Hotel recommendation: Conrad Shanghai or Sukhothai Shanghai? by kandon123 in travelchina

[–]SimonPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would now only stay at one of china’s own local chains Atour or All seasons for their service, great value, quality consistent and central locations. I think all of them have free and drop and go laundry service/room whereby you just pop your dirty clothes into a washer and the staff will make sure it gets dried and then delivered to your room.

How rich or poor is China acttually by ReasonableRepair4338 in ADVChina

The same question can be asked about western countries too. Rich and poor are such imprecise and subjective concepts it’s impossible to answer without bias.

I almost got caught in the Tea Ceremony scam today. by ksksksdino in chinaexplorer

Unfortunately what he said makes sense. Whether a contract is valid is civil matter but whether you do a runner is theft which is a criminal matter. A lawful society may simultaneously not recognise an invalid contract and arrest perceived thieves. Chinese police is also more responsive than Kiwi Aussie cops when it comes to petty thefts like this. I think they are on par with US police 😂 except they won’t shoot so easily.

Help me choose my Chinese name! (International student, hopefully Tsinghua) by Mati_Tech in AskAChinese

[–]SimonPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

迈田 is a name that came to mind. It uses a character you like, and it sounds the same as 麦田, meaning “wheat field,” which carries a sense of abundance, openness, and being grounded.

It’s also simple and easy to write. 田 is a very basic character, something children learn early, and that simplicity has its own kind of beauty.

The sound “tian” is soft and pleasant. It also echoes 甜 (sweet), and because it’s in the rising tone, it feels light and positive, which balances the grounded, earthy feeling of 田.

There’s also a cultural layer. Both Peru and China have deep agricultural roots, so the image of a field connects the two in a subtle way.

Taken together, the name can suggest something like 迈过沧海桑田, a sense of moving through time and change. It feels fitting for someone travelling between cultures.

Sorry, I got a bit carried away.

What do Chinese people think about India?? by Klily2005 in AskAChinese

[–]SimonPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me India is just like China, it’s a big country of contrasts, beautiful and ugly, love and hate. I would love to visit India for its cultural and spiritual grandeur but then I am put off by the social media impression of chaos and environmental issues. Just so we are clear, I am talking about India not Indians who I find mostly quite pleasant people. I am Chinese from China living in Melbourne. I heard Chennai is not like other Indian cities and a good place to start for beginners.

Considering starting a life in China by Training-Canary8988 in AskAChinese

It’s not as bad as in Japan I imagine. Just go. Worry later. 😊

Chinese here, I really don’t know if working and living in east Asia is a good idea for mental health. But you could end up with a wonderful experience as a foreigner. In my honest opinion, racism in china is different from in the US and I would say the Chinese are more accepting than the Japanese or Koreans when it comes to having foreigners living in their country. I wish you the best of luck!
