If making it work was a person!!! That metal piece for the shower is genius. I never knew something like that existed. And, mama is right. The green kitchen cabinets add character. I love bright colors so it's cute to me.

China is the land of products that you never knew existed! I was on the shopping apps for hours trying to get my algorithm right to show me something that wasn't a flimsy shower curtain and wasn't something that I needed to hire someone to install--this was the PERFECT thing!

You pulling a whole water machine out of box is hilarious. Taobao is amazing and loved that you showed items and the prices! I immediately grabbed my phone and started photo buying ...lol ...Lime green is not so bad. Could have been orange . You made it home and that is all that matters. Rock on Ms. A🧡🧡🧡

Love how you set everything up. It's pleasant and practical. I was just curious...do you reattach each of the polaroids everytime you move? Have you considered saving the originals and making a reproducing them onto something else like canvas or plastic? For the record I always look forward to your videos. I travel vicariously through your channel.

Hi, Aleese! I love watching your videos. I start my TEFL certification June 10th and am planning on starting my life all over in China. I’ve lost a lot here in the states and have no ties so I thought…why not? I’m scared but you keeping it so real and being so brave boosts my confidence. Thank you so much

You really did well with the apartment. I'm most impressed with the shower door. I have been in bathrooms like that even in the UK. So this would be a great idea to keep the shower from soaking the toilet area.

I love it Aleese 🥹🫶🏾 I'm moving soon and was feeling super anxious about it. I'm moving the furthest from my home town than I've ever lived and watching you walk through your fear is inspiring and helping me to feel less anxious about it. Feeling much more optimistic about this move. Congratulations on your new place Aleese 🥳👏🏾 You're living out your dreams and I love all of the black girl magic you share with us. Sending you so much love ♥️✨🥂

I love your channel you remind me of my daughter she lived in Spain and wants to move to Italy. She is a traveler too. I am like your Mama (she has done an excellent job raising you) i love see our people travel. I love the green in your kitchen but I am a gardener ❤ so what do you think about ordering from Temu? Love yor enetgy and your apartment. A lot of military children are like you. I was a military brat. You will look back on these memories and love it. I wish we had youtube back then to be able to capture your friends and experiences to he able to look back on them will be priceless. I have so many friends I never found again as we older people are not on social media like you youngiuns. I hope you are backing up your videos so if this platform goes away you will have them. You brighten my day. I still travel mostly to Israel and Jordan and France but soon I will be expanding to Africa I think. Keep up the good work. Blessings❤

@AleeseLightyear
@AleeseLightyear 7 месяцев назад
OMG--I should do a video about Cheesecake Factory in China. There is one in Beijing, Shanghai and the Chengdu one just opened a few months ago. And it it is EXACTLY like the ones back in the USA. Unlike McDonalds or KFC, nothing about Cheesecake Factory has been Chinafied lol The prices are also exactly the same--which is very expensive for a meal in China!
@charliely1833
