Day 1 in China and I’m READY TO GET THE F*CKK ASAP OUTTA THIS SHIT
Naa I really struggled this day coz no one picked me up from the airport all the way to my school which is like 7 hours away by night train and I had to find my way and plus the locals were doing this all the way through 😭 BUT WE MADE IT!!!
However even tho it’s annoying and lowkey invasive at times I don’t think they do it from a place of malice but genuine intrigue because with a country over 2 Bil some aren’t exposed.
But some lady at Beijing Railway train who I was sitting next to rubbed my hand tryna see if the black would come off.. so I gave her those puzzled but irritated looks and she started giggling to her husband :/ had it not been for the big ass bag I woulda got my shit and left😭
If you seeing this and thinking you not moving here or visiting here because if that, then you’ll miss out on A LOT of what China has to offer. Take the good with the bad and enjoy 😭 you’d rather be called a nigga/black in a language you can’t understand ( or handsome 🤣)
Day 2 in China : Me and my country mate just chilling after we went shopping, this is like the second or third person to touch her braids. Translation of what she said was “it’s not snakes” she fed tf up🤣
Day 3 in China. He came and asked for a photo during a walk to the mall ( I guess he did ) and then I asked for one🤣
Day 3 continued. Y’all I got given a baby to hold while he snapped me and his infant child 🤣Baby cute asf tho
Day 4 in China: I MADE CHINESE FRIENDS, like actual friends who are all junior doctors in my sister school. they are giving me a tour of the city within the week and we friends on WeChat. Slight communication challenge but Google translator works 🤣China can be very rewarding !!
Day 7 in China: It really be the ones trying to sneak pics who really annoy me. Like just ask
