learn so would you recommend this school
[Music]
after being almost 10 months in China I
finally got some time to show you guys
how my normal school day looks like as
an exchange student in a Chinese school
all right if you remember my video for
my exchange school in Japan you remember
that I had to wear a uniform to school
every day well the same goes for China
but I feel like the Japanese uniforms
look at least a bit more classy a bit
more nice the Chinese uniforms usually
have a pale color you know these are the
pans that we have to wear yeah there is
like literally nothing nothing
interesting to show this is the symbol
of our school it's called bait a trap
neutral and yeah but we've got two types
of uniforms this one that we were in
spring or in summer or this one that we
wear in autumn or winter so yeah again
these are the pants but now it's not
autumn or winter it's the hot summer so
of course I'm gonna wear this one and
before I show you guys how do I get to
my school everyday I realized that I
never actually showed you how do I
access the Internet outside of China
from here because China is one of those
countries that blocks a lot of sites and
apps from the Western world for example
Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube
Google snapchat everything that you used
like you cannot use that in China so
that's why I use this so here I've got
my phone no password obviously and as
you can see my Wi-Fi is all right so
let's let me do it let me go to youtube
for example let me go to youtube the
Wi-Fi is on so it should work fine right
it should work just fine and this is
exactly what happens every time when you
don't have a VPN on that just keeps
loading and it's on Instagram it's on
Twitter it's everywhere
so then what I have to do is go to one
of these apps and turn on my VPN which
also takes so much time this is called
turbo VPN it's a free VPN for everyone
ok
it connected now it's gonna give me an
ad or
and now finally when I open up YouTube
finally I can see my subscriptions
finally I can see the homepage alright
and the same exact thing of course with
my computer right now I'm on Google
Chrome I've opened my channel page you
know everything works because I had my
VPN on this is the VPN that I use in my
computer but you have to pay for it this
is not free now let me let me turn this
out alright it's off you see not
connected now let me refresh that
channel page yeah this side cannot be
reached so yeah this is what I have to
do every day and both my computer and my
phone I just want to say this video is
not sponsored by any VPN is just what I
literally have to do to access YouTube
Instagram Twitter and all the social
medias in China so every day on this bus
station I wait for the bus number 107 or
128 81 966 just any bus that will take
me to the nearest subway station right
there here it comes the bus number 81
the thing in China is that you never
know when the buses will come because
it's not written anywhere so you just
have to kind of wait
[Music]
okay so Iraq to school and I guess first
I'm gonna show you guys around a bit so
this is the school campus there are
people studying in that building so I'm
gonna go this way I think the school
looks very nice I think compared to
other Chinese schools there are
definitely schools that look way worse
than this one so yeah I think it's
pretty nice
also there's like a bamboo forest like a
small forest which is cool swag Oh
actually I forgot to tell you guys that
every day after the second period if
it's not too hot or if the smog
situation isn't too bad we go to the
playground everybody in this school
every student goes to the playground and
we do something called Chantal which
means do exercises while listening to
music or do some Tai Chi exercises so
yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna show that to
you right now
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
if it looks really empty here that's
just because I'm filming this while the
students are studying because otherwise
that it would be too loud here but I
wanted to address something a lot of
people were asking if I do have to do
their homework if I do have to pay
attention in every single class and like
not only Chinese or English but like
physics biology geography history the
short answer is no because I'm just an
exchange student so it doesn't really
matter what my grades are here or how
well do I do on tests but yeah I can try
to comprehend what the teachers are
saying I can try to like keep paced with
the class but I obviously wouldn't be
able to because I'm not fluent in
Chinese I'm just learning Chinese so me
being here has basically two two main
reasons for me to learn Chinese and for
them to learn better English I'm gonna
go to class now and see you then
so this is the class where I spend most
of my time when when I came to this
school this is the International
Department when I when I spend the first
semester and you guys asked me over on
Instagram questions about my Chinese
school and now I'm gonna answer them
swag
okay so first question is can you keep
your hair as long as you want yes I can
because I'm just an exchange student but
all the Chinese boys have to have hair
in the same way as it was in Japan if
you guys remember and have to show their
ears basically so that's the rule but it
doesn't matter for me because I'm here
just for 10 months can you go to the
rooftop well I can't go to the roof in
the sense of I'm able to come here
because the door is never locked but am
I allowed to be here I have no idea but
enjoy the view what time does the school
start and what time does it end the
school starts at 7:30
it ends usually around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m.
depending on if the if the students have
some extra classes or if it's Friday
Friday we usually have less classes we
like we ended like 3 p.m. it can vary
but the average is 4 p.m. every class
lasts for 40 minutes
rafi can you raid the toilets 1 to 10
well the toilets you know it's like it's
a hole in the ground can't really show
much because I don't want to disgust you
but you know it's a hole in the ground
our Chinese students friendly yes
they're super friendly at least in my
class everyone is
friendly what's to say I'm Chinese
students friendly yes they're very
friendly everybody talks with each other
I didn't see any cases of bullying
basically the Chinese students are very
friendly
and here are some interviews that I did
with my Chinese classmates with my
Chinese friends about various topics
