China: Harvard graduate student inspired to return to China after eye-opening short stay
Obviously people can assume a lot of things about places that they've never been before. It's really great for Americans to see China. I think seeing China for the first time was really beautiful. I was amazed at how built up some of the cities are. Going to Shanghai, going to Beijing, seeing the skyscrapers, seeing how much apartment buildings are being built up. There's incredible development in the country. We went in a BYD and a Neo and some other electric vehicles that were really interesting. So it's cool to see the Chinese vehicles. It's also with the Neo cars. They have the Know Me, which is like a little robot that's built into the interface. Super cool to to see that. And then we saw some of the robots in the hotel that like bring towels and bring things to the room and those were super cool as well. The robots are hand Qaeda, the bullet trains that are so impressive. And it was really cool to get to experience those first hand. For me, I'm planning to live in China in the fall. I got more excited about what it would be like to live there for a few months. I think I want to see some of the smaller cities. I don't know what which ones yet. I'm hoping to make friends that I'll go back to their hometowns, but I think I've seen the big cities. But it would be nice to see the Tier 2, tier 3 cities. I think some of the smaller cities would be interesting to explore.
