One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first thing that comes to my mind is travel extensively through China! Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Changsha, Changchun, Hong Kong, Nanjing, Xi an just to name a few major Chinese cities.

I have travelled to over 20 different cities in China and have developed a love for Chinese language and culture. This is one amazing country!

I also had an amazing time working at the Australian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010. If you had a chance to see this spectacular event, It was one that words cannot truly describe. The Expo park had an average of half a million people every day, with the Australian Pavilion receiving an average of 43000 people every day alone! Thats an average of 1000 people every 15 minutes. The record number people the Expo had on one single day was 1.3 million. The numbers were ridiculous.
