What Life in China is REALLY Like for Single Women (Utopia or Exhausting Grind?)

door within 30 minutes. And the price are super cheap, sometimes even cheaper than buying it in the extra store. The streets here are permanently flooded with massive army of delivery riders. As for the remaining 20% of my life, it's all online shopping. This is the package shelf for our building. It's a daily ritual for me to hunt for my boxes here before handing home. In China, you can get almost everything without leaving home. But this conne has dark side. If you don't have traditional office job, it's really easy to become completely disconnected

from society. Some unemployment people don't live with their apartment for months. Welcome to my apartment. I rent this place in Shinj for about $400 a month, including property fees, water, electricity, internet, and even cleaning service. To be honest, I rented this place purely for the balcony. The view is amazing. Oh, here is my laundry. Here is the closet. And this is the bathroom. It's compact and cozy, but honestly, way too small. I usually work right here on this sofa here. Well, it's comfortable. I have to say it's ruining my pasture. Literally,

I've been seriously considering swapping it for a proper healthy office chair. These are the packages I just picked up. Buying this little daily items in China is incredibly cheap. I bought utility knife for literally one cent one US cent that including shipping. Honestly, I have no idea how the economic logic behind this even works. And this item, I don't really like it, so I'm returning it. Returning online orders in China is also ridiculously easy. I just request a return on my order, and the system gives me a fourdigit pickup code. I write the code

on the package. Leave it in the apartment lobby and courier will come pick it up. The entire process is completely free. Almost every taxi in Russia in China has gone completely electric now. Autonomous driving and wheel close are also becoming common. Because of this highland ride is incredibly cheap. This ride is about 6 km and cost 20. But there is catch. When you are getting out of a car on the roadside, you must must check behind you before opening the door. Conless electric bag zoom between cars on the sidewalk which can cause serious door opening

accidents. Speaking of electric scooters, I have to write about Shenzhen. See this is designated sidewalk. I just want to walk normally. The scooters are zooming everywhere. I can't even walk in peace. When I first move to Shenzhen, I really struggle to get used to it. This city is just so crowded. China has 1.4 million people around 100 million living in this province. The population density is crazy. But is it exactly this crazy city that this level of extreme communities? There are over 340 m shopping malls in Shenzhen. In some areas, there's more on

literally every single corner. One more, two more, three and four. All of them are interconnected underground. I originally start YouTube just to practice my English. I never expected so many people being interested in my content. Last week, I officially received my 100,000 SL play button. I'm so so incredibly grateful to every single one of you. To be honest, my real life personality is completely different from who I am on camera. In reality, I'm quite insecure. I'm not good at communicating. I'm bit introverted and my social circle is small. But since

starting their channel, I receive so much warmth and encouragement from you all. You can comments build out my confidence. I truly love you guys. Let me teach you a classic Chinese money saving. If I order this drink directly at the counter, it cost 30 ringi. But if I open a delivery app and order it to the store, it only cost 20 room because of platform subsidies. Then I call the rider and tell him not to come. He gets paid for doing nothing, so he's thrilled. It's a win-win. It's the same for shopping. Never buy something immediately when you see it in

a retail store. Take a photo, search it on a shopping app, and even for the exact same brand. Online will almost always be cheaper. It's only $50 on the shopping app, but it cost $23 if you buy it in the store. Friday night is the highlight of the week for office workers here. It's 7:00 p.m. The subway is packed with long lines. It's usually not this pack, but on Friday nights, most people refuse to work over time, so it's way busier than usual. In Shenzhen, the metro is the most popular convenient way to travel. NFC is the most convenient way to pay for

metro rid. You really don't need a car in China. Even in rural areas, public transit extremely accessible. Please, >> please get ready to exit. >> I can drive. I drove for 9 months when I live in New Zealand. But wouldn't they drive in a Chinese city? The road conditions are too chaotic. Traffic is nightmare and the parking is headache. But the main reason picking taxi here is simply cheaper than driving myself. After 7:00 p.m., the city truly comes alive. Days are filled with busy work, so only the evening truly belong to us. >> >> Don't give up. E I O

E I E I O >> >> This is the most common type of fast food in China. This entire meal cost about $2. For those of us living alone in the city, we almost never cook. Every single meal is subine by deliveries and small street diners. That's it for today's video. Thank you all so much for your continued support.
