In honor of Chinese New Years, I recalled back to memories of my last trip to China in early 2011. It was one of my most daring backpacking trips in my life to say the least. I decided to start in the top left corner of China near the “stan” countries and just train my way back to Hong Kong. Did I mention I don’t speak Mandarin. I went from bagless to homeless to underwearless in the first week. But with those struggles, I met some cool locals. Also on my trip, I met up with one of my childhood buddies and toured Tibet and a few cities like Chengdu and Chongqing. We did so much karaoking that we decided we had to make our own karaoke video about why we love China so much. So I am embarrassed to say, here’s my singing debut. Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone!!!
Funny stuff Anson! Great shots of China!
i must say, that was great.
Looks like Anderson’s going to get a run for his karaoke money.
nice footages. did you guys planned the shoot beforehand or just ADR the singing portions?
thanks! it was a 2day train ride into tibet. so thats when we came up with the idea and started to plan out which lines we would try to film at what locations. we sang them for reals but also just sang it again afterwards w the help of reverb and all that good magic. still didn’t make me sound that great though.
i love the video! =)
