    Hey girl! I’ve been binging on your vlogs, especially the ones in Shanghai, loving the energy and they’re so entertaining to watch haha! I literally just moved to Shanghai and wanted to see if Shanghai has like a KZread community or hub, so I’ve been searching Shanghai related content on here and I found u haha. I see your latest upload was in Melbourne, are you coming back to Shanghai soon? I hope so! Would love to collab with you ❤️ ❤️

    侬好 Jenny~i was just trying to look up for some lecturing videos ou youtube and somehow yours just poped up! lol. I've to say your video made me miss Shanghai a lot, esp.when i am in Sydney all by myself while my gf is doing distance learning in China and parents are waiting for the border to open to come n visit me (and also those delicious foods OMG....) . I also missed your voice in KFM981, every time i heard Kelly's voice (the powerbank, as she calls herself, not sure if you know her though :s ) it kinda reminded me of yours! Shanghai is hometown, but still I am more in favour of Aussie lifestyle, which is much less stressful! All the best with your life in Vic n looking to see more of your videos :D

    I haven't been to Shanghai since 2010 so I'm sure a lot has changed! I think I'm still most comfortable at home in Toronto :) I feel like Canada is pretty similar to Australia with the balance of city life and nature - hiking, camping, etc. - and the authentic international cuisines! We just have bad winters LOL. I live in the suburbs and drive everywhere, but I love it! Hope I can visit Melbourne one day!
