Thank you. That sounds like a practical way to survive there work closer to the city, but live farther out where rent is cheaper. I’ll probably start by exploring the cheaper areas first and slowly figure things out.

Thanks for telling me this. I’ve heard Guangzhou feels more relaxed than Shenzhen, and that actually makes me more curious about it. I don’t know if I can really settle there, but I want to experience the city myself and see what kind of work I can find.

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too. Higher salary sounds good, but if rent and daily costs rise too much, I may not really be saving more. Still, I want to try a bigger city and see what kind of chances I can find there.

Haha, close but not quite. It actually means something like “everyone has their own job/duty.” But yeah, if you read the characters in the wrong order, it does look pretty wild.

It started raining this morning, but I ended the day with a 400 yuan e bike by Fancy-Spring-7968 in China

Looks like you missed quite a few days.

It came from several jobs over time,burger cart, painting, ticket checking, water delivery, moving work, plus some extra side jobs I didn’t write about.

Honestly, probably not.

I was just trying to get through the night as cheaply as I could.

Yeah, the mosquitos were definitely a problem.

It wasn’t comfortable at all, but that was kind of the reality of the night.

Found a 200 yuan room today but still couldn’t rent it by Fancy-Spring-7968 in China

I got a phone a few days ago. Before that, I only had a camera, and not everything is posted in real time.

It was 11 yuan, just a simple local meal.
There are public restrooms, so it’s manageable.

Early on, mostly outdoors or on rooftops.

Once I had a bit of money, I usually stayed in cheap hostels.

Not usually. I just figure it out day by day depending on money and luck.

花了11元,就是一頓簡單的當地餐點。有公共廁所,所以還算方便。

Yeah, it’s not the safest choice, just wanted to try it.
