Online shopping: would you do it? That is, go online to sell? New affiliate marketing scheme? And AI-likenesses: will companies ask you to sign over your face and voice? That makes me look at the green card and business idea a little more seriously… Recorded a new walk n talk vlog about teaching ESL in China. Not sure how the industry is now, but it is still ticking along. Spring Festival, plans? None, but… it would be nice. Thailand, Cambodia, somewhere cheap!! Russian done, Chinese kinda done…. But not hitting the same workouts. ONE workout in: 7.02km in 50.07. Slow, but steady. Slam ball after. Have NOT been doing my cycled workout, opting to just going instead. Have out on weight (again) since Canada… does that mean I eat like garbage while there (probably) or that my current diet is very much a maintenance diet? Donate to the show!
