Why You're Probably Living Abroad All Wrong
"I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back!" Aht Aht... you sure about that? Are you living abroad all wrong?
This video delves into two opposing tales about leaving home and living abroad. I'm opening up about what went wrong with my moves to Colombia and China because I came across two Instagram Reels that compelled me to make this video! They both jumped off the screen at me for two different reasons. Watch and find out what they were!
We love a "Keep it 💯" girlie, and this video is full of raw, honest feelings about experiences as women who dared to leave the United States of America (and Australia) to try life abroad. Which end of the spectrum are you on? Let me know in the comments!

      I tend to make friends easily, here, I started with co-workers like most of us do. Once you learn more of the language and go out and do things, it is not hard to make local friends. I didn't know any Mandarin before I went. I hired a tutor soon after I arrived, and then we became friends, so I got lazy with learning beyond the basics, lol. The more you learn, the better the experience.

    I 100% agree with you. I've been to Leshan and Chengdu for a while. Even as a white guy, you get so many stares. Oh. My. God. And then if I go out to the countryside villages, it gets crazy, it's like a celebrity experience and a bit unsettling. Like you feel, when people stare at you in America, it can be a dangerous thing... In China, people are harmless and curious, but I know exactly what you mean. Good lord to be a black woman in China... But there is NEVER a boring moment in China. Hella fun country and really kind, if extremely blunt, people. Outstanding food everywhere - hell, at home I'm eating Chinese most of the time anyway. Only thing I missed from America were the tacos. That said, it does get very lonely - basically nobody in China speaks English. Great for learning a language quickly, but good lord, trying to navigate all their apps without knowing fluent Chinese is really painful. And you -have- to use their local apps for everything, from payment, to maps, to their review sites, to their trip planning, to their messaging, to booking plane tickets and trains. Also you're not fat. Chinese people are just way too thin. You're 100% right about watermelon, though... My wife makes watermelon smoothies almost every day :D

I'm not saying that is your expectation... just want you to understand that it shouldn't be. Now, to answer your question...most people don't speak English in Chongqing. In an educational setting, there will be more English speakers but outside of a University, in day-to-day life no. You'll have to use a translation app. Have fun learning!
