Searching for Peace in a Mega City: Shanghai VLOG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2024
- City living isn't for everyone- and whilst I LOVE living in Shanghai, China with it's vibrant and sleepless energy, I'm still a country girl at heart and can find the hustle and bustle of city life overwhelming. I'm sure I'm not the only expat to feel this way.
So this week, I'm on a mission to find peace and slow living in my daily life and take the time to prioritize the calmer side of life.
Is it possible to live a peaceful life in such a big city? Whether you're in Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Sydney, London, or New York, A balance between city life and slower living is definitely the way to go. I want to continue to find little escapes in everyday life and making more social activities outdoors like camping with friends.
We explore the stunning streets near Wukang Road to try the delectable lunch at The Cue, pop into Bites & Brews for a mouth watering lunch, and escape city life by camping and walking through our local meadow.
Locations in this vlog
📍Bite & Brews
📍Gongqing Forest Park
📍The Cue
Thank you for watching! ❤️

城市生活并不适合每个人--虽然我喜欢生活在上海这个充满活力的不夜城的，但我内心深处仍然是一个乡村女孩，对城市生活的喧嚣和忙碌感到有些不适。我相信我并不是唯一有这种感受的外国人。
因此，这周我努力在日常生活中寻找平静和慢生活，并花时间重视生活中更为宁静的一面。
在如此大的城市里是否可能过上平静的生活呢？不论你身在上海、北京、首尔、悉尼、伦敦还是纽约，城市生活与慢生活的平衡绝对是正确的选择。我希望继续在日常生活中寻找小小的乐趣，多参与户外社交活动，比如与朋友一起露营。
我们探索了武康路附近的美丽街道，品尝了The Cue的美味午餐，顺便进入了Bites & Brews享受口水流淌的午餐，然后通过露营和漫步，逃离了城市的喧嚣。
最后！别忘了一键三连喔！！！

Enjoy your videos! We moved over here in August and watched your videos before coming over. Love Shanghai so far.
Welcome to Shanghai! So glad you’re enjoying life here! ☺️❤️
Your paintings are lovely and would make a lovely framed wall hanging. I was sad when i lost my Scottish Granny (so many grandkids all called her Granny) but we have all those years of happy memories always in our hearts.
I see you have so many lovely food places nearby with a nice park making your area a great place to live. Such an enjoyable video.
PS ive missed video releases as i dont notice them in my feed so i will just have to remember and check for myself.
Thanks for watching! You’ll just have to binge watch to catch up ;) Check that the notification bell is turned on so you get notified of new videos! I’m not sure why the algorithm reminds some subscribers but not others 😅❤️
@@ExpatNatt thank you Natt, will do👍🏻
It’s just good to have someone side by side with you to experience and enjoy every day.
I completely agree ❤️
Cool drone shots!
Thank you! Just wait for our roadtrip series, we’ve got loads of great drone shots coming in those videos!
I'm sorry for your loss. The drawings of your Nana's favorite flowers look amazing, especially that pink, rose--like one. The bunnies are so cute. My cousins had a bunny as a pet, and I was always jealous of how fun it looked to feed a bunny alfalfa and carrots or to just see it tear up cardboard~
Thank you ❤️❤️
Your video is like the fresh air, after watching this, I want a camp with friends too.
Thanks for watching! We enjoyed it so much we went camping again today ☺️❤️
@@ExpatNatt I'd like to share the video but the thumbnail is just too misleading.
Very Nice Video! Nice city!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Shanghai needs to been seen to be believed at least one time in our lives!
I totally agree! Hopefully this channel can persuade people to come to Shanghai! ❤️
I saw my favourite Wu Kang Road (武康路) in this video. A little side story about this road: At the end of the movie “Lust, Caution,” after Wong Chia Chi lets Mr. Yee go, she calmly hails a rickshaw and says, “To Ferguson Road!” Those who have read Eileen Chang’s original work know that in the book’s ending, Wong Chia Chi was actually heading to Yuyuan Road(愚園路), while the “Ferguson Road” mentioned in the movie is now known as Wu Kang Road. Ang Lee must have been so captivated by this road to have changed the script!
Wow I didn’t know this!
Sorry to hear about your nanna natt, must be hard been so far away, your art work is amazing. I FaceTimed with my daughter today I asked her if she’s seen you around but no she’s not seen you. I look for her in the background of your blogs!
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
loved your vlog!
Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
@@ExpatNatt Thank you so much for your reply! You guys always make great travel videos!!!
The sandwich i had in Bites & Brews is absolutely gorgeous. highly recommended from miu
I really love your vlogs, it is so comforting. I am also living in a city abroad, you motivates me to explore the city I am living.
Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
Princess natt, cute lady❤❤❤😂😂

9:55 These are the leaves of the camphor trees. Their leaves will fall in the Spring. It's a species I like very much, it's fragrant from leaves to boroughs, especially the flowers, which will blossom in Late April to early May.
We also have many blossom trees which lose their flowers in spring which makes things so beautiful too. There’s always a tree around that’s ready to lose its leaves no matter the time of year!
Shanghai‘s Hyde park
There are so many great parks in Shanghai, some more busy than others 😅❤️
😀😀😀
❤️❤️
what are those eggs called? the ones with ember colored yolk?
Sorry about your baby bunnies! What are your plans for all those bunnies? You should know that rabbits multiply quickly. Do you plan on giving away some or can you set them free in the park you visited?I heard that property prices in China is falling, this might be a good time to invest. 🙏🙏💟🌹💖💓👍👍
Since the bunnies are at work, it’ll be up to my boss what we do with them. We do have a very big bunny house (next to our chickens!) but we would definitely need to separate the boys and girls 😅. Yes the property price is dropping, many landlords are reducing rent too. Unfortunately we don’t have anywhere near enough money to start thinking of investing in property 😭😭
@@ExpatNatt Don't worry, wait a little longer
Your videos are really awesome! 😊 I really enjoy your content. I think, as beautiful as your video is, if the thumbnails can be made more attractive, it will attract more viewers. I am a thumbnail designer, and if you want, I can help design thumbnails. Thank you!
Why such a nasty thumbnail ?! Why not say what you mean instead of giving the completely wrong impression ?? Most people will only see that thumbnail and not watch the video !
I watch simply because I wanna know what’s BAD 😅 . So it does works 🤘🏼
