    “I view them as tour guides” 😂😂 I loved that so much! I totally agree. What other way can you really get a sense of the city?!

    GZ reminds me so much of the Singapore I grew up in! There's a neighbourly homey feel there.
    Moving is always hard and overwhelming, glad you are more settled down now! Also, that hair cut is 😍😍😍

    hahah excited for you to turn the apartment nice and cozy! Lol it looked like someone just lived there (and work from home) with whatever need and didn't care about how it looked I upgraded the kitchen with my flatmate last year (new) and have seen then been cooking so much much more! Just some tiles and deco + organisers

    I think this is the first China apartment video where I'm seeing apartments within my price range. Tight spaces, buildings with paint peeling off, etc. It's really good to know that guangzhou has a lower price range available... But are such buildings generally available to foreigners who don't speak Chinese?
    In Thailand I found that sometimes buildings like that didn't wanna rent to foreigners.... It was kind of weird

    in brief:
    The video is a vlog where the creator, Evelyn, shares her experience of moving to Guangzhou, China.
    1. **Introduction**: Evelyn introduces herself and mentions that she has recently moved to Guangzhou, China. This is her fourth city in the past four years, and after being evicted from her previous home in Beijing, she is eager to make Guangzhou feel like home.
    2. **Grocery Shopping**: Evelyn goes grocery shopping at a local wet market in Guangzhou. She emphasizes the importance of grocery shopping to get acquainted with local ingredients and to feel settled in a new city. She showcases the fresh produce available in the market and gives a brief tour of her kitchen.
    3. **Building a Routine**: Evelyn talks about the importance of building routines to feel settled. She mentions that she hasn't unpacked yet because she's temporarily staying in her current place while looking for a more permanent apartment.
    4. **Apartment Hunting**: Evelyn shares her experience of apartment hunting in Guangzhou. She enjoys the process and views real estate agents as tour guides, helping her explore different neighborhoods. She showcases various apartments, including a vintage-looking one with beautiful tiles. She discusses the agency fees in Guangzhou and how they are shared between the landlord and the tenant.
    5. **Exploring Guangzhou**: Evelyn and her partner, Dave, explore Guangzhou. They look for a 1080p screen for Evelyn to edit her videos on. They visit various shops, including one selling old watches.
    6. **Settling In**: Evelyn gives an update after being in Guangzhou for six weeks. She mentions making quick trips to nearby places like Hong Kong and Macau. She reflects on the challenges and fears of moving to a new city but expresses contentment with how things have turned out. She encourages viewers who are also moving or going through changes to stay positive.
    7. **Conclusion**: Evelyn concludes the vlog by thanking her viewers and expressing optimism for the future.
    Throughout the video, Evelyn provides glimpses of her daily life, the local culture, and the city's ambiance. The vlog is a mix of personal reflections, exploration, and practical aspects of settling into a new city.

    Love to see and learn more about China!! I found watching the video the footage was a bit fast and shaky 😅 like when you showed the apartments it would be nice if you could take the shot slower or just take a still shot 😊
    It was like really spin spin spin haha

    Nice too see that you are united again😀. A few years ago I had to move 5 !times because at first we could not find something long-term after moving out of a flat share to live with my partner and after finding a long-term Appartment finally, we stayed 1 night and found out that there was a big issue with the bathroom (including structure)on move in day. So they provided replacement, but only for a few weeks, then we had to move to another replacement...and 1 move turnt into 4(!) .year of hell 😃🤣
