	Description:		Wellingtonian Patrick Rosevear has certainly led a varied life in China since he moved there nearly a decade ago. Having fully immersed himself in local culture from day one in Shanghai, including living with Chinese flatmates and taking Mandarin lessons for two hours a day, seven days a week, Patrick has gone on to appear regularly on local TV and establish a brand new rugby club in Beijing (the Beijing Ducks RFC), where he now lives. His TV work has been, well, varied -- from commentating rugby matches to performing a duet with one of the top contestants (a Chinese-speaking Ukrainian) in a dating show. (YouTube it.) Patrick's an Intellectual Property Consultant by day, but his real love is the oval ball game. Along with the Beijing Ducks, he organises two regional club rugby competitions as well as the China national club rugby competition. He also still pulls on the boots each week. Patrick's Calling Home this morning.
