Lest we forget! Another reading… Hey! It’s Single’s Day! Did you buy anything? Great Leap #45 gone! The others remain. More comments on the YT channel! To be clear, I’m not looking to build some sort of “expat in China” vlog, I’m looking to create a channel that is more dedicated to language learning and living as an expat around the world rather than just one country. Scones arrived! Maple and pumpkin! Always nice to have. 10% uppers are one thing, 3-4% uppers are another. But, if it’s a bull market, does it even matter? Thinking of how to pre-sell this language vlog book I’ve got coming up. What needs to be done? Workouts in! Morning: 31 minutes bike (reading Chinese) Circuit work: kbell carries, dips, 6kg ball slams, pull ups, slow 4kg movements Afternoon: 7.02km in 42.19 4 rounds of 40 double unders, bench jumps, one arm push ups, assisted pistol squats Donate to the show!

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. 00:00 Introduction and Camera Setup 00:20 Singles Day and YouTube Comments 00:44 YouTube Channel Insights 01:13 Language Learning Journey 01:34 Dealing with Trolls and Comments 04:54 Challenges of Learning Chinese 07:19 Podcast and Vlog Differences 16:46 Scones and Sweet Cravings 19:48 Stock Trading and Financial Goals 28:21 Workout Routine and Reflections 30:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 31:53 A Reading of In Flanders Fields
