Just landed abroad? What apps are missing on your phone? A list will save you three months of wasted time. For first-time students studying abroad, the first week's breakdown is often not about language—it's wanting to let family know you're safe on WeChat, only to find sending a video takes five minutes; wanting to listen to music on NetEase Cloud Music, only to hear "unable to play in this region"; wanting to connect with friends and family…
In the first week after landing, many international students experience the same frustrating moment: They land and want to watch a show they didn't finish on iQiyi—it fails to load.

During the World Cup, the first thing many overseas Chinese did was search for "CCTV overseas live stream link"—hoping to find a way to watch the World Cup live stream in Chinese on CCTV5 and CCTV Video from overseas. But the result was often the same: they found the link, but clicking on it displayed "This content is only available for viewing in China..."
Australian football fans are very fortunate this World Cup – SBS is broadcasting all 104 matches for free, and the time zone is extremely convenient, with nearly 70% of the games falling between 6:00 AM and 4:30 PM AEST, eliminating the need to stay up late. However, for Chinese and international students in Australia, one thing is missing: SBS doesn't offer Chinese commentary…
This was the most surreal match day of this World Cup so far.
