Family Life in Ningbo | China’s Growth Through a Foreigner’s Eyes

In this episode of JaYoe Nation, I share a full day of life here in Ningbo, China—with my daughter Eva by my side. We talk about school life in China vs the USA, explore Ningbo’s incredible urban transformation (complete with ripple-style expansion), and refute some tired Western claims about Chinese food culture—like “China doesn’t bake.” From chatting about static electricity to sipping real espresso, this is the kind of everyday life you don’t see in the headlines.

Also… did someone say sushi?

• Have you ever visited or lived in China? What surprised you most?
• What’s one thing Westerners often misunderstand about China?
• Would you ever road-trip across China in a van?
