SESSION Abstract: Lost in Translation: A Kiwi's Journey Through Life in China
What happens when a Kiwi swaps flat whites, rugby, and familiar routines for a country of 1.4 billion people, different social norms, and a language he can barely speak? Drawing on my experiences living and working in China, this presentation explores the surprises, challenges, culture shocks, and memorable moments that come with navigating life as a foreigner. From daily life and workplace culture to food, travel, and unexpected lessons learned, I will share stories that reveal both the differences and similarities between China and New Zealand. More than a travel story, this is a reflection on how living abroad can completely change the way you see the world—and your place within it.
Date: Wednesday 14th October
Time & format: The course will start at 10am, with a coffee and tea break followed by a lively facilitated discussion to answer all your curious questions. The course will finish at 12pm each week.
Location: We are delighted to be hosting at The Hugge Cafe at Clifton Bay
