I decided to make the plunge and move from New York to Shanghai in August 2006 to get some international experience and also to improve my chinese.
The focus of this blog is as follows
1) Make observations about cultural differences between china and the US whether it be business or personal
2) How has my prevoius experiences, including my MBA prepared me for the big unfamiliar competitive business world of china

I like those “observations”. I could find out how you westerners view Shanghai here.
Neat! I’m an ABC from Boston as well. About the same age: 24/m and I probably know about as much chinese as you do. As I get older, I want to learn and stay connected to China more and more. I’m doing this vicariously through you. Awesome blog man!
PS. You’re quite articulate and very insightful!
