Geopats: expats and internationals

New Yorker in China writes (replay)

April 23, 2025

The first year in a new country is always the hardest.

Evan did what I did, he took to writing a blog to sort out the think through what he was seeing, experiencing and feeling. In this conversation we revisit an early blog post of his from when he first arrived in China. We chat about dogs, language and so many more nuanced aspects of Chinese (and American) culture.
