ABOUT ME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello there, welcome to this channel!
I am an Indonesian female solo traveler, who started solo traveling in 2013. After working for the government till 2016, I left Indonesia to pursue full-time traveling and to document myself as I explore different cultures as a solo female.
Having initially traveled for 5 months throughout Asia, I moved to China in January 2017 for an English teaching job, which was my first experience living abroad.
Since leaving China in 2018, I have taken the move to become a full-time KZbin creator and traveler. I strive to create unique, culture-driven content and capture authentic interactions as I travel.

Syifa, your spoken English is so excellent!! I would like you to be my English teacher, no doubt about that.

great!

[@xiaoxiaopeng8207]

Foreigners, please leave China

[@matrixbug]

one of Golden Rules is, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you". 己所不欲勿施于人 Most of Chinese people are hospitality. But some are stupid and ignorant, those are not welcome to anywhere. 中国大多数人都是友善的。但也有一小部分人又蠢又无知，是到哪里都不会受欢迎的。

[@justiceglobal1277]

Dear Syifa, i enjoy your vedio quite alot, it gave ordinary ppl more positive engery to carry on , please ignore those stupid commets made by stupid ppl, they speak irresponsibly and try to discourage you from doing what you want to do, or , at least make you do things their way. Yinchuan is located in north west of china, and ppl there are more friendly compare to the chinesel living in costal area, so it should be quite easy to make friends with the local. my suggestion is to find one of your chinese collegue and try to learn some chinese from her, it would be a great way to get invlove into chinese society. your colleague and ppl around her would become more friendly and willing to help and share what they can offer.

[@taoyu443]

Welcome to China. Thank you for the great video! You are confident and thoughtful. Chinese people are friendly and we love peace. Please use you eyes to watch China and ignore the unfriendly comments. I don't really think they are from China. Best wishes!

good luck with your travels

[@tianyuhou1247]

諸位同胞，穆斯林國家的女性能獨立走出家門，走出國門，我覺得是件好事。中華文化的同化能力有目共睹，何況我們的傳統也贊成有教無類。印尼排華的慘劇源自盲信，嫉妒和愚昧，既然這位女士看來有足夠的教育背景和學習意願，應該給人一個機會，瞭解中華文明的人越多，過去的悲劇才不會重演，難道開軍艦去殺五十萬當地人，大仇得报，就能阻值這些繼續發生嗎？我不是贊成白左一類思想，而是一些有意志改變自身命運並且願意接受不同文化與信仰的人，應得到善意的對待。

Hi Syifa - You are a Different and Special Person to have this Desire to Explore other Countries and Cultures. You are like a Gypsy - very interesting way to live your Life. Except that being a Young Woman travelling Alone is very Dangerous but you are very Courageous. In China you have the advantage of Looks but what about Language - can you speak Chinese?

[@yananneteoh9818]

The main point about China is 1. safety, safer than many other cities 2. good money and easy work 3. very interesting for travelling, food and meeting people... watch the videos of those who really move to live in China for very good reasons.

[@nandinidash5915]

I do not know you are from which country and who intimidated you, if you abide by the rules and regulations ( not very stiff) of China, then it is the best place to live and at present China is the country which developing so fast. If you are a person not to abide by rules, not to respect their culture, do not like Chinese food, do not try to understand basic Chinese language then it is problem for you. MY EXPERIENCE IS THESE ADJUSTMENTS ARE FAR MORE EASIER THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY. I CAN SAY ABOUT INDIA , IT IS COUNTRY OF 22 LANGUAGES, THERE IS DISPARITY, BULLYING. SO, PLEASE STOP THIS NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA. YES, CHINA IS VERY STRICT FOR POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS. AFTER ALL YOU ARE A SOCIAL ANIMAL, SO WHERE EVER YOU GO HAVE TO PAY RESPECT TO CERTAIN NORMS.

[@paulmaking1980]

Great video Syifa! You are very beautiful!

[@HamidAli-rz6zq]

HEY SYIFA

[@vitateh]

Hi! Syifa why don't you learn more about Chinese language while you are still living in China today? by then it will allow you to understand better the culture and the life of the ordinary people there, while you are putting yourself in an environment that speak only one language by then it will force yourself to pick-up that language skill faster and easier, bear in mind that it will be must easier to learn new skill while you are still young, once you are getting older it will be a daunting task to learn Chinese, because Chinese is inherently tough language to master for non native speaker, believed me, Chinese language will become your most valuable asset in the coming years if your bother to take the trouble to learn it now. don't get intimidated.

[@SyifaAdriana]

Thank you Vitateh for your comment! With my current job, it is a bit impossible to have such course like that, however I do learn online and from my Chinese coworker and friend. Thank you again for your encouragement! :)

[@warrenlee3703]

You should stop eating red beef noodle soup, the invention of the Muslims.

[@warrenlee3703]

No, he never said that. Source? Neil DeGrasse Tyson did talk about Islamic history and the contribution Islam has made to science. They were the conservators of Roman, Greek, Egyptian science in fact. But over time, you got radicals that destroyed it. Christian radicals called Catholicism did the EXACT same thing from 100AD roughly to about 1600's, before the Renaissance period with Galileo. Radical Islam and radical Christians HATE science. That's a fact. That's what Dr. Tyson said. I studied physics and I know Einstein's field equation. I know who Tyson is. Do you? Do you even know science-history? Obviously NOT. And apparently you can't comprehend nor write English well based on your writing.

Hey i found your channel about a couple of days and i love your videos! I am an Persian Girl and not muslim like the most iranis and persian, but you changed my thinking about islam a lot, alltough i will never be a muslim. Could you make an video about the political situation in indonesia? As well indonesia is a beautiful country, the human rights are not the best, like in my home country after the islamic revolution. I am a big fighter against the death penalty and hear a lot about it in idonesia. It breaks my heart if somebody murders, doesn't matter if it is a single person or a staate. Nobody has the right to killing. I am currently writing a book about the death penalty in iran and usa and i would like to know your opinion about that topic. Specially from the religion perspective, even i am not religion, i can not believe that the islam would support this unhuman penalty. Best wishes from Penang ☺️❤️

[@philipps4252]

Good luck with your book! However, keep in mind that the death penalty was something very normal in former times which reflects in old books like the thora, bible or the quoran.

[@anasawitri2678]

Hey I'm Indonesian 😊 Death penalty that is implemanted in Indonesia has nothing to do with religion. This law is aimed for drug smugglers and terrorist. I'm pretty sure, you've already heard about two australians who got death penalty after they are convicted smuggling heroin in Bali. Actually the place where do you stay now, Malaysia is also implemented death penalty with the same case. So does Singapore and China. Moreover just fyi, Indonesia is not islamic country, only one province that implement "what they call" sharia. The ideology of Indonesia is Pancasila that covers all religions, ethnicities and races. And that's pretty liberal and secular but not completely. We already being multicultural since before the colonialism came to Indonesia. The majority of indonesians are muslim, but that doesnt mean it's islamic country 😊

[@VicmundLim]

I visited China....Peking, Shanghai, Hongkong, Meximian, Guilin, Suchio, etce....8 times yes I love China today because the Colonial powers rule her for more than 200 years....imagine, Chinese and dogs should not pass this road....I can't speak Mandarin but can speak Hokkien and Cantonese but sorry can't speak Hakka....I love to know more about Hakka people....they are the rebelious clans and Guest people.....Lee Kuan Yew a Hakka Baba like me.

Thank you for making this video and welcome to my home country! China is not English-friendly. But in big cities, like Beijing and Shanghai, it's not very difficult to find somebody who can speak English. I understand you choose to live in Yinchuan city because it's the capital of a muslin province. As a native Mandarin speaker, I'd say it's kind of hard to have a good command of Chinese, but it's not so hard to learn some simple Chinese words for everyday use, which will make your life in China much easier. Hope you enjoy your trip to China!

[@chrissabre1761]

LOL, if you think that then you have never been to America. I've been all over American and I'm still wondering where she learned what English she does speak. "the way they stare you". NO, it should be, the way they stare at you. Now don't get me wrong, I don't speak Indonesian or Chinese well either.

[@perfectstudents8361]

While in China, you should really try to learn Mandarin, even only learn pinyin and conversational skills. It is the best time to have a full immersion in the language. Remember Chinese is the most spoken language in the world and a very important world language. It will serve you well in China or when you decide to return to Indonesia one day. Many people say that Chinese is very hard. I strongly disagree, I think Chinese is an easy language to learn as there are no complicated tenses, confusing word conjugation, etc. In fact, I speak fluent Mandarin after living 2 years with a couple of Chinese roommates in America. Now I can read, write, and speak basic Mandarin. I went to China for the first time a few years ago and I went everywhere without any language problem. I can't tell you how valuable it is to live in a country and learn the language locally. In the U.S., I spent 2 months learning Spanish grammar and basic words for the first time at a university. Then I traveled in Central and South America and lived with the local families. After 3 months of travel, I returned to the U.S. as a fluent Spanish speaker. This is my real experience. That's why I think you should really take advantage of this opportunity to learn Mandarin while you're in China. You will not regret it.
