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.
Sorry For Lack of Posts
I’ve been quarantined, and pretty much doing the same thing everyday. Wake up, protein shake, exercise, run 1.5 km outside, protein shake, call GF, lunch, work, Netflix, call GF, sleep. As such, there haven’t been a whole lot of “interesting” things to post on here. Waiting for April 30 when Thailand is expected to announce the resumption of flights. After that, I’ll find a flight, get a COVID-19 test, and be on my way. Until then, not a lot going on.
