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.
Shoutout today goes to my buddy Travis. Although we might not have the same taste in movies, we do see eye to eye on a lot of other things. I hope all is well my man.
The essentials for Chinese dudes at the gym
These guys will sit on the bench press for an hour, and have a smoke break after each set in the hallway. This probably explains why they are so skinny. I’m pretty sure that grits aren’t going to help them really pump out that last set of 20 kilos. GO HOME CLOWN.
