spend a day in Guangzhou, China with me and my boyfriend, where we speak ONLY Chinese to each other for 24 hours! we'll show you what a day in our lives in China is like, take you to our favorite spots in Guangzhou, and have a real chat about language, culture & living in China.

also very important question - did you think i have different personalities speaking Chinese vs speaking English? lmk in the comments👀
