Nahana's journey to China in 2025 began with an unexpected two-hour delay at customs due to inaccessible hotel booking information because of the ban on Google. This initial hurdle set the stage for a series of surprising discoveries. Navigating Shanghai with banned apps highlighted the challenges and adaptability required for a foreigner. The contrast between the bustling Bund and the quiet area near her hotel underscored Shanghai's diverse character.

She encountered the convenience of robot food delivery, a testament to China's technological advancements. The experience of ordering food via an app and having it delivered by a robot to her hotel room was a highlight.
