  How about this: we record right now so we don’t have to fight through the jet lag? Fell asleep right after recording yesterday’s episode and up at… 2 am again! Never did eat my guobaoriu! Finished The Stand! Finally! Looking at the condition of the book, looks like I should just get rid of it. What’s next? How were those books for the gf? Can she read them? Yes… but understanding is still a bit difficult. Got a new APP to read Chinese books… reader-made, not professional. And doing some calculations on the life of an expat… how long and where do you end up? Donate to the show!

  Quick! Record now before my food shows up and I fall asleep! Jet lag strikes and up at 2 am! Went for a walk and no one was out. Last first class done, now onto the second. Meetings a go go and what are the office hours really? And when is class prep or grading time? FREE apparently. Off to the gym in the morning for the first workout in a very long time and then a run in the afternoon… now my chest hurts. It’s smoggy outside. And did China steal the blueberry? I don’t often buy them here any more since they are kinda expensive, 25 RMB for a small clamshell box of them. Neat how they do the growing, however, in coconut fibre. https://www.wsj.com/business/driscolls-berry-farms-china-competition-b0b49f04?mod=itp_wsj&mod=djemITP_h Donate to the show!

  Better record this now because jet lag a startin’! How ya feeling? Yesterday’s episode was ROUGH! Class is in! And how does it feel to be back? How are the students? What’s it like? Learning some new APPs: Tencent Docs and WeChat groups, but much more freer than last year. And are you seeing any changes? Not much… other than a new elevator and sign: don’t pee in the stairwell!

  Hello from Beijing! Back to the city and into my humble abode… again. Still. How was the trip? How was the food? It was decent but has been better. Same with the snacks. No brownies this time. They seem to be giving free beer on domestic flights these days. Watched Suits, Succession, and Narcos. Are you a YouTuber? And, do you like being back? Donate to the show!
