Hello! I just found your video, and i hope you can answer my question😅 1. Did you have some teaching experience before coming to China? Or it was a new experience (if yes, was it successful at first? 😅) 2. You wanted to teach high school students without an assistant, so it wouldn't be scary to communicate with them alone haha? Like, maybe there would be some hooligans or smth like that... I would be very grateful if you answer me 🥺

That middle name thing is so relatable

Just stop eating a trash. It's horrible.

My Asian/White son had one eye with a monolid and the other not.

Hi, I'm curious what happened after this😅😊

12:55 - The way I relate to this sooooo much !!! I'm half Thai and half German and I experienced so many things you mentioned. I wish I had friends that are mixed too, sometimes it can feel pretty lonely, not knowing where to belong.

The way I gasped when I saw your phone case in the reflection and then looked at mine, realizing we have the same one💀

Thanks a lot for your informative insight...! I admire your patience and stamina having had to deal with the circumstances in China. It shows how passionate and excellent a teacher you are...! Best of luck with your future teaching career.

When you said "my middle name is mei" my jaw dropped lol. My middle name is also Mei haha same spelling and I'm also wasian

in 100 years it'll just be called American. Do you tend to hang out with more mixed people now as an adult?

I hate people like you. People like you thinks you are doing us Asians a great favour by mixing your superior white blood on us Asian to make us beautiful. Your parents are the exact definition of white supremacist and you are the symbol of hatred

omgggg i follow that artist on instagram and can't believe i'm seeing the same tattoo watching this video!! yoon is so talented :') may i ask who did the tattoo next to that one on your shoulder? the jade is so pretty also i really loved watching this, such a calm video, your editing skills are so good ~ <3

thin n large note books

i thought taiwan is cantonese 🤨

have u learnt study n memory skills ❤️

35 to 50 children in a class ... too much for me ... i can do 10 at a time 😅

It's funny being a mix. People either like it or get frustrated because they can't just put you in a box.

very nice, thanks teacher!!

Wow you are hot. I don't know why that's the only thing I can say. Then again I'm Protestant so it probably comes with the territory.

its been a while since ive seen you and ive been wondering where you've been recently! hopefully you'll feel better soon. My tiredness also often comes and goes, and I do think taking a timely break is super important as well. Just to quote from mark just take a break when you need it and remember that the tiredness can't get hold of you and everything would pass (well this is not the exact quote but just something along those lines). hopefully this helps!

i’m on accutane rn and holy sheet my skin esp my lips are so DRY like my lips crack trying to eat i hate it

Resident dry scalp haver advice if you still want it. 1. It's the goldilocks effect with wash schedules. Washing hair too often or too little can both irritate dry scalp. 2. Fully scalp massage when washing like you are at a salon to basically exfoliate the current dry skin off. 3. I don't think this tip is needed for you personally but maybe others do and it was a tip I needed is to avoid wearing dark tops because it makes any dandruff that falls super noticable.

I RELATE SM AUGHHH im half chinese half canadian aussie <3 us wasians needa stick together

ahhhhh eriiin glad you are back!! i'm always really grateful for you sharing your experiences with living abroad and just,, life i guess? it's really helpful and somhow soothing hearing your perspective as someone standing in front of the same decisions, experiencing similar worries and thoughts. to see how everything turns out for you is really comforting!! i started my bachelor in korean studies last year and im going abroad next year to korea for an entire year too (which i am very nervous, but excited about) and hearing you share your experiences is honestly really really nice, i'm very happy to hear from you again <33

YAYYYY ERIN'S BACK!!!!

Just thought about you the other day glad to see you back

Yesss! I’m so happy to see you again ❤️✨✨

Eriiiiin hi. omg I relate so much! I lived in Spain for 4 years and I didnt go back home not even once because I was broke lol. I was dreading going back to my country because my family lives in a very small town and I was like omg the change in life style is gonna depress me so much and im gonna go crazy and then I got here last July and it felt so normal .___. and now I have such a boring life just working and being with my family but I think I needed that? im working full time from home with a big company I used to work for doing a boring job but its stability and in Spain I had none of that. Now I just want to save and plan for the next step! I want to be a photographer and that's what I was doing in Spain so I really have to leave because you cant do that in my country and much less In my town but I mean everything at the right time!! im so glad you're back and I really hope you make NCT 127 content and vlogs and stuff again AHHHHH I miss your videos so much

Sooo glad to see you back and doing well Erin!! 💓💓

Ahhhh ur back

We missed youuu!!!!

Hi there. A nice video. I respect everybody of all races. I’m just more confused about race identification these days. I just have never really considered a mixed race person “one” race. If somebody is mixed with white, I don’t understand why they usually ignore their white side and identify more with their non-white side. Some people say race is what you look more like. I disagree because I look at it from a genetic, biological perspective. I can see the White features and Asian features in your face. Race is one thing but culture is something totally different. Nothing against mixed race people but I think it just causes lots of confusion with everybody as you’re even talking about in your video. Maybe we all should just either quit it with race labeling or maybe we should find a way to respect what each of our heritage is in a non-offensive way. Still, it’s obviously hard to race identify with one race. Either way, everybody should be accepted no matter what. Nobody chooses their parents. We all come from God at the end of the day.👌🏻

Welcome to life in china. Your experiences are quite relatable whether you are a teacher or student in China.

This is the most accurate explanation of what it feels like to be mixed Asian that I have ever heard! I relate to this so strongly I'm literally so glad I found this. I'm white and Korean but I look entirely white and most people can't tell by looking at me that I'm mixed (I've had like 1 or 2 people tell me that they could tell I was mixed and I was like "What!? You can?"). Growing up I wished that I looked more Asian because some people just couldn't seem to accept that I was mixed and they would call me a liar or say that it's wrong for me to identify with the Korean part of myself because I don't look Asian enough. Boy did those comments get old real quick 🙄. I've always kinda struggled with the whole "passing" vs " non-passing" thing because to me it just seems like another way people try to tell you how you should feel about who you are. My older sister looks slightly more Asian than I do and she also has a picture of her in a hanbok during her doljanchi (a special celebration on a Korean child's 1st birthday where they dress in traditional Korean clothes and receive gifts) but I never had one and I always wished that I had that as well so I could "prove" that I was part Korean. (Also I was just really cute as a child and I wanted a nice photo of myself). My mom doesn't speak much Korean so really the only exposure we had growing up was food names because my mom cooked Korean food a lot when I was young. Because of this I started taking Korean in college so I could learn more about the language/culture and I also started incorporating more Korean food into my cooking hobby so I could feel more connected to my heritage. However, around some people I would try to downplay my efforts to connect with Korean culture because I didn't want to get accused of appropriation or being a koreaboo. I also didn't really know how to refer to myself so I just used "mixed" or "mixed Asian-American" ("mixed" or "part" always had to be part of it) and I think I'm pretty comfortable with that label now because I think it encompasses all parts of who I am and doesn't diminish how I feel about myself. Overall, I think we as a society need to stop trying to gatekeep what it means to be a certain race because it mischaracterizes people of a certain race as a monolith and doesn't give any space for mixed people to exist. Anyway, I think it's best if I stop trying to fit some random definition of what it means to be a certain race and just be happy being who I am. Thanks for sharing this video, I thought it was really great! ❤️

I still struggle with being mixed raced. Being 3/4 Asian and 1/4 white makes me feel out of place sometimes. I believe I am perceived as Asian but I still feel like I'm totally left out of the demographic. I used to wish my dad was just full Korean so I could be "half this half that" as this is easier than explaining what I actually am but this isn't the case. I'm still trying to accept this today.

Thank you for this honest review! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m still considering teaching English in China after I graduate my undergraduate degree. To take a year off, before I proceed with getting a masters. But this insight based off your experienced, helped me so much! Thank you so much for kindly sharing! And I am super sorry they kind of secluded you from their community! I would feel the same way too! I hope it gets better for you in the future! Best wishes! 😊

Finally someone who can relate <3. In elementary school I looked 100% White and that started to bother me in middle school and on. I hated how people would make stupid remarks like “oh you’re only half Chinese, you don’t count”. And this hurt a lot because I go to a 75% Asian and 20% Hispanic school. And yeah I don’t fit in. Which is crazy because I feel isolated at my school as a White passing person and people tell me I shouldn’t get to be upset because I have privilege. Yet, I think it’s probably a bigger privilege to be Asian at my school and I end up being ostracized for not understanding traditions when in fact I do understand and no one realizes how racist they are. Even when I talk about how it bothers me, I get nowhere. And I agree, it feels like I’m not part of a culture. And yeah, I’m so hesitant to wear a cheongsam because people often take it as appropriation. This video felt really relatable and I love your confidence. I decided to make my speech for an academic competition about my mixed race experiences and hopefully that brings me some peace ❤️❤️

Can a non native teacher ESL teaching in China? If he has two years of kindergarten English teaching experience and has ESL, TEFL , IELTS certificate. & Bachelor degree from China (English taught.) Also having some basic teaching certificate.

finally someone i can relate to

I seriously didn't know she was softjun.........i love that channel so much

The english version of Regular is the only song that isn't odd sounding when you listen to it also Simon Says gets too much hate....song is a banger

My cousin loves younger idols (she's 19 so it makes sense) and then I told her that I love older idols and she was shook when she found out Johnny, Taeyong and Yuta were all the same age and was like "omg their old" And I was like "they're not that old" 😅 age doesn't bother me! As long as I stay away from these idols that are still minors.....we good

I think my ex-friend was kinda sexist towards girl groups because she was a big BTS & boy group stan and she said she tried listening to girl groups but wasn't feeling it and then when I would show her songs she wouldn't be that into it and go back to her precious boy groups 😔 these boy group stans be missing out on some killer girl groups man....

I met with a principal of a school from BC Canada 🍁, he came to China to oversee the curriculum and implement and learn whatever he could, well, he was robbed of his laptop 💻 and quickly found himself on a plane back home. It’s ironic because the perpetrator knew exactly what building, what office and where his desk was, none of the other assets in the building were taken. Very peculiar but very true!

In China, it is forbidden 🚫 to have more than one job! It is forbidden 🚫 to own property unless it’s in a local persons name. Foreigners are seen as drifters with no home, no money and no stability!

Long ago foreigners were required to renew their Z Visa’s in Hong Kong 🇭🇰! I was left in HK for 2 weeks waiting for one school in Anhui Fuyang to send me the proper paperwork they forgot to hand me before leaving!
