Wall Street Journal: That Time He ‘Dropped’ the Vegetarian Bun – An American Expat Shows His Dad Around China

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Ray

Please check out my first piece for the Wall Street Journal expat blog! A simple story that us abroad may be able to relate to, and I think it turned out well: It’s about that time my dad came to visit me and how that parents-visiting thing goes as an expat…

And that’s my face when a bun is wasted.

Author, Wall Street Journal writer and tour guide. You are a man of many talents 🙂 It’s nice to read that despite your complicated relationship the main reason for dad coming over was to see you.

It can be hard taking the own parents around. Like my mom she is scared of any new food so her trip to China she mainly remembers all the strange food she didn’t eat…

    Yep, sadly it seems the comment section on many popular sites is a troll breeding camp…
