Hello everyone, To those who have worked with Chinese and Indians in Nigeria before, we all believe they are the worst set of people to have as boss. Infact in one interview I went for in Nigeria, one guy on hearing that the company is managed by Indians left without even doing the interview. 3 Likes |

But here they seem to be more nice and less arrogant. The picture below is a Chinese guy that helped me with my luggage to my school. Dont mind me, I ought to take taxi from the airport directly to the school, instead took a bus. Why? 20 Likes

I bought a sim card at the airport 150 rmb, like 7500 naira, with some calling credit and 4 gig browsing subscriptions for a month. Needs to be recharged every month at 50rmb. However in the city, I bought another sim card 300rmb. It come with 2 years calling credit and 30 gig 4G data and unlimited 3G data if the 4G is exhausted every month. No need to buy data or recharge it. It came with a phone as gift. You cannot use it to call international number however. Which is better? 38 Likes 1 Share

Davidson5:Thanks. I didnot however calculate the rate as it is not really necessary. Data is close to being unlimited. Though I have connectivity issue at times but was told it is because of the phone from another country I am using. 5 Likes |

A great thread!. I am enjoying every bit. However, what culture shock did you experience as a black person? 1 Like 1 Share |

China has gone so far. To think a Chinese youth of my age grew up seeing massive development and infrastructure change while my African mates just kept on seeing chaos on chaos ![]() 34 Likes 3 Shares |

I appreciate the effort you put into narrating the process to applying for the scholarship. Most Nigerians wouldn't do same (I've had enough experiences which made me say such). Kudos. 38 Likes 1 Share |

themaestro08: Culture Shock! No doubt, the place is very different from our country especially places like Lagos, I was not really shocked because I have always longed for a place like this. I find it hard to cope in Lagos. I however enjoyed my stay in Abuja for the small time I spent visiting. I will list some difference though. Food. This is my biggest challenge right now. I am finding it hard to adjust to the cuisine. Thank God I brought some food along. Though some of the food are close to ours, majority are wide apart. There are African foods market too too but expensive. The meal below is egg in soup and fried potato. Safety and security. The place really looks safe and serene. You do not need to be over-careful or watchful. A lot of young Chinese use their phones while working on the road without any car hitting them, no car blares horn anyhow like that too. I ordered stuff online, it was dropped at the entrance. There is no fear that someone will steal it in most cases. However the most challenging situation faced by all is the language barrier. Most dont understand nor speak English except you are in an international environment. 30 Likes 1 Share

FA13: Thanks, as for recommendation letter, can't we use that of a lecturer instead of a professor/assisitant. the profs in my school back in the days are not approachable. have 3 lecturer that can give me recommendationsletter |
Re: Life in Beijing As an International Student. by FA13(m): 8:34am On Sep 15, 2019 |
Lens101: It depends on your school. But most lecturers outside Nigeria are given assistant professor once they have a PhD. So get a Dr. at least. Also, most of our professors are as you have narrated. But as a graduate student some are nicer than they look in school. There was a professor in my department that you can't just go and meet during my school days. Someone however told me to meet him for reference. You will be surprised with the readiness he helped me write it. He would even call or text me to supply any info needed. So u dont have anything to lose by contacting them. The worst that can happen is he would not respond and you might be surprised like me! 18 Likes 2 Shares |
