one of Golden Rules is, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you". 己所不欲勿施于人 Most of Chinese people are hospitality. But some are stupid and ignorant, those are not welcome to anywhere. 中国大多数人都是友善的。但也有一小部分人又蠢又无知，是到哪里都不会受欢迎的。
Dear Syifa, i enjoy your vedio quite alot, it gave ordinary ppl more positive engery to carry on , please ignore those stupid commets made by stupid ppl, they speak irresponsibly and try to discourage you from doing what you want to do, or , at least make you do things their way. Yinchuan is located in north west of china, and ppl there are more friendly compare to the chinesel living in costal area, so it should be quite easy to make friends with the local. my suggestion is to find one of your chinese collegue and try to learn some chinese from her, it would be a great way to get invlove into chinese society. your colleague and ppl around her would become more friendly and willing to help and share what they can offer.
I am an English teacher that works and lives in China, i vlogged some trips around China, but once i visited your country i fell in Love with it. So im considering going back and staying there.
So crowded (one cleaner), black sky, no trees or anywhere to sit down ... "misunderstood" - it's on purpose, and many 'vloggers' work at keeping those myths alive. Good to see and hear something true and real ...
Most of the hate comments are by the racist Indian troll. I have notice they created these fake account pretending to be a Chinese person or other races just to spreading their hatred toward the Muslim and Chinese people. Ignore the cyberbully haters or just block them!! Really enjoy your videos, Ms. Syifa. You're an amazing person and best wishes !
Thank you for making this video and welcome to my home country! China is not English-friendly. But in big cities, like Beijing and Shanghai, it's not very difficult to find somebody who can speak English. I understand you choose to live in Yinchuan city because it's the capital of a muslin province. As a native Mandarin speaker, I'd say it's kind of hard to have a good command of Chinese, but it's not so hard to learn some simple Chinese words for everyday use, which will make your life in China much easier. Hope you enjoy your trip to China!
I like that you still talk with your hands. So many youtubers speak into the camera only- of course sometimes limited by holding the camera but personality and communication comes across better this way.
Hi! Syifa why don't you learn more about Chinese language while you are still living in China today? by then it will allow you to understand better the culture and the life of the ordinary people there, while you are putting yourself in an environment that speak only one language by then it will force yourself to pick-up that language skill faster and easier, bear in mind that it will be must easier to learn new skill while you are still young, once you are getting older it will be a daunting task to learn Chinese, because Chinese is inherently tough language to master for non native speaker, believed me, Chinese language will become your most valuable asset in the coming years if your bother to take the trouble to learn it now. don't get intimidated.
Thank you Vitateh for your comment! With my current job, it is a bit impossible to have such course like that, however I do learn online and from my Chinese coworker and friend. Thank you again for your encouragement! :)
No, he never said that. Source? Neil DeGrasse Tyson did talk about Islamic history and the contribution Islam has made to science. They were the conservators of Roman, Greek, Egyptian science in fact. But over time, you got radicals that destroyed it. Christian radicals called Catholicism did the EXACT same thing from 100AD roughly to about 1600's, before the Renaissance period with Galileo. Radical Islam and radical Christians HATE science. That's a fact. That's what Dr. Tyson said. I studied physics and I know Einstein's field equation. I know who Tyson is. Do you? Do you even know science-history? Obviously NOT. And apparently you can't comprehend nor write English well based on your writing.
Hi Shifa, I read about your story and would just like to say that your courage and sense of adventure is really inspiring. I have recently done solo traveling myself in Japan for 6 weeks and it was the best life-changing experience so far! I joined WWOOF (highly recommended) and it really made me understand the true culture. Before this, I also traveled solo to Singapore. Exploring a new city by yourself really allows you to embrace the culture and feel like a local. As a fellow Indonesian, I think solo traveling is uncommon and even odd for our people because of the overly dependant/communal culture. Seeing someone like you makes me happy and motivated to push my boundaries. Wish you all the best for your next adventure!
For an Indonesian, your English is very good. I think the most challenging thing visiting China is to eat pork. Which country doesn't have its own language and own writing? For a country having the most Chinese population outside of China, I thought you'd know China better.
Came across this vlog first time today. You are very good vlogger. Now i am a subscriber. You speak well and easy to follow your vlog. Look forward to more. Stay safe.
Well done girl! I do admire your sense of adventure and independence in travelling and experiencing life abroad. Not many Indonesian girls do that. And you are so fluent in English and are open minded about other culture. I hope your travel will enrich your life experience. I enjoy your Vlog. Good luck!
Its very enlightening to see n know abit about Yinchuan! Was meant to go there for academic confrence years ago but couldnt make it due to unforseen reasons at the last minute! Thus someone from there presented my paper on my behalf! However, watching you Syifa talking from Yinchuan soothes what I'd missed! I enjoyed your video thanks n all the best to you!
Great video series, I would still recommand to learn Chinese, at least the oral part, once you can have some simple communication with your colleagues or your Chinese friends. Life will be a lot easier. As a Chinese who is working and living aboard, I do understand your difficulty, especially living in China. :D Hang in there, you will manage it for sure.
Tahniah, dik. Saya terharu sangat menonton video ni. Saya mengucap ribuan kata-kata tahniah kepada mu. I anak Malaysia dan walaupun berbangsa Cina, belum pernah berani lagi menjejak di situ. I can't read a word of Chinese, being English educated. I hereby title you the absolute coolest Malay girl on the globe! Much love. Take care over there. We are speechlessly proud of you! (Where da heck did you get your American accent?)
Congratulations to Syifa Adriana....for her sharing....imagine how I feel as a Baba Chinese....meaning my early roots came from China....Hakka...Fuchew Hak...to South East Asia...my early roots from probably from Indonesia....Bandung, or Surabaya or even Bataks from Lake Toba....Being 80+ I can't speak Hakka because my Grandma spoke Baba Malay to me most of the time. I visited China....Peking, Shanghai, Hongkong, Meximian, Guilin, Suchio, etce....8 times yes I love China today because the Colonial powers rule her for more than 200 years....imagine, Chinese and dogs should not pass this road....I can't speak Mandarin but can speak Hokkien and Cantonese but sorry can't speak Hakka....I love to know more about Hakka people....they are the rebelious clans and Guest people.....Lee Kuan Yew a Hakka Baba like me. Once again Congratulation to Syifa Adriana....you are most welcome to Melaka .....where I am....Old city in Malaysia.,
Welcome to China. Thank you for the great video! You are confident and thoughtful. Chinese people are friendly and we love peace. Please use you eyes to watch China and ignore the unfriendly comments. I don't really think they are from China. Best wishes!
Salam Syifa just come across your youtube video and it was so exciting because being in China for 2years probably this is my first time of seeing a foreign muslim lady here in china making vlog love your videos.
ka syifaa. whats up? im Timo, your junior at uni. we met for the first time in the library when i was complaining bout my grade and u helped me out by giving the understanding of how uni grading works. So happy to stumble upon your youtube channel. you are so courageous and i really admire your gut to live life to the fullest. take care in China and gluck.
Hi Timo! I am well thank you for asking. Was it really? I cant remember that well, but thank you for reminding and reaching out. How are you? All the best to you!
I wish you a happy life and work in China There are 56 ethnic groups in China Therefore, we must respect the customs of all ethnic groups. Every nation is equal, without the privilege of law. PS: no religion should be extended to minors (under 18 years of age). This is law
my bad, my bad, i thought it is indian city. anyway, if the governor is indonesian citizen, it should not be our chinese concern, the most china can do is to protect chinese ethnic if something happens again like 1998.
Hi Syifa, inspiring video! My family and I will move to Shenzhen this September, wish us luck. Hope for the best prepare for the worst. 🍾 Cheers from Jakarta! 🇮🇩
HI Syifa glad you shared your life experience in Yinchuan. I was born in Yinchuan and grown up there till 18. Now I've immigrated to US over 18 years but I still love Yinchuan a lot. It is not a well developed city compared with most of the cities around east coast of China, but it has more varieties in terms of people, culture, views, etc. Just open your mind and make some more friends -- you will see it is definitely a wonderful place to be.
Videonya positif, tapi tetap aja ada yang comment negatif dan diskriminatif terhadap ras dan agama. Tetap semangat ya, mbak. Semoga bisa mengubah perspektif masyarakat Indonesia yang salah tentang China (well, since the current political situation in Indonesia is blaming China of controlling the Indonesian Government and about the communist party and all, which I believe is a wrong accusation, and mind you I am not even a supporter of China even though I am a Chinese descendant). Sukses selalu, dan ignore aja komentar negatif yang menyerang agama dan individu.
Hey i found your channel about a couple of days and i love your videos! I am an Persian Girl and not muslim like the most iranis and persian, but you changed my thinking about islam a lot, alltough i will never be a muslim. Could you make an video about the political situation in indonesia? As well indonesia is a beautiful country, the human rights are not the best, like in my home country after the islamic revolution. I am a big fighter against the death penalty and hear a lot about it in idonesia. It breaks my heart if somebody murders, doesn't matter if it is a single person or a staate. Nobody has the right to killing. I am currently writing a book about the death penalty in iran and usa and i would like to know your opinion about that topic. Specially from the religion perspective, even i am not religion, i can not believe that the islam would support this unhuman penalty. Best wishes from Penang ☺️❤️
Good luck with your book! However, keep in mind that the death penalty was something very normal in former times which reflects in old books like the thora, bible or the quoran.
Hey I'm Indonesian 😊 Death penalty that is implemanted in Indonesia has nothing to do with religion. This law is aimed for drug smugglers and terrorist. I'm pretty sure, you've already heard about two australians who got death penalty after they are convicted smuggling heroin in Bali. Actually the place where do you stay now, Malaysia is also implemented death penalty with the same case. So does Singapore and China. Moreover just fyi, Indonesia is not islamic country, only one province that implement "what they call" sharia. The ideology of Indonesia is Pancasila that covers all religions, ethnicities and races. And that's pretty liberal and secular but not completely. We already being multicultural since before the colonialism came to Indonesia. The majority of indonesians are muslim, but that doesnt mean it's islamic country 😊
Well Dave without a doubt in my mind, all countries will be Multicultural. For now, they have done nothing with other countries but it's coming. For every Indian and Chinese who move to other shores, they will eventually replace them with Africans and Muslims.
Being a Muslim comes with a trail and obviously this mean a lot of people will hate on you. But hey that's life, we just got to learn to live with it. So honey don't let the people in comments get to you, they clearly have nothing to do in life but to chat shit about other people. From a certain perspective they're actually quite pitiful xD. Btw mashallah did I ever mention how beautiful you are?? Love from Somalia
LOL, if you think that then you have never been to America. I've been all over American and I'm still wondering where she learned what English she does speak. "the way they stare you". NO, it should be, the way they stare at you. Now don't get me wrong, I don't speak Indonesian or Chinese well either.
That's how Food Ranger started out his journey, landed in the neck of the wood in China with $300 bucks and begin teaching while vlogs. My guess he quit teaching and vlogs full time now since UA-cam income is more sustainable than teaching ESL.
why do we need to create new generation ? why things get obsolete ? why can't there be perfectness for one and all ? let this girl be in search for what is real and broaden her own awareness further. wish her well and safe journey.
religion is a teaching of life, It is a freedom of choice, dont be so ignorant. some choose to do bad but do not mean all is bad. Treat others like you would like others to treat you. Is that not a teaching and do you even have to be christian to practice it?
you have to do your own search and read and that infect is the 1st verse of the Koran. The Koran is the book of revelation by Allah to his messenger Prophet Muhammad (saw) and noted down by his followers and close associates . read and be enlightened there's no cause of worry, you can remain as you are and what you want to be. for this world, you want freedom of choice , you want Democracy for whatever it's worth, you may want grass for joy and happiness that it can bring, you may seek beauty and good health, knowledge and gainful employment to support your needs and wants. that in actual fact is not far from being greedy but that's security and yet, there are many more in life and living that is beyond our grasp. so read and be a fair minded person, read books of all religion and be surprised why we need to maintain orderly conduct and observed rules of law of the land, why traditions were established and why there must be a government in one or various forms and why should there be unity of all. and being Muslims we are also reminded of all those which are forbidden and things to be avoided unless it is completely essential for survival. all religion teaches us of being good and if you really believed in yourself and that you are good enough not to believe in God just be yourself, and ..........if you are your parents good child just ask them why did they bring you to this world or did they pick you up from somewhere ?
Hi, Syifa, I followed your UA-cam channel after your last video about Lanzhou with a British lady, Looks like you decided living in Yinchuan, Lanzhou is my hometown but I am not there now. Insha Alla
Winston Wang Hi Winston! Thank you for your support. In fact, I live in Yinchuan since I moved to China and Lanzhou was one of my travel destinations. Thank you for your support
Yes,dear but now I am live in Shenzhen and will back to Lanzhou on Spring Festival, if you need any help or next time will come to Lanzhou, really hope could meet each other(Not far from Yinchuan). Again really hope you could enjoy the life in Northwestern China, Can I add your Wechat? Lol(Email to me)

I just want to ask, why don't you teaches the uneducated Indonesia around Papua nor Borneo. Why should you leaved Indonesia country, and as a native Indonesia why some of natives Indonesia hates Chinese peranakan of Indonesia? As what we know some of natives really hates Chinese Indonesia because of theirs race and banned Chinese peranakan from political issue. Now, you live in communist country, what do you expected from it？ since as what i knew, chinese Indonesia peranakan has long suffer from discrimination based on their culture and religious believes....
Some people have different goals, and perspective in life. Just because I dont teach in Indonesia, doesn't mean that I dont love my country as much. In fact, by traveling, we all become an ambassador to each of our own country and it does greatly help the world in connecting different people and culture. There are already enough people with interest in teaching in some rural areas in Indonesia, and I really admire them. However, I have different pursuant in life and I dont think it does make me less of an Indonesian.
@verlya media She just have a different goal in life. Not serving the people in your own country doesnt mean you dont love your country. Her explanation is so simple but yeah no point arguing. Lol Get it done and move on.
Hi, Sayifa. I am Khalid. I watched your videos. You have traveled many countries. Your vedios are very fantastic and valuable. Especially about Muslims in china. I request you to visit tibet and make some vedios on Muslims living there.
Don't you have a family? Didn't they help you for your expenditures? I am also from a muslim country, turkey. In turkey a girl can work and earn money. But in general turkish girls dont work and get married about twenties. Their husbands work and earn money they stay at home as an housewife. How is Indonesian culture, why didnt you get married and become an housewife?
I have been financially independent since I was in the university, that was in 2012. And no, not all women are meant to be married early and stay at home to be a housewive.
Syifa Adriana I want to explain one last thing. What I said was not my personal opinion. It is only an observation. I have a daughter, 9 years old. She can speak english. She is also learning chinese in the school. She wants to be an engineer and I will support her as long as I can.
Turkey is a developed country where life is easy for ordinary people. So even a man's income can support a family. Not in China, unless you runs a business as boss of yourself. Women have to work to support the family.
Hüseyin AKALIN im from indonesia. what she mean is she trying not to burden her family, so she trying to earn money for herself and there is nothing wrong with that.
so exciting! lol, I am from Yinchuan and now is in germany. I can quite understand your feeling cos I also think german is hard to learn and find hard to live here, but we choose to keep going, so ...just 加油！
You are in fact a very brave girl! I being a Singaporean already find it hard to live in even in first line cities. But put a side any prejudice we have against China, China is in fact a very interesting country with lot to learn and experience.
The main point about China is 1. safety, safer than many other cities 2. good money and easy work 3. very interesting for travelling, food and meeting people... watch the videos of those who really move to live in China for very good reasons.
I am in Xi'an, Shaanxi province of Mainland China. If only internet was free it would not have been so shocking. Normal services, to which I was accustomed to like, gmail, google, youtube is really very difficult to access. Language barrier, Internet barrier. Cultural shock is real.
Syifa, you're so adventurous! You are clearly intelligent and curious so you'll have amazing experiences wherever you go. It would be so good to be able to learn enough basic Mandarin to break ice with people you meet. Look forward to seeing new videos from you. Bye from California!
Welcome to China.
欢迎来中国
This video clip is for foreigners to preparing themselves visiting China. Nothing to do with religion or political believes.
This girl is just telling her own experiences in China.
视频只是向外国人介绍中国的情况，让他们能有所准备，面对不同的文化等等。

所以，讨论请不要偏离主题
Whoever wants to talk about political or religion hatred... start your own topic/thread elsewhere, PLS.
想要讨论政治宗教等容易引发争论的话题，请另开新帖。谢谢。
Syifa, your spoken English is so excellent!! I would like you to be my English teacher, no doubt about that.
great!
Foreigners, please leave China
one of Golden Rules is, "Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you". 己所不欲勿施于人
Most of Chinese people are hospitality. But some are stupid and ignorant, those are not welcome to anywhere. 中国大多数人都是友善的。但也有一小部分人又蠢又无知，是到哪里都不会受欢迎的。
matrixbug i
Been in China six years and counting - I'm glad to hear you're not leaving, at least for the moment! :)
Hi Austin, wow thanks for watching. I have watched several of your videos actually! Congrats for your coming soon baby.
wow, haha 在这儿看到你了哈哈哈
Hi~ Austin~ 什么都吃！（ ：
Dear Syifa, i enjoy your vedio quite alot, it gave ordinary ppl more positive engery to carry on , please ignore those stupid commets made by stupid ppl, they speak irresponsibly and try to discourage you from doing what you want to do, or , at least make you do things their way.
Yinchuan is located in north west of china, and ppl there are more friendly compare to the chinesel living in costal area, so it should be quite easy to make friends with the local. my suggestion is to find one of your chinese collegue and try to learn some chinese from her, it would be a great way to get invlove into chinese society. your colleague and ppl around her would become more friendly and willing to help and share what they can offer.

So crowded (one cleaner), black sky, no trees or anywhere to sit down ... "misunderstood" - it's on purpose, and many 'vloggers' work at keeping those myths alive. Good to see and hear something true and real ...
FUCK UR ASS
It is "funny" when the uneducated make racist, xenophobic or just plain false statements in the comment section.
Awesome Video!
Very proud of you. Stay keen of all things and people around you, Don't get complacent in any way. Stay focused on your goals.
Most of the hate comments are by the racist Indian troll. I have notice they created these fake account pretending to be a Chinese person or other races just to spreading their hatred toward the Muslim and Chinese people. Ignore the cyberbully haters or just block them!! Really enjoy your videos, Ms. Syifa. You're an amazing person and best wishes !
سارة علي thank you and assalamuailaikum and i hope to be your friend
Muslim shut up. You are an anti-kufir racism
100% true
سارة علي not all indians they are north indians...south indians never do like that...
You sound so adventurous and things must be really exciting for you right now. Keep on experiencing new places and good luck!
good luck with your travels

Hi!

Syifa Adriana Go and use ANKI to learn and remember Chinese character. I think it maybe help you.
Young Tang: maybe focus on the hygiene and pollution problems in China. Oh yes, the constant spitting can be repulsive as well.
You should stop eating red beef noodle soup, the invention of the Muslims.
No, he never said that. Source? Neil DeGrasse Tyson did talk about Islamic history and the contribution Islam has made to science.

Thank you so much Diana for your support. Much much appreciated!
You are so beautiful Indonesia woman, make me remember my time in Bali, 3 months. Beautiful place beautiful people.
Balinese women are loyal to their ancestors traditions and religious doctrines, unlike this fake Arab woman from Indonesia
Yoshida Nicole why so much hatred towards indonesian muslim? you japanese people colonize my country and make us suffer!
Its very enlightening to see n know abit about Yinchuan! Was meant to go there for academic confrence years ago but couldnt make it due to unforseen reasons at the last minute! Thus someone from there presented my paper on my behalf! However, watching you Syifa talking from Yinchuan soothes what I'd missed! I enjoyed your video thanks n all the best to you!

There are 56 ethnic groups in China
Therefore, we must respect the customs of all ethnic groups. Every nation is equal, without the privilege of law.
PS: no religion should be extended to minors (under 18 years of age). This is law
is that why china is having border issues with 14 of its neighbours?
You can experience all of what you said no-matter what country you are at, it is just what you learn when move to a country outside of your homeland.
Free the governor of Jakarta.
jakarta india, that is a shithole
wen z Jakarta is in Indonesia. The Muslims jailed the governor of Jakarta all because he is a Christian and has Chinese ethnicity.
Skip the pump india and indonesia are democracy!
my bad, my bad, i thought it is indian city. anyway, if the governor is indonesian citizen, it should not be our chinese concern, the most china can do is to protect chinese ethnic if something happens again like 1998.
my bad
Hi Syifa, inspiring video! My family and I will move to Shenzhen this September, wish us luck. Hope for the best prepare for the worst. 🍾 Cheers from Jakarta! 🇮🇩
gorgodai fuck you!Indonesia killed thousands of Chinese 20 years ago
Get out of China, or the Chinese will kill you.
wish you good luck in china
Thank you Milan!
don quattrocchi she did not abandoned her country , just expansion of her life !
HI Syifa glad you shared your life experience in Yinchuan. I was born in Yinchuan and grown up there till 18. Now I've immigrated to US over 18 years but I still love Yinchuan a lot. It is not a well developed city compared with most of the cities around east coast of China, but it has more varieties in terms of people, culture, views, etc. Just open your mind and make some more friends -- you will see it is definitely a wonderful place to be.
Thanks so much for watching Kai! :D
Videonya positif, tapi tetap aja ada yang comment negatif dan diskriminatif terhadap ras dan agama. Tetap semangat ya, mbak. Semoga bisa mengubah perspektif masyarakat Indonesia yang salah tentang China (well, since the current political situation in Indonesia is blaming China of controlling the Indonesian Government and about the communist party and all, which I believe is a wrong accusation, and mind you I am not even a supporter of China even though I am a Chinese descendant). Sukses selalu, dan ignore aja komentar negatif yang menyerang agama dan individu.
Best of luck Adriana.
Hey i found your channel about a couple of days and i love your videos! I am an Persian Girl and not muslim like the most iranis and persian, but you changed my thinking about islam a lot, alltough i will never be a muslim. Could you make an video about the political situation in indonesia? As well indonesia is a beautiful country, the human rights are not the best, like in my home country after the islamic revolution. I am a big fighter against the death penalty and hear a lot about it in idonesia. It breaks my heart if somebody murders, doesn't matter if it is a single person or a staate. Nobody has the right to killing. I am currently writing a book about the death penalty in iran and usa and i would like to know your opinion about that topic. Specially from the religion perspective, even i am not religion, i can not believe that the islam would support this unhuman penalty. Best wishes from Penang ☺️❤️
Good luck with your book! However, keep in mind that the death penalty was something very normal in former times which reflects in old books like the thora, bible or the quoran.
Hey I'm Indonesian 😊 Death penalty that is implemanted in Indonesia has nothing to do with religion. This law is aimed for drug smugglers and terrorist. I'm pretty sure, you've already heard about two australians who got death penalty after they are convicted smuggling heroin in Bali. Actually the place where do you stay now, Malaysia is also implemented death penalty with the same case. So does Singapore and China. Moreover just fyi, Indonesia is not islamic country, only one province that implement "what they call" sharia. The ideology of Indonesia is Pancasila that covers all religions, ethnicities and races. And that's pretty liberal and secular but not completely. We already being multicultural since before the colonialism came to Indonesia. The majority of indonesians are muslim, but that doesnt mean it's islamic country 😊
Wow its my first time meeting a non muslim persian. Can i be your friend
Wow,I like your reasonable and real comments about China,of course,hope you can achieve a deep impression during in China.
I love this hijab!
I was talking with some China people in London, they told me they won't go back to China because whether is polluted particularly in Beijing.
Welcome to China
陈庆德 云大的陈庆德?
Well Dave without a doubt in my mind, all countries will be Multicultural. For now, they have done nothing with other countries but it's coming. For every Indian and Chinese who move to other shores, they will eventually replace them with Africans and Muslims.
So refreshing to see a gutsy girl... young too... conquer the world... spread peace.
I am a Malaysian Chinese.... i am fascinated with China too....
諸位同胞，穆斯林國家的女性能獨立走出家門，走出國門，我覺得是件好事。中華文化的同化能力有目共睹，何況我們的傳統也贊成有教無類。印尼排華的慘劇源自盲信，嫉妒和愚昧，既然這位女士看來有足夠的教育背景和學習意願，應該給人一個機會，瞭解中華文明的人越多，過去的悲劇才不會重演，難道開軍艦去殺五十萬當地人，大仇得报，就能阻值這些繼續發生嗎？我不是贊成白左一類思想，而是一些有意志改變自身命運並且願意接受不同文化與信仰的人，應得到善意的對待。
站着说话不腰疼
Tianyu Hou , well said.
zhenhua zhang I'm so sad that stupid guy like U in China
越虔诚的越危险，切记。如果她真的能以辩证态度看待宗教，反对宗教中的愚昧内容，那还可以
我得認同，其實 穆斯林是有段時間是很世俗化的，只因為是戰爭（多謝美國）令他們走回頭路，所以只和平，他們國家得到發展，就會和我們差不多
Hi, Syifa you’re extremely welcome in China, study or live here. Yes most of Chinese are very kind and sincere. Wish you a good experience here.
Being a Muslim comes with a trail and obviously this mean a lot of people will hate on you. But hey that's life, we just got to learn to live with it. So honey don't let the people in comments get to you, they clearly have nothing to do in life but to chat shit about other people. From a certain perspective they're actually quite pitiful xD. Btw mashallah did I ever mention how beautiful you are?? Love from Somalia
Good for u.i too teaches English in chins way back in 2009 but never felt like moving there infact I wanted to get out soon
Your pronunciation is really American!
LOL, if you think that then you have never been to America. I've been all over American and I'm still wondering where she learned what English she does speak. "the way they stare you". NO, it should be, the way they stare at you. Now don't get me wrong, I don't speak Indonesian or Chinese well either.
You are a brave woman. You will be successful. Kudos to you.
你上了中国网站的头条了，恭喜成了网红！
我也刚看到，根据名字找到的
Heiko Walter 中国从唐朝开始就有穆斯林在中国定居做生意。别学得跟那群脑残alt right一样，连中国1500年前的古人都比不过。
Hedgehog Fox 所以才有：国有难回必乱一说！现在穆畜居住区，晚上打的司机都不愿意去！
发生什么了？可以给我一下网址链接吗？我不喜欢极端的Muslim
Yan Li 呵呵，我说的话和“猪父狗母”有什么关系？ 少年，骂人最起码也要讲究个前言后语啊？
That's how Food Ranger started out his journey, landed in the neck of the wood in China with $300 bucks and begin teaching while vlogs. My guess he quit teaching and vlogs full time now since UA-cam income is more sustainable than teaching ESL.
thank you . Allah bless you inshallah
Thank you!
Allah is a creation of the imgination. Unless you can provide evidence. And a book of fairytales is NOT evidence of anything except fairytales.
why do we need to create new generation ? why things get obsolete ?
why can't there be perfectness for one and all ?
let this girl be in search for what is real and broaden her own awareness further.
wish her well and safe journey.
religion is a teaching of life, It is a freedom of choice, dont be so ignorant. some choose to do bad but do not mean all is bad. Treat others like you would like others to treat you. Is that not a teaching and do you even have to be christian to practice it?
you have to do your own search and read and that infect is the 1st verse of the Koran.
The Koran is the book of revelation by Allah to his messenger Prophet Muhammad (saw) and noted down by his followers and close associates .
read and be enlightened there's no cause of worry, you can remain as you are and what you want to be.
for this world, you want freedom of choice , you want Democracy for whatever it's worth, you may want grass for joy and happiness that it can bring, you may seek beauty and good health, knowledge and gainful employment to support your needs and wants.
that in actual fact is not far from being greedy but that's security and yet, there are many more in life and living that is beyond our grasp.
so read and be a fair minded person, read books of all religion and be surprised why we need to maintain orderly conduct and observed rules of law of the land, why traditions were established and why there must be a government in one or various forms and why should there be unity of all.
and being Muslims we are also reminded of all those which are forbidden and things to be avoided unless it is completely essential
for survival.
all religion teaches us of being good and if you really believed in yourself and that you are good enough not to believe in God just be yourself, and ..........if you are your parents good child just ask them why did they bring you to this world or did they pick you up from somewhere ?
Wow it takes courage, brave girl
Thank you!
欢迎来到中国，在中国我们尊重不同的文化，不同的宗教，以和为贵！
Lex 有时候一厢情愿的尊重就是迁就，尊重是相互的，前阵子唐山的事件我算是见识到了这个群体的可怕，国内的泛清真化也越来越泛滥了，什么时候不再出现什么回民专用，清真澡堂，清真牙刷等在来说什么尊重吧
一些傻逼 总是拿一些大道理来表现自己高尚。如果他是华裔或者基督抑或其他平和宗教。绝对无限欢迎。穆斯林滚蛋吧。我是北方回民区的人。他们做的孽真不少 尤其胡乱邦量少一宽之后。现在全家被迫寄住南方。没见过魔鬼不要被表象迷惑。
你好像不是很懂，现在习开始阻挡宗教了。
@@lidon8763 我就是甘肃兰州的，你一个人的话就把整个穆斯林带进去，有点愤世嫉俗了。我旁边的都挺好的，也有很多穆斯林朋友。每个民族和宗教都没有绝对嗯好与坏所以请不要误导大家
杨亚明 如果粪坑里捞出了几颗未消化净的花生米 ，你是不是觉得这一粪坑里的东西都可以吃，
Yeah. Sometimes you just got to see it by your own
ignore haters

Hi, Syifa, I followed your UA-cam channel after your last video about Lanzhou with a British lady, Looks like you decided living in Yinchuan, Lanzhou is my hometown but I am not there now. Insha Alla
Winston Wang Hi Winston! Thank you for your support. In fact, I live in Yinchuan since I moved to China and Lanzhou was one of my travel destinations. Thank you for your support

Great video, have a good time in China.
Welcome to China.
NO
Hi Sheena... Are u a Chinese
@@Mtrl-newer hello
good . all the best for your entire journey
I just want to ask, why don't you teaches the uneducated Indonesia around Papua nor Borneo. Why should you leaved Indonesia country, and as a native Indonesia why some of natives Indonesia hates Chinese peranakan of Indonesia? As what we know some of natives really hates Chinese Indonesia because of theirs race and banned Chinese peranakan from political issue. Now, you live in communist country, what do you expected from it？ since as what i knew, chinese Indonesia peranakan has long suffer from discrimination based on their culture and religious believes....
Some people have different goals, and perspective in life. Just because I dont teach in Indonesia, doesn't mean that I dont love my country as much. In fact, by traveling, we all become an ambassador to each of our own country and it does greatly help the world in connecting different people and culture. There are already enough people with interest in teaching in some rural areas in Indonesia, and I really admire them. However, I have different pursuant in life and I dont think it does make me less of an Indonesian.
@verlya media She just have a different goal in life. Not serving the people in your own country doesnt mean you dont love your country. Her explanation is so simple but yeah no point arguing. Lol Get it done and move on.
Hi, Sayifa. I am Khalid. I watched your videos. You have traveled many countries. Your vedios are very fantastic and valuable. Especially about Muslims in china. I request you to visit tibet and make some vedios on Muslims living there.
Don't you have a family? Didn't they help you for your expenditures? I am also from a muslim country, turkey. In turkey a girl can work and earn money. But in general turkish girls dont work and get married about twenties. Their husbands work and earn money they stay at home as an housewife. How is Indonesian culture, why didnt you get married and become an housewife?
I have been financially independent since I was in the university, that was in 2012. And no, not all women are meant to be married early and stay at home to be a housewive.
Syifa Adriana I want to explain one last thing. What I said was not my personal opinion. It is only an observation. I have a daughter, 9 years old. She can speak english. She is also learning chinese in the school. She wants to be an engineer and I will support her as long as I can.

Turkey is a developed country where life is easy for ordinary people. So even a man's income can support a family. Not in China, unless you runs a business as boss of yourself. Women have to work to support the family.
Hüseyin AKALIN im from indonesia. what she mean is she trying not to burden her family, so she trying to earn money for herself and there is nothing wrong with that.
like your video，hope you enjoy time there. Some people might be mean, but I believe there are more people with kind hearts.
欢迎使用美团叫外卖哦。
so exciting! lol, I am from Yinchuan and now is in germany. I can quite understand your feeling cos I also think german is hard to learn and find hard to live here, but we choose to keep going, so ...just 加油！
You are a beautiful and kind girl. Use your heart to see the real world, not from the politicians.I like you ,syifa.
Don't worry be happy all the times wherever you are in this country
very proud of you Syifa.. kita dihantar utk seluruh alam...best of luck. from Malaysia
You are in fact a very brave girl! I being a Singaporean already find it hard to live in even in first line cities. But put a side any prejudice we have against China, China is in fact a very interesting country with lot to learn and experience.
Thank you for your comment Alan!
The main point about China is 1. safety, safer than many other cities 2. good money and easy work 3. very interesting for travelling, food and meeting people... watch the videos of those who really move to live in China for very good reasons.
Kereeennn bangeeets...
Baarokallohu fiik ya my Syifa...
Semangaaat teruus review ttg keadaan dunia... 👍👍👍
Great. You are gave me joyfulness.
you can make more chinese friends, many chinese want to learn english,and you can help each other not only on language but also common life
you doing wonderful job keep it up sis we love you.
Hello Syifa ! I heard you spoke some Chinese on the previous video, How do well do you speak and where did you learn it ?
I am in Xi'an, Shaanxi province of Mainland China. If only internet was free it would not have been so shocking. Normal services, to which I was accustomed to like, gmail, google, youtube is really very difficult to access. Language barrier, Internet barrier. Cultural shock is real.
Syifa, you're so adventurous! You are clearly intelligent and curious so you'll have amazing experiences wherever you go. It would be so good to be able to learn enough basic Mandarin to break ice with people you meet.
Look forward to seeing new videos from you. Bye from California!
Alhamdulillah, semoga tetap sholehah dan istiqomah.
Sadly she fail!
Hello Syifa....long time no see...glad to see u....i'm Rudi Ramadani....keep posting....!
