Chinese Manchu Clothing Experience in Beijing

They said being an au pair was an adventure. They didn't tell me I'd be stepping into the pages of a C-drama!

Behold: my latest chapter, where I trade my jeans for the luxurious silks of a Manchu noblewoman. As the robes were fastened, I felt my modern self fade away, replaced by a royal consort known for her sharp wit and... impeccable ability to manage the imperial household-or in my case, help with English grammar XD

Surviving palace politics? Easy. Keeping a straight face while the kids giggled at my transformation? Now that was the real challenge. 😂

It's so relaxing for me when I read our au pairs making this kind of interesting diary 😆
