A Realistic Weekend at 36, Living Alone in China 🇨🇳
81 segments
Today, I want to show you what my
weekends look like at 36, living
completely on my own.
No plans, no social obligations, just a
little time to enjoy the simple things I
love.
In such a hyper-connected world, I
realized that true peace of mind comes
from stepping back and enjoying a moment
of pure solitude.
Hi, I'm Zaza. Living alone in China's
biggest city, Shenzhen.
It's Saturday, no work on the schedule.
Follow my day and see what a real
weekend looks like in China.
>> [sighs]
>> Chinese Kung Fu, soft on the outside,
strong within, are a great choice for
daily exercise.
This is Ba Duan Jin, also known as eight
brocades, a gentle yet powerful daily
exercise routine.
>> [panting]
>> Wow, finished my daily workout. So
refreshed.
I make it a habit to shop for vegetables
and fruit in the morning for the
freshest picks.
Either go to the local market or the
supermarket.
>> With restaurants on every corner and
delivery just a chat away, I simply
choose according to how I feel.
It's pretty hot today, so I decide not
to cook lunch and heading out to eat
instead.
>> [snorts]
>> Da da da da da.
Before lunch, let me grab a freshly made
fruit tea first.
Wow.
What?
Look how long this line is.
This brand was once the most popular
milk tea in China. They just opened a
new store here, and yeah, the line says
it all.
>> They're really good at combining
fragrant floral cheese with milk.
The result is light, refreshing, and
surprisingly delicious.
Amazing.
I am a total foodie, but I just can't do
this cattle flying.
Usually, a cup of fruit tea or milk tea
runs about 2 to 3 dollars.
>> Originally I planned to eat at this
rotating hot pot place, but on weekends
the wait is insane.
>> This is a Spanish uh potato noodles.
This tomato soup is really good.
Perfectly balanced between sweet and
sour and super rich.
More snacks.
Lately, this type of fresh food snack
store has been trending across the city.
>> Weekends at shopping malls often feature
a variety of activities
like this one, the young singers fan
meet up.
>> Most people might not recognize this.
It's a traditional northern Chinese flat
bread. We call it shaobing.
Actually, it's a lot like bread. Both
are made from wheat and baked over fire.
>> [snorts]

[music]
>> Hello from [singing] the other side.
Hello me, old taste me. I don't want to
be alone.
