First Week Of Working In China Completed!

[@peterjol]

To be able to wander around alone at night WITHOUT the worry of coming across any violent drunks or yobs would be wonderful.. I seldom go out in my old age but here in the UK I always felt as if I was 'lucky' to reach home without any trouble after a night out as a young man. I certainly could not walk around alone at night feeling completely relaxed.

[@arafsadventures]

@@peterjol Yeah I get exactly what you're saying. It is very safe here at night, infact it's beautiful how safe it is because every county should be this safe, it's the least we should get, the feeling of feeling safe. I remember when I was 18 back in the UK, I used to work in a bar, and I could afford to get a taxi home when I finished so I used to walk home, which took me around 45mins, and nearly everytime I walked home I got some kind of bother, from people following me, people asking for money, or a couple of times getting jumped. It's completely different here mate

[@arafsadventures]

Thanks a lot for the recent likes on videos and nice comments, I do really appreciate it 🙏 One tip though............... Never drink chocolate beer 🤣

[@jacofield]

Chocolate beer man What, whattt 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@arafsadventures]

@@jacofield Yeah exactly 🤣🤣🤣

[@chualooong1737]

At first I thought you were pouring out a stout. Never heard of chocolate beer, first time

[@jonwong6445]

It's probably porter.. a type of stout that has burnt chicory flavour, like coffee and chocolate...but definitely not everyone's uhhmm... cup of tea. heh

[@et5222]

It's not good clickbait, but a million thanks for being a rare expat YTer who will say "I love China" and "I love back home"... thanks foe being real and having fun

[@arafsadventures]

@@et5222 Appreciate it 🙏 I’m just a blogger that happens to be in China is the way I look at it, there’s good and bad here like any other country, but the good outweighs the bad which keeps me here. Of course I love my home too and hope things improve there very soon

[@乔璐瑶]

I hope you live happily in China. We welcome you 😊😊

[@arafsadventures]

@@乔璐瑶 Thank you 🙏

[@TheMacabreGamer]

It's always a good time when a new Araf video pops up.

[@arafsadventures]

Leeettssssss gooooooo! Hope you enjoy mate

[@madhatterzz]

id love to come to china and try some of the food and have some beer with you. looks like a beautiful country. allways wanted to go.

[@arafsadventures]

@@madhatterzz Yeah there's a lot to see and do here. I definitely recommend, even just for a holiday 👌

[@bobbylow175]

This brings me back to your earlier videos where you were trying out large bowls of noodles and stuff.

[@arafsadventures]

You mean the good old days? Haha. Yeah I need to do more food tasting videos to be honest, but actually I'm going to be eating pufferfish in 2 weeks time, so keep an eye open for that 😏

[@chualooong1737]

Don't try, many died trying pufferfish. Not worth the risks.

[@shiwang8989]

Your bowl of noodle is at least 2.5X larger than mine. Not sure why the portion of noodle in Thailand/Vietnam is so small in comparison to Guangzhou China.

[@arafsadventures]

Yesh it was absolutely huge tbf 😂 That's why I like going there as it's value for money and tastes great 👌 Plus I love they season the shrimp here

[@zhuzhengyi111]

Nice video keep what you doing there

[@arafsadventures]

Glad you enjoyed 🙏

[@valerieanneaskew1560]

Araf you could easily meet a nice Chinese girl and settle down there in China! I came to Italy as a young girl and it's my home now! ❤Of course I go home to Scotland whenever I can cos a big part of my heart is still there. Remember when I was younger I didn't get home that often, there were no low cost flights 😱I think it's great experience for you and as you said a lot of things in the UK are going downhill Whilst China is on the up! 😊

[@arafsadventures]

@@valerieanneaskew1560 Yeah you never know what's round the corner 😊 I just over think things a lot as I have a lot of time to think here. Just need to do my thing and let things happen naturally instead of forcing anything. You're brave to leave home at a young age and find yourself, that's exactly what mother did actually, so hats off to you 🥰

[@LW78321]

I could live off noodle soups 😍

[@arafsadventures]

@@LW78321 Me too haha

[@steveangelovski6013]

Next time try coffee stout beer. I know you like coffee so it might be up your alley. I have not tried chocolate beer but I will accept the challenge.

[@arafsadventures]

Ah that sounds like a good idea 😏 Might like that actually haha. Well it's definitely a challenge do prepare yourself 🤣

[@LW78321]

Have you done something to your hair/facial hair? Can't pick it, but this new look looks good on you!

[@arafsadventures]

@@LW78321 no I just let it grow a little, haha thank you. I might grow a beard one day and see how it looks 😂

[@markshinnawi7477]

great show

[@arafsadventures]

@@markshinnawi7477 Glad you enjoy enjoyed 🙏

[@wissme7o6050]

Moving to Shanghai is a great idea, it's never boring, you can have a higher income, lots of people from all over the world, and the diversity will allow you to meet lots of interesting people, whether they are from Europe, the US, or English-speaking Chinese, and I'm sure you'll find your other half in no time!

[@arafsadventures]

I mean it’s definitely an option but a big decision at the same time. It’s only an hour in the train from here, so easy enough to visit, but I guess it would be completely different living there

[@HanC.]

So make a move Shanghai, meet a beautiful girl and settle down. But I would like a beautiful quite town, where is it?

[@arafsadventures]

It's a big move if I do, so a lot of thinking gas to be done. I'm within Wuxi

[@HanC.]

@@arafsadventures I know... Where here to listen 😉

[@stevec8958]

👍👍👍

[@arafsadventures]

😎🙏

[@bobbylow175]

Dude, you gotta learn some Chinese if you plan to stay there long term. Who knows? You might meet your future wife there as well.

[@arafsadventures]

I know the basics, but yeah you're right, who knows what's round the corner.

[@jasonke5061]

hey araf, the next thing u know, u will be hookig up with a chinese gal, and boomz, ya settled in china for good! just kidding with ya, but i do came across quite a number of vloggers that was in the same scenario like yours, and somehow they found the love of their life there and settled. =)

[@arafsadventures]

Haha you never know I guess! But yeah if it happens it happens, if not I'll just keep reviewing chocolate beer till I pass out 😩🤣

[@bobbylow175]

Chocolate beer? LOL. Does it taste like Baileys?

[@arafsadventures]

Not at all, it tastes very bitter with the flavour of chocolate haha, I do not recommend at all 🤣

[@bobbylow175]

@@arafsadventures sounds like dark chocolate which is bitter. I heard it pairs well with whiskey but haven’t heard of anyone having it with beer.

[@arafsadventures]

@@bobbylow175 Yeah must be dark! As it's very bitter haha, my fault for not being able to read Chinese 😂

[@borisgaming4473]

Hi, one question, can i drive E scooter in China? Similar to yours? In general, people from my country can exchange domestic driving licence with Chinese, or better to say, you get your licence just translated to Chinese, but i would like to skip all this if i dont need the licence for this type of vehicle. Thanks!😊

[@arafsadventures]

@@borisgaming4473 Yeah you can ride one with no license my friend 🙏

[@TheMacabreGamer]

Can name her Pickles. Or even kizzie

[@arafsadventures]

Where do I know pickles from 🤔haha

[@TheMacabreGamer]

@@arafsadventures it's an around name that's quite fitting

@@antwango The barman?

[@RM-qw3xz]

But what do you think about how China is doing? Everyone, especially Indians and Japanese, thinks that China is done. They claim that China's economy has been contracting and that China is knee-deep in debt.

[@arafsadventures]

@@RM-qw3xz I can only talk about what I see for myself, I've been here 6 years and it's completely different now to when I first came. For example the city I'm in has a train station now since last year, a metro line now since last year, a new highway since a few months a go, a new shopping centre just across the road from me since 6 months ago. To me it looks like things are on the up, but like I said, I can only judge with what I see

[@edie930]

Find a girlfriend in china

@@edie930 Maybe haha

Why do you work in china,you can’t find a job in uk or china pays you more salary?

@@atlasx5947 China pays more, and the cidt of living is cheap too so you can save
