Day 2 in China : Me and my country mate just chilling after we went shopping, this is like the second or third person to touch her braids. Translation of what she said was “it’s not snakes” she fed tf up🤣
But some lady at Beijing Railway train who I was sitting next to rubbed my hand tryna see if the black would come off.. so I gave her those puzzled but irritated looks and she started giggling to her husband :/ had it not been for the big ass bag I woulda got my shit and left😭
Naa I really struggled this day coz no one picked me up from the airport all the way to my school which is like 7 hours away by night train and I had to find my way and plus the locals were doing this all the way through 😭 BUT WE MADE IT!!!
However even tho it’s annoying and lowkey invasive at times I don’t think they do it from a place of malice but genuine intrigue because with a country over 2 Bil some aren’t exposed.
If you seeing this and thinking you not moving here or visiting here because if that, then you’ll miss out on A LOT of what China has to offer. Take the good with the bad and enjoy 😭 you’d rather be called a nigga/black in a language you can’t understand ( or handsome 🤣)

Yuno like after I had to transport myself from airport to school (alone and this first time) and like I slept next to this lads who TOOK my hat off and was touching MY HAIR while I slept
Day 4 in China: I MADE CHINESE FRIENDS, like actual friends who are all junior doctors in my sister school. they are giving me a tour of the city within the week and we friends on WeChat. Slight communication challenge but Google translator works 🤣China can be very rewarding !!

There’s plenty of videos. We didn’t make it about race and we won’t stand idly by acting as if the Africans there deserve that treatment
When I first arrived in UK my mom sat me down and told me that, no matter how non-threatening I may try to be, they will see my skin and feel threatened.
