Here are the 10 things thats we love about living in China - Thanks for sticking with me 😎 To Check out My solo trip to Sanya: th-cam.com/video/fOYDXdTXvlY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SoSab
You are very lucky that you are living in China. I live in the country side of America and my mind was still thinking that China didn’t have a toilet like us in USA. But when I went to China I have no idea how to use their toilet with a control. I feel so embarrassed because my mind was still stuck in the 1970. Sometimes, we need to go out side a country where we are living so we know the world is so beautiful out there.
Yes, it is important to explore the world and understand how others culture are different than others. I makes us better global citizens :) Thanks for sharing your anecdote with us!
Me too wish I could move to China so much safer than US. Living in US is suffering depressing every day news drive by shooting mass murdering across US and keep happening and police in US are a criminal organization gangster.
China is a very rich country. Just the trade surplus for 2022 was US 877 billion dollars! That's bigger than the GDP of many European countries. E. g Norway - US 541 billion, Belgium - US 614 billion, Switzerland - US 632 billion, Finland - US 281.4 billion, Portugal - US 255.85 billion Denmark - US 348 billion, Sweden - US 573 billion and more...
Furthermore, the trade surplus for China 2022 is bigger than the total exports for 4 members of G7 countries. UK - US $874 billion (2021) Canada - US$631 billion (2022) Italy - US $611 billion (2021) France - US $584 billion (2021) Also China's trade surplus (2022) is almost twice the size of India's total exports US $444 billion, and more than twice the total exports for Australia US $415.6 billion.
when there is no propaganda, it’s always good to share experiences, life it’s too short to exaggerate or to state things are not true, like the western media always does
Thank you for sharing videos, really need to take a longer time to understand Chinese culture and things, nowadays too many biased mainstreamed media only concern for political purpose, we need more videos of real life China and let people have a broader views
I left China after living there for 7 years in Sept 22. Things you are mentioning are true but I feel they barely scratch the surface of life in China. Would love to see a part 2.
That's very true haha .There is more to say about it for sure and I had to start somewhere. I hope this format will be the beginning of a series of multiple videos about it.
Another piece of advice for people planning long-term staying in China, try to be less individualistic and everything will be clearer and easier to understand about their culture and society.
When you live in a big city that's very true. And when you want to go on a road trip, renting a car or a personal driver is so affordable compare to other countries.
OMG, you gals are totally spoiled! I am super envious of everything you experienced. Please, please let me know how easy it is to travel to Shanghai. I can't wait to get some hints from you both on how to get there.
Besides the CCTV, living standards is also important. When people have enough money to spend on minimum basic necessities, less people will resort to stealing or robbing.
Thank you for sharing your life and experience in Shanghai, the magacity where i was born, it was fascinating to hear its remarkable progress and convenience and enjoyment, Life in US is killing me. Can’t wait to visit Shanghai and other places in China again. ❤❤❤
Best way to travel the whole world is India, China, New Zealand and Africa (I know it's naive) you can't miss any gorgeous landscapes if you travel these places and will be worth remembering and take short trip to the pole if you want to get cold to the pole from NZ.
@@SoSab Tourist Places all over the world has traps even so-called developed countries Just be prepared how to avoid the scams. All the best for your journeys ahead.
love ur video - good stuff! Im excited about going there soon. But, for someone with no Chinese ID card/Chinese mobile number/Chinese bank account, how to make Wechat-Pay work? I know Gmail is banned? How about yahoo email (without using VPN, that is)? Will you try it out for me pls? THANK YOU :)
Firstly apply for an ID card for foreigner. With this card you can open a bank account, of course you will get a bank card, too. Then register it in WeChat and alipay. Actually with passport you can also open a bank account,but with I'd card is much easier.
Foreigners use their passport when it comes to opening CN mobile number, CN bank account etc... Nowdays though I think you also need a work visa now to justify opening a bank account though.
Unless you use a VPN it is impossible to access those in China. Though not all VPN works in China, Astrill and express VPN are the ones most expat uses. There are also Chinese VPN apps but I don’t know how to find those 🤷🏻♀️
I want to see some reviews of life in China from some old people. Obviously , young people are easily impressed!...everything is new and exciting! Who cares if 4000 camaras are watching and recording my every move!....lol
Thanks for the suggestion, I used the wrong setting when recording and tried to color grade but I guess it’s a work in progress 😅 I did use one on my next video, feel free to check it out and let me know thoughts 😉
The Chinese (Hua-Xia) Civilization is made up of 56 Ethnic Tribes with Han's being the majority. The Yue Tribe down South is the ancestor of Vietnamese; while the Tai Tribe is the ancestor of Thai. If you wanna go to China, leave all your stereotypes & Western ways behind. Learn Mandarin-Chinese, embrace the culture, respect the locals, and you will be welcomed. The worst is going there thinking China should be like the West and expect the locals to understand English, you're gonna have a really hard time there.
As a Chinese, love to hear so many kind words about China. But I have to mention that it‘s harder for us to find a decent job in Shanghai right now. Perhaps reasons are more related to peer competence and narrow occupations. For this reason, I decide to stay in Hong Kong for several years. By the way, my hometown is a small city of Zhejiang province, called Wenzhou, maybe you could travel there one day to try the seafood.❤❤❤
foreigner living is china is great as you don't need or care to mess with the politics as you are no Chinese... not reallyt care where the country will go.. and you have the protection of your own country.
hmmm...sounds like your smartphone getting stolen is a bit of an anomaly but i would say this level of safety found not just in china but also in other asian countries has to do with more than just cctv surveillance everywhere because not all asian countries have cctv everywhere. i would say that the asian mentality which extends to the whole asian continent (developing and wealthy asian countries alike) is just different to all the other continents in a good way.
I'm not pretty sure about other countries in Asia. I live in both China and Europe. In Europe the Netherlands is the only country to give me enough confidence to walk in the street after drinking at midnight like China. All the other European countries are worse in safety. Thus I understand her particular feeling of safety in China if she haven't been to other Asian countries like me.
My theory is that she/he pulled the cable out of my jacket’s pocket and took when it was crowded around me. Back in 2015 there weren’t as many camera around and thankfully my phone has an insurance in case of robbery 😅
China is not a country of immigration, and dual nationality is not allowed. If you really like China, you can first obtain Hong Kong and Taiwan nationality
You are lucky to be a foreigner living in China. Those surveillance cameras are helpless mostly to local people whose phones or purses got stolen. We have a saying like "no small matters when dealing with foreigners".
There are loads of happy clappers and women with lesbian tendencies - be careful making videos in Shanghai as the police will want to interview youtubers
Police in China (including Shanghai) are way too soft to those who demonize China. For instance the so-called reporter from DW (Deutsch Welle) in Henan Province flooding in 2021.

Great video! I live in China too 😊
Enjoy there👍
@@自由之光-t2p Thank you 🙏
the difference and diversity of Chinese culture, you mentioned, can be understood when you realize China is 2.3 times of EU in terms of size.
That is so true :) I think the big misconception about China is that we don't realize how truly diverse it is.
Another reason is that there are 56 nationalities in China, and different nationalities have different cultural differences.
@@八皓阳 ethnicities, not nationalities.

Another piece of advice for people planning long-term staying in China, try to be less individualistic and everything will be clearer and easier to understand about their culture and society.
100%! It applies to all countries I think in the end. From the moment their culture is different than yours.
Every time I visited china I wonder why would anyone need to buy personal car with the great, available, and cheap public transportation.
When you live in a big city that's very true. And when you want to go on a road trip, renting a car or a personal driver is so affordable compare to other countries.
@@SoSab 私家车事关我的社会地位，可以不用但不能没有。
