Three things I wish someone had told me before moving to China: 1. Your Chinese will be worse than you think for longer than you think. And that is completely okay. 2. The friends you make in the first three months will be different from the friends you actually keep. Both matter. 3. The discomfort you feel right now is not a sign that you made the wrong decision. It is a sign that you are growing. What would you add to this list?

We are excited to announce that our official full native Hafrik app will be launching in 10 days. Hafrik is an all-in-one platform built to make life in China easier for foreigners, students, entrepreneurs, and travelers. From services and jobs to housing, city guides, business, and community, Hafrik connects you to everything you need in one place. This is not just a platform, it’s a community and a support system for anyone living in or moving to China. The countdown has begun. 10 days to go. Stay tuned for the official launch. www.hafrik.com
