visiting China's ice festival ❄️🧊 -27 degrees the coldest place I have ever been! | Harbin vlog 2024
the world's largest ice & snow festival takes place in the northeastern city of Harbin, in Heilongjiang province, China. as someone who has intentionally escaped the European winter for the past three years, you wouldn't expect me to purposefully travel to somewhere that is -27 degrees. but I did, and it was amazing!! I didn't film nearly as much as I wanted to due to how cold it was and needing to save my battery, but hopefully this gives a glimpse into what day 1 of exploring was like 🥶❄️🧊

where are you from? i'm british chinese, grew up in london and currently living in lisbon!!
what did you study and where? i studied classics for 4 years at oxford university & did a term abroad in rome at sapienza university
why did you move to lisbon alone? this video should explain things a bit more: czcams.com/video/QE7mqBOj1qw/video.html
how can you afford to travel so much? i choose to spend my money on travel and experiences & hope to show on this channel that not only can travel be a lot cheaper than you think, but that it's perfectly possible to work full-time whilst travelling! if i can do it, so can you :)

    Sounds like you weighed yourself after 7 days? If so, you should have weighed yourself after the first 3 days; I use this military diet and actually enjoy its ingredients and allowable substitutions. I like to do it in conjunction with a cabbage soup diet detox every 4-6 months and it does wonders to keep my weight in check; I also go on the wagon and don't drink alcohol during my diet/detox. A person has to want to go through the self control required for various diet and weight control plans; once you develop the routine and understand the benefit, it becomes enjoyable, at least for those who want it. Key here, ya gotta want it. Thanx for sharing your experience.

    (1) You can add no-calorie spices to the chicken (2) you could spray the toast with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter (5 cal.) (3) add 1 teaspoon of mayo mixed with 1 tbls. water to the tuna (25 cal.) and not alter the diet by much but make it much more normal.

    @oakdeepvastforest2924 Před měsícem

    I agree with you regarding not being overloaded. The core of learning and studying is assimilation. Assimilation requires SLOW THINKING. You have to take the time and ponder upon what you are studying / reading. Universities nowadays overload you with work, and this destroys any proper learning. It turns the so-called studying into a total waste of time. A lot passes through your mind and very little, if anything, remains.
