Garrett Parrish
Garrett Parrish: 我最初在美国东北部郊区长大，对美国历史有很强的自豪感。后来，我在一家美国跨国公司工作，这让我有机会接触到亚洲的项目，包括日本、香港和上海。在日本的经历让我意识到生活方式的多样性，这极大地开阔了我的视野。我开始渴望居住在美国以外的地方，并最终抓住了机会搬到了上海。在上海，我体验到了一个充满活力和创造力的国际化城市，这里的发展速度非常快，总是不断涌现新的事物。我正在学习中文，并采纳了一些当地的习惯，比如喝热水。我喜欢上海人的一种务实和不拘束的自我表达方式，这与东京非常不同。总的来说，移居亚洲让我获得了个人成长，并找到了一个可以自在做自己的地方。
