Visit Beijing
Visit Beijing: 798 Art District.
Come with me for a topsy-turvy journey into China’s dazzling capital city, Beijing. I spent two years of my life teaching English here. Consequently, I’ve learned a few things about what makes this place and its people tick.

Like so many expats who’ve lived here, I’d definitely describe my relationship with Beijing as a love-hate affair. In fact, I’d say that in order to survive, you’ve certainly got to take the rough with the smooth.

Thankfully, there are many rewards for those with patience, diplomacy, determination and good humour. Some of the city sights are staggering, while the food is similarly out of this world. Furthermore, get to know the people one-on-one and you’ll come to see that they’ll do anything for you.
Visit Beijing: The Summer Palace.
In the end, I came away from Beijing with a wealth of knowledge, lessons learned and friends for life. Not to mention some amazing memories, a hatful of stories and, ultimately, no regrets.
