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.
Commercial
Filmed an advertisement for an English school awhile back. Still in post-production, but here are some pictures from set
Llama Temple
Just finished reading “Midnight in Peking”, “We”, and “Animal Farm”. All very interesting books. Besides that, not a lot is new. Gym, work, and trying to avoid existential dread
Review of Contraception
Murder, Mayhem & More recently reviewed my novel, Contraception. Check out the review here
Panda Names
China has four new pandas and they set up a contest to name them. If the name you submitted gets selected, they’ll fly you out to the naming ceremony in Chengdu. I think my chances are pretty high
