China Chat

Jiajia and Chris dig deep down into the Coca Cola, Pepsi slogan debate, western names that don’t transliterate well into Chinese and fried chicken. Also our sincere apologies to anyone named Dick. 

Lao Zhan decides to get a new mahjong table, Chris can’t wait to get a chance to play, but she’s still too slow to play with the adults, and Chris reminds Jiajia to wear a life jacket when he’s fishing on the river.

A very rainy day means no fishing for Jiajia and time to record! Chris scolds Jiajia for not wearing sunscreen and tells him to get with the program!

Since Chris can’t get Jiajia to think about anything besides fishing, they talk about whether fish have a sense of smell, what they use it for, and how Jiajia can use this information to his advantage.

Jiajia is obsessed with fish, fishing and buying lots of fishing gizmos online. Chris makes fun of him and talks about the dense morning fog that was thick as pea soup.

Jiajia and Chris talk about the “Running Man” remake, “The Wizard of Oz” and being kind to everyone always, no matter what. 

Jiajia talks about his love of fishing, his catch rate and Chris thanks him for releasing the big catfish he caught. 

Jiajia woke up with a pollen headache after traipsing through fields of emerald green and bright yellow rapeseed flowers. Huihui throws a big party for the entire family and Jiajia gets to take his great uncle to the dentist.

Chris may be haunted by pig faces, but they make Jiajia drool. A short history of the Chinese delicacy before Chris and Jiajia head off to the homestead. 

Lao Zhan is heading home after her fasting spa retreat, Jiajia is unmasked as a midnight snacker, and he gives his nephew driving instructions.
