Description
Today we talk to friends of the show Jackie Wang and Andrew Trapp.  We discuss Andrew's decision to leave China after over a decade and Jackie's renewed perspective after leaving to live abroad and now returning to Shanghai on a visit.  We talk about the factors behind Andrew deciding to move back to America and reflect on his time living in China; what he learned  enjoyed, will miss, and won't miss.  We also talk about the small day-to-day experiences and also bigger things like personal growth and worldview.  We share what brought us to China in the first place and how we've changed by being here.  We also talk about preparing for reverse culture shock when going back to the US after living abroad for so long.  We talk about the idea of rebuilding your life with a fresh start by moving to another country.  We joke about more practical matters like getting a car and figuring out tipping etiquette.  Aric and Jackie give emotional goodbyes to their close friend who will be missed. ____________________ 下载节目文字版: Episode Transcripts ____________________ If you enjoy this show don't forget to leave a rating and subscribe! 小红书: THD The Honest Drink Follow Us On Instagram: @thehonestdrink_ Join Us On WeChat: THD_Official Email: [email protected] Find us on: Spotify, Apple, Google Podcasts, YouTube, 小宇宙, 喜马拉雅, 网易云音乐, 小红书, Bilibili or anywhere you get your podcasts.
