Connecting with Ex-Pats

One weekend, I met with Bill Russo, a friend of my Dad’s at San Li Tun’s Bookworm, a very warm coffee bar/library. As the former Vice President of North-East Asia for Chrysler and a 5 year veteran of living in Beijing, he had many insightful things to say not only about the Chinese market, but living in China as a foreigner. As someone who plans to live and work in Beijing for a few years upon graduation, it was great to get a sense of what the ex-pat life is like in Beijing.
