Asia

I have lived, studied, and worked in Asia. Having worked in both Japan and China as well as for the Korean government I have a unique perspective. You can read about my travels to exotic destinations off the beaten path including: Hokkaido, Cambodia, and Yangshuo. I have also posted plenty of pictures to social media including foodporn and gym selfies.

In 2005 I was an MBA exchange student at the Tsinghua School of Economics and Management in Beijing. While a student I toured Baidu and attended a conference. Later while working in Shanghai I studied and passed all three CFA® exams. I also attend a comic con and a craft beer festival.

So if you have questions about living, working, studying or traveling in Asia you should peruse this archive of blog posts below or you can send me a question using email or social media.

Coffee in Shanghai

Tuesday, August 14th, 2018

I’ve lived in Shanghai for over three years now and in that time I’ve drank a lot of coffee. I hardly ever drank coffee before I did my Master’s degree. But during my time as a graduate student I got into the habit of both studying and taking studying breaks in cafes and having a mocha.
