When I was four years old, my dad moved our nuclear family to the West Indies to chase a potential gold mine in toy molds and toilet paper. Ever since then, I’ve been hanging out at the intersection of countless fascinating people, bold ideas, and foreign lands. I also happen to be obsessed with China and was lucky enough to live there for a while. This blog celebrates all the fascinating people from foreign lands who have been bold enough to bring their brilliant ideas to China. I hope that you link up, learn more and most importantly, ENJOY!
