A Canadian in Beijing is a series that explores life in Beijing from the perspective of a Canadian musician named Ember Swift. Talking about everything from traffic to eating vegan, live music to accessibility issues, Ember journeys through life in this huge city (as well as some forays out of town) across a three-month period. If you're planning a trip to China, this series is perfect for you. It will open your eyes to some interesting customs, some fantastic tourist sites to check out as well as some philosophical insights into the current merging of cultures between the West and the East.
