Surroundings

People always need time to adapt and get used to a strange environment. As an employee, you may not be able to change your working environment (such as decoration of the office), but you can change the apartment to what you like. Cleaning keeps the apartment clean and tidy, and placing the photos, paintings and other decorations brought from home in suitable places will make the apartment more comfortable to live in. You are likely to feel depressed living in a messy and gloom space.

Sports

If you don't like outdoor sports, joining a gym and health studio is a good choice. Doing your favorite sports regularly, such as yoga, TRX and HIFI, can help you stay healthy. In addition, professional guidance can also help you avoid injuries. And if you don't like to go out and are not good at dealing with other people, it is also good to buy some fitness equipment online and exercise at home, such as a treadmill and a yoga mat.

Mind

You may feel sad working and living overseas alone since all the family and friends are not around you (physically), but you should not give up your social life in China. Actually, Chinese people around you like your Chinese colleagues and neighbors, are always friendly and nice, and make friends with them will bring you an interesting and exciting experience in China. We all need friends no matter where we are all the time.
