In this episode, FunFancie explores Shanghai with a mission: to beat homesickness. She starts by wearing her Thai elephant pants in the city, embracing her culture unapologetically. Her next stop is a Thai restaurant called Thai Gallery in the Jingan Temple area, where the cozy atmosphere and familiar flavors lift her spirits. She then tries Muay Thai boxing for the first time at PK Muay Thai, calling it a bucket list moment. The cold winter wind makes her miss home even more, but the friendly Thai coaches and the chance to speak Thai again make the experience deeply comforting. Later, she visits a traditional Thai massage parlor for a relaxing hour, followed by a simple but powerful tip: calling her mom and her dog back in Thailand. Throughout the video, FunFancie shows that homesickness can be eased by engaging with familiar culture in a new city, not by hiding indoors. She wraps up with an honest, heartfelt message to other expats: you are not alone.
