    The Hutongs in Beijing do leave an unforgettable experience

    Hi there, new subscriber here! Just discovered your channel and have been binging your videos. I'm a grad student currently working towards the end of my studies and I remember my time as an exchange student in Beijing as the best months in my life. Now as the end of my studies drawing closer and I feel like I'll be stuck in an industry and job that I do not feel excited about, anxiety just crashes over me. Discovering your videos has really helped me though. There is a certain melancholy and comfort in your vids, that make me feel less lonely, so thank you for posting!

      Thank you for share your story Jenny 😭 I feel you!! I'm very much still stuck in an industry I'm not passionate about myself...but, if there's one thing I've learned from the past few not-so-happy years, that is you have every right to pursuit your happiness unapologetically, and you have it in you to make your passion a livelihood - I believe in you! And trust me, everything will be alright:)

    I am going to Beijing for an exchange semester next week and waahh i am binging your videos because they are so heartwarming and show a totally different side of Beijing that I have never seen before! I am excited for your adventures in Guangzhou, but I will first binge alllll your beijing content

    Hey Evelyn, another great video of Beijing👍 I am truly amazed by your ability of capturing the soul of this city. Anyone can have a great camera and fancy drone shots but to be able to capture the mood and provoke emotional connection through your script, that is the next level skill! Never stop making videos girl! I be here rooting for your UA-cam success!

    the peaceful mornings! i relate to that so much! i became a morning person from a young age, because I knew once my family woke up, I would lose that quiet moment. I'm glad to see that calmness still exists in a macro-perspective in a big city like Beijing!

    • @tapiocapress
      @tapiocapress  3 роки тому

      I always feel the most free in the mornings, and feel like I can do anything☀️ It's crazy that in a mega city like Beijing it's not a particular place but a point in time that you can find calmness...Cheers, and hope you enjoy your mornings wherever you are:)

    i miss the hutongs so much :( my au pair agency had a kindergarten in the hutongs around 张自忠路 and i went there everyday to help out a bit and meet with the mom and boy of the family i was staying with. I wish i would have had more time to independently explore the city, im sure I would have enjoyed it more. love seeing your perspective and you have such a nice way to edit your videos. thank you for your effort and sharing your videos with us!! 😊

    This video was so beautiful Evelyn! I was in Beijing for a couple of months in 2018 and I’m sooooo pissed not to have seen any of the little cafes and bars you pointed out - definitely need more content on these intimate little spots that you would almost have to be a local to know about 🙏
    Looking forward to more vlogs that I can live vicariously through until China’s borders are open again ✌️🌷

She might have heard of this already, but her interests seem to be a great fit for a fully funded Master's program at Tsinghua called Schwarzman Scholars - www.schwarzmanscholars.org/ Sending my love and best wishes to you both!
