Meet Eledir Busanello, a lovely Brazilian from the same state as me in Brazil! She fell in love with China since the first time she stepped into the country more than 10 years ago! Coming here for work at first, she never expected to have such a strong connection to the country that would makeher want to stay!

We discuss the learning curve she experienced from havingstudied Mandarim in Brazil to applying her knowledge of it in China and how she perceives her growth and battles with this complex language. She opens up about a few Chinese habits she picked up through the years and does not let go of, aswell as a few habits she does not understand and struggles to get used to.

From sharing our thoughts on the food culture in China compared to how we grew up in Brazil having European family upbringings, we expand on the different dishes and dynamics that happen on the table. We also discuss the experience of owning a pet in the country and a very peculiar type of “petshop” you can find in many malls in China!
