Have you stopped writing 2024 yet?
Very quiet in Beijing these days. Are schools out already?
Working on a cheat sheet for Mandarin, is it okay to teach Mandarin Chinese?
New language vlog up: Time for a change? - All about considering a job change… but does that mean a change of country, too?
Here’s the difference of jet lag:
-in Canada, you fall asleep at 8pm but there’s no more real “business” to be done at that time other than see some people, who could probably meet earlier in the day.
-in China, if I fall asleep at 8pm then that takes out all the evening chatter that can’t be done during the work day.
Need to test out this import/export vlog idea, shall I take a trip? Yiwu? Wenzhou? Guangzhou (again?)
Off to Harbin in a couple weeks for the ice show.
