I enjoy writing about my experiences here and about how comedy is a fantastic way to learn about and interact with China. The following are pieces that I have composed myself as part of trying to bridge the cultural comedy gap between the West and China. Many thanks to the many platforms and magazines who have allowed me to share my stories with their readerships!
