China made me miserable? 🇨🇳
I decided that it's time to share this part of the story with you. | Get MY BOOK 'I lived in Shanghai' on Amazon! https://amzn.to/3pLoeQ4 | Moving to China and living in Shanghai as a foreigner was not easy for me. Expat life is far from perfect & I experienced many difficulties, that I wanted to share with you.
When I first moved to China, cultural shook and the language barrier were very much real. I struggled with many things like the traffic, food, large crowds, always being labeled as 'the foreigner'. It really took me a while to get used to life in China as a foreigner, and in this video I wanted to share what I did not like about living in China at the beginning, what was difficult for me and how I slowly adapted to life in China.
If you decided to read my book PLEASE leave an Amazon review! It would help me out a lot! :) https://amzn.to/3pLoeQ4
