❤️👍Cheering for and supporting CJ my fellow Singaporean friend.👏👏👏 我也有远亲在山东省。我也好喜欢上海。其他的省份与城市,比如北京,天津,承德,无锡,南京,苏州,杭州,福建省,云南省与香港,我都很适应。 Many province's and cities in China are really suitable for me, and Shanghai is one of the best. 👍🥰💖👏

Our Chinese accents are similar to people from southern China. If he visit his ancestry home, he would probably find things are also translated from dialects. I happened to visit my parents home town, they don't speak beautiful chinese also. Most still speak the dialect especially in rural area. Of course, when younger gen attended national school they acquired learn 普通话。 Shanghai has its own culture and it is different from other cities. We shouldn't view china as a homogeneous people, meaning they are speak and behave in the same way!

CJ's story is a fun and interesting look at adapting to a new culture, the challenges he faced, and how it changed him. It's a great watch if you're interested in China or unique life experiences.

I went to work in Shanghai for 12 years from 2002. Yeah, coffee scarcity. I had to bring 3 in 1 packs with me every where I go and ask for hot water.

The question is more importantly how do some 600 million Chinese survived with monthly wages below just USD140 per month of equivalent to USD1,680 annually, much, much lower than USD5,000 a year in this discourse ??

Very interesting video. I would like to hear more of such interview especially with individual who now works from Singapore but with the need to travel abroad to China, or Europe. One disagreement --- looking at myself, a retired Singaporean, working in Singapore with engineering experiences, self upgrading through the British tradesmen certification & professional channels, I like to improve processes to the irritation of my wife.

Always has this notion that perhaps, those Singaporeans stationed in China, like Ping An Jessica Tan, TikTok CEO, Espressif CEO Teo, could come together to compile their stories into a book. More about insight of China Corporate culture, what they have seen, what many Sg locals don't. There was a good book by Paul Theroux, Riding the Iron Rooster.

You got to understand it from the Singaporean perspective when it comes to coffee. We just walk out of our homes and there are coffee shops with really decent coffee available. Most of us don't go for Starbucks unless we want to splurge. I would think it is the same for someone from Malaysia and Indonesia. The coffee culture of these two countries including Singapore is not Starbucks or Luckin.
