Hi all,
I am studying Chinese at university in the UK and I am required to study in China for a minimum of 4 months in the school year of 2022/23.
I have a severe allergy to sesame (I suffer from anaphylaxis and have been hospitalised before) and a milder egg allergy
I'm wondering how I will cope in China since they often use sesame oil to cook there food? Does student accommodation have self catering or would I have to rent somewhere privately? Are there plenty of foods in the supermarkets that I could eat? Should I completely avoid restaurants or is there anywhere that would cater for me? If I had a bad allergic reaction would the hospitals know how to deal with me? Are there any cities that would better suit me? Any general advice?
Thank you!
Lily
