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.

Iron Man

This was outside of a bar, with no movie theater in sight. And since the movie has been out for awhile, I came to 2 conclusions. Either they really like the big Iron man suit, or they are too lazy to take it down.

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.

Me:Yeah but what about movies with 3, uhhhh triquels...
Friend:I think you're looking for 'trilogy'
I am slowly losing English
