An Expat in China

What’s life really like as an Expatriate? More specifically, what’s it like to live and work in China? As I am asked regularly about my 7 years in China, I decided to draw on blogs and articles that I wrote, not to mention a guide book about Beijing*, to put together a series of podcasts all about what life is really like there. Please feel free to give feedback or ask any questions. New episodes will be added every day. *An Englishman in Beijing by Brian Salter Available on Taobao at https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=675304960828&spm=a21dvs.23580594.0.0.3f062c1bQ6bPG5&skuId
