There’s something about China that forces you to unlearn everything you thought you knew. It’s not just the language or the scale. The way things move. The speed at which people adapt.
I had to unlearn my perception of China. The people, the culture, the clarity with which they operate. The amount of protein they have in their diets, haha! What struck me most was how self-sufficient, and meritocratic the environment felt. I came in curious, I left humbled. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a privilege. An eye-opener.
I wrote a long tweet sharing my observations from the experience.
I survived 21 days in China, as a newbie with no Mandarin skills. The country's heartbeat is efficiency, and the warmth of its people left a lasting impression on me.
