If you’re moving to China, what would you miss the most without a VPN? • YouTube 📺 • WhatsApp 💬 • Gmail 📧 • Instagram 📸 (Hafrik VPN keeps all of these accessible!)

The first week I arrived in China, I couldn’t access half the apps I used every day. Google, Instagram, YouTube—all blocked. I felt cut off. That’s when I learned the importance of a VPN. Hafrik VPN keeps you connected, fast and secure, so you never miss a beat.

Before I came to China, I thought adapting would be impossible. But after a week, I realized: if you can order food, ride the metro, and say “谢谢” (thank you), you’re already halfway there.

Which part of China’s lifestyle is harder to adapt to?

China makes you redefine distance. A “short trip” can mean 2 hours on a train. And people will still say, “It’s nearby.”

🎉 Hafrik Has a New Look! Dear Hafrik Family, We are excited to let you know that we’ve just upgraded Hafrik with a new default theme and updated design. This change is not just about looks — it’s about making Hafrik easier, faster, and smoother to use. ✨ Why we made this update Our goal has always been simple: to make life easier for foreigners living in China and to connect Africa with China, and China to the world. Hafrik was created as a platform where you can: • 👥 Find community – connect with people who understand your journey. • 💼 Discover opportunities – jobs, businesses, and collaborations. • 🎉 Enjoy life – events, entertainment, and culture. • 📚 Get guidance – tips, advice, and real experiences from people like you. We know how challenging it can be to adapt to a new country, culture, and system. Hafrik was born out of that need — to bridge the gap, reduce the struggles, and help you feel at home, no matter where you are. 🚀 What this update means for you • A cleaner, modern design. • Easier navigation across pages and features. • A smoother user experience as we continue to build Hafrik into the ultimate lifestyle hub for foreigners. We’re just getting started, and your feedback means everything. Together, we can achieve our aim of making life abroad easier, more connected, and more fulfilling. Thank you for being part of this journey 💚. — The Hafrik Team
