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.
2 highlights from the Beijing Zoo today. SUPER hot, but that didn’t stop thousands of Chinese people from going. Quick observation, I’ve never seen so many push each other to get a glimpse of a giraffe.
Color Run is tomorrow and I’m stoked. I hate running, but it’ll be a good reason to be outside and see a new area of Beijing.
