Wudaokou is an area in Haiduan District, northwest of downtown Beijing, close to universities including Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Some also refer to Wudaokou as a koreatown because many Koreans live in the region.

Many affordable apartments in this area. There are facilities available.

"Sorry, the apartment is simple because it is near the campus. I only know this. Om looks like a rich man, seems to be able to stay in an apartment like a season park apartment, the price is 19,000 Yuan/month. It takes about half an hour to get in the car. Said Ronald

"I know this apartment from a student friend because it's cheap near the campus and the hospital." Ronald says.

"Oh it's okay, what's important is comfortable."

"Come, help me shop to the supermarket." Bastian.

They walked about 5 minutes to the supermarket. They saw a food depot next to the supermarket. Bastian was hungry just for breakfast this morning.

"Let's eat first. I'll deal with it." Bastian.

"Thank you, sorry I'm still a student who likes to be treated." Ronald says.

"Om confused what message.the menu comes with you, you just say. Om can't speak Mandarin just say gong xi fat Choi." Bastian.

"I ordered seafood fried rice." Ronald said to the waiter in Mandarin.

"Surprisingly, from yesterday I use google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat. Though I have downloaded the latest VPN X since in Indonesia." Ask Bastian.

VPN \= unblocking apps.

"Every new VPN is blocked here. Not only that, even Yahoo, E-book and Video, Pinterest, if the blocked website is only related to pornography, anti-communist criticism, criticism of human rights issues. Hong Kong has always been a demonstration for democratic rights." Said Ronald

"I don't understand Chinese website, I need google translate, Facebook, Google Document. Strange only google play store application that can be filtered again. Dizzy like this. Don't know the news of the outside world." Said Bastian

"Just playstore which is a Google product that can be used here. It's also a playstore product that can be downloaded filtered again there are no Facebook products, Twitter and friends. So that can be downloaded most Chinese games and applications." Ronald says.

"Actually WhatsApp can not be used here, can only doang phone, can not share news, photos, videos. We can use WhatsApp because no WA phone we use country code Indonesia +62, if use country code China +86 automatically can not use WhatsApp. so use other country code." Ronald says.

"It is fitting that yesterday I could have a video call with my wife using a video call using WhatsApp still can." Bastian.

"Om, what kind of communication with clients in Beijing is because Gmail can't be used here." Ronald says.

"We used Swiss-made ProtonMail to send an email. Clients in Beijing use it to email to various countries if import export problem."

Since when did I block everything." Bastian.

"First Facebook was blocked in 2010, the following year one by one blocked.The Chinese government continues to strengthen its country's censorship known as the Great Firewall, imitating the term of famous historical relics in China, Great Wall (Great Wall of China)."Said Ronald

Ronald drank another warm orange.

"In 2014 Instagram was blocked because pro-democracy photos of Hong Kong protesters were scattered." Ronald says.

"China is also still demanding that Taiwan return to be part of China." Said Bastian

"Just pray that the relations of countries in Asia improve and get along well." Bastian.

"All students try to use the most advanced VPN facilities that use pay initially can actually be used unblock. Paid VPNs are blocked as well." Ronald says.

we chat with the WeChat app." Ronald says.

"It is true that we are isolated, especially that Wuhan is also isolated. If China, Taiwan and the rest of the country make peace, maybe foreign applications have been unblocked." Bastian.

"Yes, there is cause and effect. Why is it like this." Ronald says.

" I can't watch YouTube for entertainment. Imagine from the beginning of living in an internet facility or even YouTube. I don't know the news outside." Bastian.

" Our entertainment is Tik Tok. ha.

"So we make Tik Tok and Watch Tik Tok. I'm not the funnier type for Tik Tok entertainment." Bastian.

"Means you're a cold guy dong. om." Ronald says.

"Lha keep me want to use Google map how dong. can get lost I nih." Ask Bastian.

"Students use Baidu Map, but free om can not write Mandarin anyway. Baidu as a replacement for Google's search engine, Weibo as a replacement for Facebook and Twitter. Youku Todou YouTube replacement." Ronald says.

" I think with the latest VPN download it can, but only unblock a day - two days only." Bastian.

"We Indonesian students finally use Telkomsel Roaming. Om already using Telkomsel just register via internet roaming package. We once bought a VPN that paid to be blocked." Ronald says.

"OK, I'll register my phone number to Telkomsel Roaming on Telkomsel's website." Bastian.

(I'm sorry, Author didn't mean to promote, but to find a way to communicate. Poor Bastian can't use the Chinese app. We need Google)

Bastian and Ronald finally finished eating and drinking warm oranges. Bastian and Ronald went to the supermarket to buy masks, toothpaste, hand sanitizers, soap, shampoo, instant noodles, canned food, rice, vegetables, mineral water and rice cooker.

Bastian bought 5 masks, a single hand sanitizer 3 pieces. Other items only need 1 fruit, instant noodles 1 prayer, vegetables and chicken for Sop.

"The material associated with the self-protection of Covid-19 is scarce." Ronald says.

"Thank you for helping me a lot and bringing stuff" Bastian said.

"To the apartment bring a lot of heavy items home so it feels a long time later. I brought 2 bags of rice and brought this little box of rice cooker and this little bag alone." Ronald says.

5 minutes later we got to the apartment, Bastian gave tips tired money again for Ronald.

" Thank you, I'll go home first. This is my WeChat number. China phone number, if WhatsApp number Telkomsel Indonesian phone code. Understandably International phones are expensive." Ronald says.

Ronald wrote a WeChat phone number on the paper.

Then Bastian entered Ronald's phone number on WeChat.

"Om, I'm going back to the dorm first. I want to continue with the thesis." Ronald says.

"Yes, thank you for your help and guidance. I can go to the supermarket myself." Bastian.
