Psst! Don’t forget your VPN

If you’re planning on going to China to learn Chinese, don’t forget the internet will be censored when using Wi-Fi at your Mandarin school.

This means you can’t look things up on Google, let alone keep in touch with friends back home on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc, unless you have a virtual private network (VPN) on your devices.

Just make sure you download it before you arrive as the signup page will be blocked in China.
