Community

One of the things I really love about Shanghai is the sense of community you get here. As long as you are willing to put yourself out there a bit, and expand your comfort zone, you will have experiences you never could have imagined. When I moved to Shanghai I decided to start saying "yes", and it has really opened a lot of doors.

Through this opening-of-a-small-business process I have met so many amazing people who are willing to offer their advice, assistance and experiences. It has given me the courage to go out there and do something a little bit crazy. 

Something I am really excited about is the Serenity Seitan launch party at De Refter, which will likely happen in the second weekend of August. I will make three styles of seitan and De Refter will provide the perfect beer pairing for each one. Seitan and beer, another one of my favorite combinations. I am so thankful for their willingness to help me show others what Serenity Seitan is all about.

I hope that in the future I will be able to share my experiences and help others, but until then, I will rely on the amazing Shanghai small business community.
