A look into lives of foreigners in China during Spring Festival

Tyler O'Neil (from the United States)

1. What's your favorite food for Spring Festival?

This will be the first year in a long time that I will actually be in China for Spring Festival as I usually try to use this time for a vacation. I've decided to save some money and stick around Beijing this year, so I'm going to use it as an opportunity to practice cooking as many restaurants will be closed for the holiday. I've already stocked up on a bunch of vegetables, eggs and some meat, so I guess I'll be experimenting to see what I can make this year.

2. What would you like to do most during the Spring Festival?

Spring Festival is a time to relax and reconnect with loved ones, so I'm looking forward to drinking wine with friends and sleeping in.

3. What is the biggest change in your life during the past year?

I was bitten by a radioactive spider and have since developed enhanced senses, the ability to climb up walls and onto ceilings, and glands have appeared on my wrists that allow me to shoot some kind of sticky spider-silk out of them. I would love to swing from rooftop to rooftop, fighting crime and keeping watch over the citizens of Beijing, but hutong houses are a little short.

I'm considering a move to either Shanghai or New York.

And I started working at China Daily. The switch from television to print has been pretty interesting.
