In my time at Beijing, the city conducted many safety measures to stop people transmitting COVID. During my time at Beijing, although there were quarantines, the life is enjoyable!]]> 2022-07-15 00:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243703224 jishenandyg https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243704096 During 2022, I traveled to Taipei to transfer to Beijing. During the time waiting for the airplane, I truly enjoyed staying and sightseeing. I especially enjoyed the food in Taiwan. Very delicious.]]> 2022-07-15 00:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243704096 jishenandyg https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243705269 I enjoyed my time in Dubai. It was a very enjoyable experience. I did car racing in the desert, saw camels, and experienced the islamic culture in Dubai. Really enjoyed my two weeks in Dubai.]]> 2022-07-15 00:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243705269 jishenandyg https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243706219 I lived in Shenzhen for 2 months. During my time at Shenzhen, the COVID status was alright. There were some infections, but they were mostly contained. Love the Cantonese culture in Shenzhen!]]> 2022-07-15 00:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243706219 jishenandyg https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243707564 Living in Indiana, I once caught COVID. I quarantined myself for 2 weeks. After then, I was released. An unique experience to catch COVID and get quarantined. ]]> 2022-07-15 00:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243707564 https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243710780 I do not believe that Covid-19 has effected my family economically as much as other families may have been impacted. There was definitely a lot more social. emotional, and physical impacts on my life personally as a teenager. ]]> 2022-07-15 00:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243710780 jishenandyg https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243720608 In Hong Kong, the COVID restriction was not very harsh. Rather, my time during Hong Kong was quite relaxing. Traveling to Hong Kong, I really love the Hongkonger food and culture. ]]> 2022-07-15 00:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243720608 https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243750988 My life during the pandemic and lockdown was still the same in regards to the resources I had available to me as I was lucky to still have access to immediate needs such as water, food, and housing. The things that changed for me were more in terms of social and mental health as I lost certain friendships and got used to not having as much social interaction as I used to and once things were mostly back to normal, I noticed my peers-myself included- had slightly lower social skills and higher anxiety. In Northern VA, I noticed more people following mask wearing and social distancing guidelines than in other areas of the state. ]]> 2022-07-15 01:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243750988 https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243755348 The pandemic was particularly straining on my mental health as a tried to make something out of my time while having 0 friends that I could’ve felt comfortable opening up to or just talk to. Economically, while it didn’t affect us uniquely, older family from overseas felt the brunt as social services in the developing world are not as robust which means we needed to help support them as the whole world was closing down.]]> 2022-07-15 01:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jishenandyg/2nahthrtymi3tw5d/wish/2243755348
