Chinese foods have so much varieties, spicy foods are mainly the Sichuan & Hunan foods. Shanghai foods are sweeter, Beijing foods are saltier and Cantonese foods are more steamy and soupy.

Yeah. Be patient, and be nice. Chinese are mostly helpful, and sometimes too passionate, as long as they can understand what you want.

enjoy your time in China, thanks for teaching our students.

Kuai 块 is more of a colloquial slang term, it's kind of like saying "dollar" as value instead of as a currency. As a Chinese ethnic outside China, it's still commonly used across all dialects, which suggests that it might be a very old term used long before RMB was established as a currency. Also, the problem with Chinese traditional meds and treatments (for skpetical people) is that it's hard to scientifically measure effectiveness by Western medical/laboratory standards, but they are usually very effective for treating minor issues like stomach aches and early fever symptoms. Even when you're not sick, it's good to have some herbal-based food/drinks every once a while to "balance" your body (almost like supplements).

- Taobao can only be used by Chinese citizens, unless that changed now. - I would bring medication only for the first 3 months or so, you can get everything in China. Just show the pharmacist the package. Some of them are quite knowledgeable, sometimes they are actually doctors. - If you go to a cheap eating place, be prepared the cheapest unhealthy ingredients are used, cooking oil made from old oil etc.. - For non serious non urgent issues go to a local hospital. The treatment is a bit basic so don't be too sensitive, and the service is usually not friendly. But what they do is ok and very cheap. - Hair dressers are not then more expensive is the better. - If you have kids do not be shy to ask at local child cares around. Not all accept foreign kids but some do. My son was lost first but then learned fluent Chinese in weeks! - If you use taxi always have a navigation app open. That alone makes drivers using the correct way. - At all cost avoid accidents with locals, everywhere and at all times. Regardless who's fault it is you will be faulted, and they try everything to strip you off your money. It means months of very unpleasant quarrels should you object. Sometimes even the police lines up with the local, they receive a small share. - Serious crime is low but cheating and pick-pocketing is rampant. - Be prepared to see freak accidents on the road, which you would have never thought to be possible. Call the police, do not help yourself unless you need to for avoiding more serious things to happen. It is not rare the helper is later being blamed to be the culprit. If you help do ask your friend / partner to take pictures to have a prove of what you did. Sad, right?

all the ranks about the tiers of cities are not official, it's just a conception that widely accepted by the people, the authority didn't release any rank about city tiers, and being in a higher tier doesn't it a better city in every aspect.

Thanks a lot. Informative!

Good advice, particularly number 10. I like the spicy food though.

特别说明一点：除臭剂。只有不到2%的中国人有狐臭，所以除臭剂在中国很难买到，基本上只有在外国品牌的超市里有货（比如沃尔玛、Taget）。 Special note: Rexona.Less than 2 per cent of the Chinese population has body odor, so Rexonas are hard to find in China and are generally available only in foreign brand supermarkets (such as walmart and Taget).

This was really helpful, thank you for this video! 🙌

Nice video!

I'm really looking for like a lil close to the country side. I can just get a Uber if I want a night on the town town.

很棒的视频，希望你在国内一切顺利！

If you live in Jiangxi, it's not suprising that you find food to be too spicy - Sichuan food's spiciness is virtually nothing compared to that of Jiangxi. So it's just a matter of locality. If anyone visits Fujian for example, it's actually quite difficult to find any real spicy food at all.

也是超详细了

Kuai mean dollar in mandarin dude, 10 kuai means 10 dollar.

Hey I am from xinyu Jiangxi,

at 1:43 十快。 Not 快（kuai）。 It should be 块（kuai）。 块 （塊） kuài 成疙瘩或成团的东西：土块儿。 量词，用于块状或某些片状的东西：一块地。两块糖。 量词，用于银币或纸币，等于“圆”：一块钱。

The English meaning of 得便宜卖乖 is: you buy a very cheap item, and then you accuse the seller of a bad attitude, showing that you are aggrieved, in order to cover up your profit.

Idea of TCM is prevention

Qual foi a oportunidade que te levou para a China? Eu adoraria tentar a vida na ásia, especialmente china, japão ou coreia. Mas não sei por onde começar, você tem alguns insights que poderiam me ajudar?

Because there is no special treatment for foreigners, your tenth thinks that foreigners need patience. In Chinese: 得便宜卖乖

u are so familiar with china!!!

跑去抚州当然辣，外国人都以为四川辣，四川只是麻辣，只有中国人自己知道江西贵州才是真的辣

China is a place to VISIT, have some adventure while you're young, spend a few years at most. Mainland CCP China is NOT a place to try to settle down, or god forbid have a family if you are not Chinese yourself. The "People's Republic" of China is the epitome of a nationalist ethnostate. If you are a foreigner you literally cannot get permanent residency, let alone a citizenship. Compare that to Japan or Korea which have reasonable citizenship pathways for foreigners. The government is ridiculously oppressive and downright scary. Fake alcohol (among other foods and consumables) is a very real threat in China's "chabuduo" culture where any means to make an extra buck are perfectly fine. The plumbing and quality of houses is horrible. If you are used to western freedoms and luxuries, it's just not a place to live tolerably for any amount of time.

If you have problem adapting in China bring ur whole country, EZ Loll...
