CHINA
Country Overview:
“Love the food, hate the government”
I arrived in China in May 2013 and left August 2020. I taught English for awhile, did my master’s of politics & foreign policy at Tsinghua University, worked for a year at China Today, and then two years at Xinhua News Agency. I spent most of my time in Beijing, but also traveled to Shanghai, Wuhan, Inner Mongolia, Shenzhen, Panjin, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Qingdao, Xi’an, Sanya, Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Was an extra in a Cadilliac commercial this morning at 4am
I played the part of a paparazzi as “the talent” walked out of a book signing. Basically got paid a lot of money to press the flash button on a camera. Cool to see how everything worked and how many people are actually involved in a production like this. Looking forward to seeing the end result soon!
