The truth about being a foreigner in China (it was not an easy video to make)

[@sfo2615]

You are so kind to buy that poor lady's stuff. Just ignore hater's comments, you don't even know who they are. China, as a rising power in this World, we do have lots of enemies, these people just want every foreigner to hate China, ignore them is the best way to deal with them, because they are just harmless cowards seeking for sense of presence on internet. Love your videos btw.

[@KajaKubicka]

thank you :)

You know internet. There are always some stupid people, like regional bigots, even thinking the city belongs to themselves. It happens to us Chinese too. Just a few days ago, a friend of mine in GuangZhou got discriminated by a local resident because she can't speak Cantonese. She has been in the city for 15 years and is a mother of two. Just ignore them and forget it.

[@sryherd766]

Fantastic video. I appreciate your honesty. I spent 4 months in Taipei which is not the same as living abroad for years but it definitely changed my life for the better. I feel like I think about things differently than Americans who have not lived abroad.

[@KajaKubicka]

thank you! :)

[@WolframRaies]

I've been watching your videos since the one where you filmed in Hangzhou (I applied to study at the art school there, hope I get in) and I really like your positive energy. Thanks for sharing your journey with random strangers on the internet. Keep staying awesome Kaja.

[@KajaKubicka]

so nice of you! thank you! :)

[@MillsRepDom]

Super honest and thoughtful video. Ignore them! I am an expat living in the dominican republic and there are definitely hard times. I love your videos!

[@KajaKubicka]

thank you! :)

[@davienotellin4313]

Kaja, don't pay too much attention to those internet trolls. I live in America, and every time I posted something in a public forum, it's a guarantee that some racist Americans will start attacking me and scream "Go back to China!" but the fact that I am not from ?China and never been there lol. The hard facts are some of these trolls who told you to go back to your country might not be from China at all, they might be China-haters who want to bring some anger out of you, to entice you to write something bad in the future. Just enjoy your life in one of the most beautiful city (Shanghai!!) in the World. China is huge, wish you can go to other Chinese cities often.

[@YPC-sd8lw]

Could you tell us in which of your video we can read this hateful comment? I also let you know that many anti-chinese trolls impersonating as Chinese and trolling around with hateful comments.

[@KajaKubicka]

I unfortunately don't remember, but it must to be a video for a couple of months ago

[@YPC-sd8lw]

Could you tell us the account name of this hateful comment?

[@Tekhelet75]

byKaja Kaja, just a heads up... it is well known by now, that there are many folk masquerading as Chinese people. They are CIA, MI6, India nationalists... just some examples. Pretty sure the nasty comments at you are not by Chinese folk.

[@weifeng1495]

i love you and your videos! Girl, just ignore the haters, they r losers posting the comments to attract attention. They lose if you don't care.

[@prartlandpr8313]

'go back to China!' thats what i heard in Britain times and times. just ignore these hater. Foreigner like you are very welcome here! love your videos. come to my town Nanjing, if you want. I will show you around😏

[@weizhang2834]

[@xinmiao6159]

Where ever you go,some people won't like you, no sadness. No one can ever get everyone to like you.

[@KajaKubicka]

I agree :)

[@panzhu9836]

seriously, Chinese ppl are just overwhelmingly friendly to foreigners.

[@davidng407]

Like you said: "99% of the people are friendly." That's everywhere you go. We all know there are people that have mental issues that are not under control. That is everywhere too. Just be happy that yo are well, and not going through life with uncontrolled mental issues.

[@ryanlee6756]

Dear, sorry for that, i think there are 99% people in this world is nice to others, and polite to others. But always 1% guys are add, they want to show they are special and say something bad. Please forgive those ignorant people no matter where he comes from.

[@KajaKubicka]

true :)

[@mollymuh3764]

I gather that your roommates Nina and the Indian girl are only ordinary expats, not "professional foreigners", for they haven't been foreigners as long as you have. Apparently, this video was mostly made during last winter... love to see more recent summer videos!

[@hujiaming6151]

Don't pay too much attention to those haters, they are not worth of your time, they are just jealous about your life which is better than theirs. Keep on being happy.

[@johnbovie9203]

Thank you for a more positive outlook about China. I live an hour south of you and have been here 14 years. So many people have a negative slant to their videos about this country, but like you I have been treated well and am thankful to China for the life it has provided me. Cheers!

[@gracefeng7301]

Welcome to China! Ignore madman gossips!

[@fsh3702]

We should be thankful to people like you from other nations truly appreciating Chinese culture and atmosphere, because according to my experience, many foreigners who never come to China consider China is a backward and autocratic nation with some feudal system, some Indians I met ever asked me "Does China sell opium now?". Really thank you for your candid and enjoyable opinion towards China.

[@fangyuanxiao6910]

And I realized that we're living exactly in the same country right now, but we're both using vpns to communicate in the foreign website, which is weird but funny.

Just because that person tells you to go back to your country doesn't mean that that person is Chinese. He might just be another foreigner or someone who wants you to have a negative idea of China.

[@jiayinan9353]

我相信每一个中国人都是友善的，并且欢迎每一个来自不同国家和地区的人来中国，因为中国不是多元文化的社会，因此我们每天无时无刻都接触着熟悉的亚洲面孔，对外国人有着好奇的心理我们并不排斥外国人。 我认为如果外国人想要来到中国工作，起码要学会基本的日常中文，因为这是起码是对当地文化的尊重。很多外国人呆在中国很多年但是不会说中文，是让我很不能理解的。。。如果经常和来自同一个国家的人呆在一起的话，对语言学习没有任何的帮助。要多交中国朋友并且每天都要跟他们交流参与他们的生活圈。

[@jckalden1700]

Wow, it is really cool, the scenes in People's Square. Brought back some good memories. Plenty of interesting "long forgotten" snacks and tit-bits to snack, too. Next, how about some pictures of Old City God Temple of Shanghai, commonly known as Chenghuangmiao by locals, is located at Middle Fangbang Road, and adjoins Yuyuan Garden in the south ? Popular for their xiao long bao, too. When I was there, a few years ago, it was long queue. Meantime, thank you. And here is a tip I like to share. When eating fried dough fritters, (youtiao), try dipping it into a cup of hot coffee black. It may lead your taste buds to somewhere. I would laugh when foreigners just eat it by itself. Commonsense dictates when foreigners eat fast foods they also have a cup of tea or coffee, right? Cheers

[@KajaKubicka]

thanks for the tips! :)

Hello, I've been watching a few of your videos and deeply enjoying them. There are always some bad apples in the tree so please don't let them discourage you.

It's funny because there are more chinese around the whole world and in every country more than any other race, but I also experienced similar to you in China - but they don't usually say insults to me DIRECTLY, they show it with their attitude towards me and sometimes the words slip out of their mouth.

As one Chinese living in outside of the country, I think Chinese English without” shithole”, That gay know English very well, he know it, maybe he had some of the bad background with western, so he do that ...

[@diuleisin]

let me tell you a trick, the person who wrote that hate comment may not be a Chinese instead he might be an anti-chinese whose job is to creat conflict. next time you see stuff like this just ignore it.

[@johnlee1511]

Those type of negative comments that you get are probably a kind of push back against the Western media's negative bias against China. But that doesn't mean it is right and they should not discriminate against all foreigners in China, especially you, but some do deserve it. Any case ignore those people, they are either ignorant or trolls. Also it is interesting to note that the comments you made about living as a foreigner in China is very similar to the experiences Chinese immigrants in the West have had for generations, perpetual foreigner etc..

[@马剑星]

I really like your vedio just like you said there are good guys and bad guys everywhere China is no difference. I can understand that you can't speak Chinese you will meet some trouble in China just like me as a oversee student living in Germany now.I can't speak German.I recommend you can make some Chinese friends.although I know a lot of people in China don't speak English or even try to speak English.This is also the most failed thing in Chinese education. And another reason is our culture,because almost Chinese people are so shy.Confidence is a permanent problem of Chinese. getting used to another culture is always difficult because you are different from the tourist in China.so do I.But I am very glad to see that you always have a positive altitude about living in China.that is right.I definitely know that if you want to get a better life do not focus some negative things about that country everything has both sides.all should our do are amplify the positive things. I also know in western countries there are always some bad guys talking about color .the recism. but just like I living in Germany. I think almost German don't have that view.just give us more time,it will be better and better!
