CHINA
Country Overview:
"A land of contrasts, where ancient traditions meet rapid modernization, and delectable cuisine coexists with complex political realities."
My seven-year journey in China, from May 2013 to August 2020, was a whirlwind of experiences. I taught English, pursued my Master's in Politics & Foreign Policy at the prestigious Tsinghua University, and immersed myself in the media landscape at China Today and Xinhua News Agency. Beijing was my home base, but my travels painted a vibrant tapestry of China's diverse landscapes and cultures: the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, the historic city of Xi'an, the tropical paradise of Sanya, the unique blend of East and West in Macau and Hong Kong, and countless other destinations in between. From savoring the exquisite flavors of regional cuisines to navigating the intricacies of daily life under a distinct political system, China left an indelible mark on me.
Happy Halloween!
Quailman for Halloween. Was it a niche costume? Absolutely. Was it worth it? You bet
De Niro in Taxi Driver
Only foreigners understood the costume but I wouldn’t expect Chinese people to have seen a Scorsese classic. For as much as people say that Halloween isn’t celebrated in China, it was a wild night in Beijing
Halloween week started today and as always, they were pretty excited about it.
Due to the fact that I have to radically cut my hair for my costume, I just stuck with casual attire until Friday
