Where
When journalist and musician Alan Paul's wife, Rebecca Blumenstein, accepted an offer to become the Wall Street Journal's China Bureau Chief, they relocated from New Jersey to Beijing with their three children. After years as a freelance writer and "stay-at-home dad," Paul couldn't wait to immerse himself and his family in a completely foreign culture. Three-and-a-half years later he was an award-winning columnist writing about his expat life and the front man for a Chinese-American blues band, "Woodie Alan," that would be voted “Beijing's Best Band” and become a national touring sensation in China.
Join Alan Paul and his wife, Rebecca Blumenstein, as they recount these life-changing years raising in the capital of the world's most rapidly developing nation.
