Living in China can be a challenge for any expatriate, especially if you are thrown into it completely unprepared (and maybe even unwilling). This workshop will introduce attendees to ways of overcoming these challenges, and learning to deal with the differences between Western culture and Chinese culture effectively. RMB250 (members)/RMB400 (guests).
