Imagine yourself strolling through the bustling streets of the Paris of the East, feeling confident AF and prepared for all the adventures that life’s about to send your way.
Savoring delicious street food, navigating the efficient transportation system, immersing yourself in the unique culture and lifestyle of Shanghai, and communicating effectively with locals.
A dream?
Nah girl, just years of trial and error documented by yours truly, your digital sister, AKA me!
Being the 3rd biggest city on Earth, Shanghai has nothing to envy to New York or Paris in terms of modernity and boasts a blended culture of the East and the West.

Will the cultural difference affect me? How about social life? Will I find my community? How is a black girl seen in Asia? What’s the school system like? What finances should I account for?
