Images of China expats with Nicky Almasy

Описание: Nicky Almasy is a freelance photo and video journalist who has documented the lives and surroundings of expats in Asia for over two decades. As a former That’s Shanghai magazine writer, Air Asia content creator, and author of the Earnshaw Books hit “Recycling Reality” along with other books, photo albums, and graphic novels, Nicky has been an inspiring storyteller of the expat experience in Asia. In this video, we discuss his decade documenting the expat scenes in Shanghai, China, South-East Asia and beyond, how he stays connected with China after relocating and what connects people who have experienced China as expat executives, freelancers or "chancers".

Join us as we:
Reminisce over the seedy bar scene of Shanghai's Tongren Road, and why it disappeared.
Follow Nicky on his journey to the top of Lujiazui’s half-built skyscrapers, capturing the city's rapid growth with celebrity architect Marshall Strabala.
Hear the stories of his hard-earned free rides with Air Asia across the continent.
Explore why Western executives, expats and adventurers who once lived in Shanghai stick together long after leaving the city.

Most importantly, learn from his admirable attitude of going with the flow while navigating the choppy waters of Asia, and how he usually ends up drifting to the right place.
