Ever wondered how living abroad can flip your worldview? Ask Igor Patrick, a 26-year-old journalist from Brazil who’s fallen in love with China—twice. 🛬 After studying and working there, he says the experience rewired his thinking and shattered stereotypes.
Patrick raves about China’s 'resilience, kindness, and patience'—qualities he says define its people. From mastering Mandarin 🀄 to soaking up local traditions, he argues that firsthand exposure is the ultimate bias-buster. 'You can’t judge a culture through headlines,' he tells us. 'Walking its streets? That’s where the magic happens.'
His hot take? Everyone should visit China once. 🧳 Why? 'It’s like swapping black-and-white TV for 4K,' he laughs. Whether it’s tech-savvy cities or ancient tea ceremonies, Patrick believes curiosity bridges divides—and he’s got the stories to prove it.
