Shaanxi Native in Shenzhen: Just NOT Wired for This Place! (Totally a 'Me' Thing)

[Katrina Sporer]

I'm planning to leave this year... The oppressive heat and humidity make me feel nauseous.

[Velma Thompson]

The moment I step outside, I just want to go back home, even though home isn't particularly comfortable either.

[Danielle Purdy-Weimann]

The showering thing is true; in Guangdong, people basically shower every day, sometimes twice a day.

[Frank Cole]

While there's nothing wrong with showering, having to do it every day is such a hassle for me, like having to go to work or do homework daily.

[Robyn Reilly]

It's really hard not to agree with your fourth point!!!!

[Israel Koss]

I also never expected that rice noodle rolls (cheung fun) could be made so poorly.

[Josephine Cremin]

I'm already thinking of going back to Yunnan.

[Karen Zulauf]

Yunnan is a place so beautiful it moved me to tears in videos. If you're really struggling, you should go back. Don't make things too hard on yourself.

[Edith Friesen]

Shenzhen today isn't the Shenzhen it used to be.

[Lorena Runolfsson]

I guess I missed out on the good times.

[Hannah Rogahn]

I hope all friends from out of town know about the midges (or no-see-ums). Their bites itch for at least three days, and in Shenzhen, you need strong insect repellent for it to be even somewhat effective.

[Beulah Koelpin]

Now I know.
