Super grateful to be a guest in this video and to show Papa around the cyber city of Chongqing, China. Such a fun experience! Come back anytime!

Chinese dude has all the facts, understands the strategy and he's also very descriptive and funny. His English is also perfect.
