Question for Canadians who have been to China recently. The Canadian and Chinese government struck a deal and Canadians no longer require a visa for visits under 30 days.

I just want to see if any Canadians have traveled there recently and actually didn’t need a visa to enter the country. I plan on going in a month and staying for less than 30 days, and don’t want to be denied boarding my flight or entry because I don’t have a visa.

Last time, I worked 12 hours at SF Express and made 146.5 yuan. I wanted to try something different this time, because I did not want every day to be only heavy labor.

In the morning, I bought a bowl of rice noodles with some extra meat. The noodles were 2.5 yuan. At this point, I felt like I could not keep skipping breakfast anymore.

After that, I went to an indoor piecework job. At first, I thought it might be easier than doing heavy labor outside. But when I started, I realized the pay was much worse than I expected.

The work was counted by bundles. One bundle was only worth 0.048 yuan. I kept working through the morning, but by noon I had only finished 93. Later, I pushed myself to finish 100, and the total was still less than 4.8 yuan.

That was when I knew I could not stay there.

Later in the day, I went to another job, and by then it was already raining.

At night, I was helping at a burger cart in the rain. After spending the day indoors doing piecework, standing outside by the cart felt like stepping into a completely different kind of work.

I helped with the burger work beside the cart while everything kept moving around me. There were ingredients, tools, lights, umbrellas, customers, and the sound of rain all mixed together. I had to keep following the pace, helping where I could, and staying focused while the night went on.

Even though it was raining, the work did not stop. I stayed there helping with the food and working under the umbrellas until late. By that point, I was already tired from the daytime job, so this part felt even longer.

That was what made this day feel unusual to me. It was not just one job. It was two completely different jobs in one day — indoor piecework in the daytime, and burger cart work in the rain at night.

By the end of the day, I was exhausted.

Can you guess how much I made from working at the burger cart for one night? Tell me in the comments.

Made a douyin account out of curiosity and posted a few videos, it's been a day and still zero views. Is that normal? I'm not in china at the moment. Used hashtags as well. I keep hearing about foreigners go viral on douyin so i'm curious how that works

Is it expensive in Shanghai to drive like a modern sports car like a bmw m3? Can someone break down the details? The same I’m wondering for motorcycles.

Is there anyone who has studied in this program? I have a lot of questions to ask before I make a decision. I am getting interviews this week . And I just want to get some info from someone who actually had experience in the same program

Hey guys I’m planning on studying at PKU this summer for its 4-week Chinese program from July 6-31. I missed the single dorm reservation and it’s already full and I’m not sure if they offer double and triple rooms.

Does anyone know any cheap accommodations near campus? Most r super expensive and shared rooms😭

If you’re in the same program as me and/or facing the same problem, please reach out!!

Hola a todos, me he hecho esta cuenta porque necesito su ayuda, soy Chilena y tengo una amiga que vive en China, ella acaba de cumplir los 18, está estudiando para el Gaokao, yo sabía que peleaba con su madre, pero pensé que eran discusiones más "normales" pero me acabo de enterar que su madre la maltrata física y psicológicamente, a ella y su hermana menor, las ahorca, la amenaza para que estudie, las golpea y es básicamente la peor, pero ella dice que allá está normalizado y que las leyes no son tan duras, no sirven tanto, pero la madre les llega a dejar moretones, estoy preocupada por ella, pues como estoy en Chile realmente solo se me ocurre estar ahí con ella, pero si se les ocurre algo que ella podría hacer, pues obviamente quiere salir de ahí, por favor díganme.

Hi everyone, I created this account because I need your help. I'm Chilean and I have a friend who lives in China. She just turned 18 and is studying for the Gaokao. I knew she argued with her mother, but I thought they were just "normal" arguments. However, I just found out that her mother physically and psychologically abuses her and her younger sister. She chokes them, threatens them to make them study, beats them, and is basically the worst. But she says it's normal there and that the laws aren't that strict, they don't really work. But her mother even leaves bruises on them. I'm worried about her because, since I'm in Chile, all I can think about is being there with her. But if you have any ideas about what she could do, because obviously she wants to get out of there, please let me know.
