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.
My Fixed gear got stolen yesterday on the 4th of July
They left the lock they cut though, so that was nice of them. Watched the video camera footage and was able to identify them as a Chinese male. I’ve accepted the fact that it’s gone, Beijing has it now and that’s what it is.
Fixie Life
I had so many extra parts from changing my original fixed fear (pink&white) that I ended up building a new bike, sans seat. (pink&yellow)
The other bike is my buddies’, who, for 2 beers, gladly put my spare parts together
