Pre-arrival Checklist​

1. Payment 💳​

Most of transactions are done via either Wechat or Alipay, some are done via Visa/Master Card, you wouldn't need cash at all. I recommend Alipay because it can be used to call cabs, navigate, book tickets all that stuff.

• Setup Up Your Alipay:

2. Phone Plan 📱​

Check with your phone plan company to see if you can get internation package. Temporary SIM Cards with unlimited 5G signal are easy and cheap in China, I can get them for you upon your arrival if you need it.

I was talking to my friend who does meditation on a routine the other day. I have always wondered why someone enjoys spending the time to meditate. His theory is that the idea of meditation is to focus on living experience because not everyone is experiencing living. He gave me a few examples:

• When you are enjoying an extremely fancy dinner that costs you 300$, but you know that you are having a technical interview tomorrow morning, you have to go back and sleep early. Are you enjoying the dinner, and tasting every single spice in your food?
• When you are drinking an amazing espresso shot, and someone is knocking on the door which draws your attention away from the espresso. Are you tasting the coffee?
• You can stay in the library for 12 hours and chatting with friends on Facebook. Does that count as studying if your library experience is not studying?
