Back in my detached English house in a village with 700-odd occupants, my two months in Shanghai feel as though they happened on a completely different planet a lifetime ago. There...
I realize I have yet to write an entry about my experience actually working in China (which is a big reason as to why I’m here!), which may be because...
It’s weird to think that only four weeks I was arriving and now I’m on the plane leaving Shanghai again. Going through the airport was tough for a lot of...
We arrived in Paris at the correct time of 6:30 pm after a few hours train ride and went for a lovely dinner early and then experienced meeting our hostel,...
I’m back where I started when writing the first blog post: on a delayed plane with some time to kill. I’m heading back to Paris now, but after Hong Kong,...
Within the world’s most populated city, you can find someone from almost every country in the world. Luckily for myself, Absolute is made up of so many different nations that...
It’s been some time since my last post, due to the hectic lifestyle of Shanghai, but I’ve had a great month or so of working, playing and not sleeping enough. So...

My first weekend in Shanghai was full on enchanting and memorable moments; it’s hard to carve in words to explain one of my most mesmerizing times. The Bund is pastiche of...
With Shanghai’s population just over 23 million people, I can only hope there is room for one more in this beautiful city. I arrived in Shanghai after a 14 direct...
Coming back to a city where I lived for 18 months is almost like a vacation, except for the fact that I have to grasp the idea that I am...
So I’ve now been here for 2 weeks. On the one hand, it feels like it’s gone by so fast, but on the other, I feel so familiar with all...
It’s difficult to put my first impressions of Shanghai into words – though it may suffice to say that I wanted to experience a new environment, and this city certainly...
