The guys work the hardest in China
Because even in rain and snow they still deliver

Let us settle something today.
What is actually the hardest city to live in as a foreigner in China?
Not the hardest to visit. The hardest to actually build a life in.
Comment your answer and tell me why. I have my own opinion but I want to hear yours first.

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?

Yo, made new friends, it was quite easy making new connections, not just people to talk to, but people with various possible opportunities to offer. With this 3 things you could connect quickly when you meet new people, remember in china, and basically anywhere in the world, to be ahead you need people who know more than you do in such a field or pursuit.
1 - when you say hi/hello ( basically greetings) remember to comment on something they're wearing or something you could highlight about them. eg " hi, good day, I love this blazers though, looking real good" then your name and blah blah blah you go on
2 - make sure you have quality questions planned always, (create a frame work) many people don't have any sort of frame work, they say " just go with the flow" as much as this sounds doable, make sure you have a framework, eg firstly ask where they're from, second, their name, then repeat Thier name twice and up to 4 times in the conversation ( very important).
And lastly but not the least
3 - ask about what they do, and listen like your life depends on it, then you can ask if you could take a picture, (after the whole discussion though) then ask for their WeChat/WhatsApp so you could send it to them, remember you are trying to build a connection, so enjoy the whole thing👋,
Give us some of your guidelines on how to reach out to some new.

A lot of people are paying way more than they should for products and shipping.
Not because prices are high, but because they don’t have the right access to suppliers.

I have a question guys: Can someone that came into China with a Canton Fair Visa extend their visa to maybe a work visa or so. Asking for some of my friends

Less than 24 hours to launch.

On the 13th, we made the decision to push forward and officially launch the full native Hafrik app.

Since then, it’s been intense.

Not just building and fixing things, but constantly thinking:
Are we doing this the right way?
Is there anything we’re missing?
Can this be better?

One thing I’ve learned through this process:

Clarity doesn’t come before you start.
It comes as you build.

The more you build, the clearer the vision becomes.
The clearer the direction becomes.

But even with that clarity, there’s still a certain pressure that comes with bringing something real into the world. Especially when you know people are going to depend on it.

The past two weeks have also come with challenges, especially with app store approvals. It hasn’t been smooth.

But we’re here now.

And we’re ready.

Hafrik is more than just an app.
It’s a platform built to connect people to opportunities, services, and a community, starting from China and expanding globally.

If everything goes as planned, we go live very soon.

Let’s see how it unfolds.

You think Apple products are cheap in China.

Living in a new country can quietly turn into a routine of work and home, class and home. Before you know it, months pass and you’ve met almost no one outside your small circle.

If you’re in China, don’t let that happen.

Opportunities here rarely show up through isolation. They come through conversations, shared meals, events, collaborations, introductions, and simply being visible. The people you meet today can open doors you didn’t even know existed tomorrow.

Go out. Attend that meetup. Join that community. Start the conversation.
Don’t just survive in China. Build something here.
