@erinraii: People would ask questions about my hair and where I’m from but it didn’t make me feel unsafe in the way it would here in the states. Overall, China is a very safe country. The freedom that gives your brain is something I wish we could all have. I could exsit without fear and even walk around at 3am safely. It is just so different from the US. There were hard parts ofc but overall looking back on it, there was an ease to life that can’t be replicated in the states. I miss it so much these days 😭 #Livingabroad #FYP #Movingabroad #Expatlife #Expat #traveltiktok #travel

This is why the US pushes such heavy anti China propaganda. This is what they don’t want us to have 😭😭

I had a similar experience, I'm an nb queer woman. One thing, Sometimes my hours at work got really crazy, like 12 shifts for days in a row, but on those days I always had paid meals and nap time.

I LOVED my years at my Chinese dual language school. over half of my teachers were apart of an exchange program that our local college had a partnership with a uni in Beijing
