Jiajia recounts air conditioner woes, laments over the hot summer weather and learns about the history of cheesecake. 

Pistachio Basque cheesecake and salt and pepper shiitake fried mushrooms will live in Chris’ dreams tonight. Jiajia and Chris try out the new restaurant on Wuxiang Mountain. Oh yeah. We’ll be back. 

A peaceful evening at home turns into a steeplechase featuring a tiny kitten in distress, a barking dog, pacing cat and of course, a flying cockroach. 

Jiajia is hungry and tired but Chris revives him with potato and salted cabbage talk. Jiajia remains on ear bud probation.

Jiajia loses his ear bud privileges after he mocks Chris’ salad dressing technique, and Chris lauds the benefits of a lettuce ice bath.

Jiajia gets in big trouble for wearing ear buds and ear plugs at the same time, Chris extols the virtues of laundry bags and kale enters the discussion.

News Flash: Charlie finally started using the cat abode we bought for him years ago. Jiajia tells a fish story and how Chris has made him change his way of thinking.

Chris and Jiajia talk about the hand thrown, kiln baked pizza and coffee at the Donglu Camping Site 冬庐驿站 as well as checking out the Lishui Dragon Boat Races and dancing robots!

Chris loves her new mosquito netting, Jiajia has a centipede phobia, and cockroaches are our friends as long as they’re outside.

We wrap up saying goodbye to Auntie and her wonderful family. Jiajia misses our group meals, and Charlie is yelling at us as usual.
