一名资深老外的建议
一名资深老外的建议


I have been in China for 5.5 years now. Soon I will be celebrating my 6th anniversary of my love with China and its people. I really love this nation and land. Anyway, I have seen many foreigners are greatly unhappy in this country. Therefore, I would like to share some points that I learned from being so long on this land. I hope these tips will help all of us to be happy.
  1. You are in a very different country
You must know that you are in a different, a very different country. The difference may be bigger than your previous experiences being abroad or your expectations.
 2. Learn their language 
Learn some basic words. You can ask a road, buy a train ticket and do such simple things easily. This is very important because most of unhappy foreigners I have seen can be categorized to this. They do not know the language, and more importantly, they are not interested in learning it. They keep thinking the whole world should understand their language, English. 
3. Fix an AliPay account and get a WeChat app
If you are going to stay here without a smart phone which does not have AliPay or WeChat payment method, you are going to lose a lot of conveniences in this land. It is open for foreigners now. A lot of countries are now on the AliPay, so you can easily configure(配置) one.
