>>2876355idk why but photos of china from 2000 to 2017 are incredibly comfy
>>2876358What's your guys' favorite media to watch and read to practice chinese?This woman's yt channel is quite good, although a lil sleepy. She always includes Chinese, PinYin and English subs.https://youtube.com/watch?v=VC9ADwNHwVE
Can anyone recommend a good 天安門一九八九年 tour?
>>2876359So cute how Chinese always put emphasis on the wrong syllable in the name Nicole
>>2876363Are you also learning chinese? If so, what level are you at?I know most of the words Nicole uses, but need to slow the video down to 0.65x to process it.Words like wu and anything starting with y are spoken very briefly and softly, making them difficult to notice.
>>2876484I am fluent after 8 years of living in China. I haven't sought out learning-specific content in ages so can't help with your original question but maybe can be helpful with general Chinese/China questions if you have them
>>2876530Sure, I have some random questions. You can answer what you want.>What's your favorite thing about living there?>Do you have a favorite year in China? What made it the best?>What's your favorite spot?>Have foreign losers in China made life more difficult for you? I've heard stories about English teachers "napping" with kindergarten children, criminals fleeing convictions in their countries of origin, temperamental alcoholics, spineless dorks, wall street and ex-military larpers - many sordid characters. Perhaps these crude travelers and expats have made their way into the Chinese subconscious, making them more skeptical of your character? Or are people largely impartial to you?>Do you have many expat friends? If so, what do ya'll do together?Thank you
this is what 200+ AQI looks like from the air
Tekes 八卦 city in Ili, taken on a flight between Yarkent and Ili, July 2025sadly northern XJ is boring unless you can drive
How much better would traveling china be with a chill friend vs solo?
>>2876559>Affordable first world modern living without any of the downsides experienced by locals>Pre covid was more fun but I was also younger>Chengdu or Dongbei, generally>People are mostly indifferent to you. Of the weird variety of characters you invented/listed, only temperamental alcoholics are actually common. It depends on city but eg Shanghai expats are mostly high functioning professional Europeans/Americans or college age slavs so the usual stereotypes dont really apply>Yes. We play cards and drink. Some guys more active than I play in pickup sports leagues
>>2876723Its pretty trippy going alone as I felt the most foreign in China compared to any other country I have been. At least go alone once unless you got a really good friend that doesn't complain at all.
>>2876747That would be trippy... Were locals nice to you even though you were alone?
Shenzhen, and then it's time to gorge on hotpot
>>2876757Fuckin rights
I kind of want to visit China but seeing how the internet is censored and having to use alipay or whatever it is to pay for everything kind of puts me off of it.
>>2876755I am considered handsome so I've had nothing but positive experiences with locals. So it varies on each person on skin color, attractiveness, and race. Always try to looksmaxx before traveling though, makes travel much more fun when you look clean and presentable. >>2876760You can get a VPN on your phone to avoid this problem. Just don't watch porn, you'll get in trouble.
>>2876766porn ban is only enforced if you distribute, they don't care about consumption>>2876723it is better to go with a friend because you get to try more food
>>2876766i watched porn in china lol you're fine you think the goon squad is gonna raid your hotel room because you're trying to spank one out ? >>2876760it's a bit difficult at first to understand how it works, but once you get it it's so useful, wish we had alipay here
