Don’t make same mistakes

So last Sunday my friend and I saw this massive European-style castle-church thing from the road in Ganzhou and we were like “Yo, they built a cathedral here and nobody told us?!” Looked exactly like those old churches you see in movies: tall spires, stained-glass-looking windows, the whole vibe. We even crossed ourselves out of respect before walking in 😂 We push open the giant doors expecting incense and hymns… instead the lady at the front desk in a suit goes “欢迎光临” (welcome) and hands us a room-rate card. Turns out the whole “church” is actually a luxury themed hotel called FUHOME. The altar area? Reception. The “chapel”? Lobby with chandeliers. The confession booths? Probably some VIP suites now 😂 We stood there for a solid 30 seconds with our mouths open, then started laughing so loud security thought we were drunk. Took this photo right after and left because we definitely couldn’t afford to confess our sins in 5-star beds that night. #HafrikLifestyle #Ganzhou #ChinaSurprises

It's #FeelGoodFriday on Hafrik, here's my weekend chill spot in China! I’d like to recommend Qianshen in Suzhou—a super cost-effective relaxation gem: you can enjoy cozy saunas, a heated swimming pool and warm hot springs here. When you feel tired from soaking, free light meals and fruits are ready for you, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The best part? It’s really budget-friendly—you can get a whole afternoon of relaxation for just a few dozen yuan. It’s my hidden "affordable recharge spot"! #Funfriday #HafrikLifestyle #HafrikVibes

Today’s creative challenge pick: a little evening treat at Park Hyatt Suzhou 🍴 This spread isn’t just a meal—what makes it unique is how the warm, low-lit lounge of the hotel turns a simple dinner into a cozy little ‘pause’ from busy days. The lamb chops here have that perfect crispy edge but melt-in-your-mouth inside, and even the pasta tastes like it’s got a little extra care stirred in. Who else has a go-to spot that turns ordinary moments into something nice? Tag a friend to share their own fun food/moment snap for #CreativeWednesdayChallenge #MyMarket/StreetChallenge!

3 Simple Tips to Help Your Small Business Grow (No Fancy Tools Required!) 1. Focus on "micro-customers" first You don’t need to target everyone right away. Find 10-20 people who truly love your product or service, listen closely to their feedback—these folks will be your best word-of-mouth promoters. 2. Turn one-time buyers into loyal fans Send a quick follow-up message: "Hi [Name], we’re so glad you picked our [product]! If you have any tiny tweaks or thoughts, feel free to reach out anytime." A small, personal check-in goes a long way in making customers remember you. 3. "Borrow" (kindly!) from other small businesses Look at what other great small players in your space are doing—not copying their content, but learning their little winning moves: like how they chat with customers, or small packaging details that make people smile.

How to Order Food in China Without Speaking Perfect Chinese (Works 99% of the Time) Step 1: Open WeChat/Dianping/Alipay Step 2: Scan the QR code on the table (almost every restaurant has one) Step 3: Menu pops up with photos + English/translation Step 4: Point at pictures, choose, pay instantly Step 5: Food arrives in 5–10 mins. No talking needed 😂 Bonus hack: If there’s no QR code, open your camera, point at the Chinese menu, and use the built-in translator (WeChat & Alipay both have it). Magic. I used to be terrified of ordering. Now I eat like a local every day. What’s your best food-ordering hack in China? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #TalkTuesday #HafrikInsights #ChinaSurvivalTips

Culture Shocks That Actually Made Me Love China More ❤️ When I first landed in China I was NOT ready 😂 1. Breakfast is a full meal at 7 a.m.: baozi, doujiang, youtiao everywhere! 2. Paying with cash = getting stared at like I’m from another century 3. Personal space doesn’t exist on subways (instant group hug) Now these are the exact reasons I never want to leave. China feels ALIVE. What was YOUR biggest culture shock in China? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #TalkTuesday #HafrikInsights #LifeInChina

The One Sentence That Unlocked Real Chinese Friendships Before: “Nǐ hǎo” → conversation dead in 3 seconds. Now I say: “能教我一句地道的中文吗？” (Can you teach me one authentic Chinese sentence?) People light up, teach me slang, add me on WeChat, invite me to dinner. Works 100% of the time. Try it this week and thank me later 😏 What’s your best phrase for making Chinese friends?
