About this Episode
When the Luxembourg-born and raised Laura Haas first left home to begin her law studies in a quiet German town, she never expected to find herself in the bustling cosmopolitan city of Shanghai.
Life can take unexpected twists.
Despite her family’s initial objections, Laura decided to embrace the unknown and the excitement of Shanghai, often known as the “Oriental Pearl” of the Far East. It turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of her life – one year as an exchange student in Shanghai sparked a lifelong passion for China, its culture, and its people.
Now a legal advisor for CEC Luxembourg (Le Centre Européen des Consommateurs Luxembourg), Laura shares her story of living in China as a foreign student with great fondness and sentiment.
Oh, in the end, even her mum fell in love with Shanghai too!
