China Chat

Jiajia and Chris are venturing into the world of TikTok and WeChat channels. They’re back home in the air conditioning and Tommy the Yellow Lab makes an appearance, thanks to firecrackers outside. She is even allowed on the couch!

Chris drags Jiajia to the Nanjing Science and Technology Museum on a very hot summer day! Being an astronaut, going on a spacewalk, traveling through time to see the dinosaurs and holding a giant lizard was a fun packed thrill ride for Chris! Jiajia is ecstatic to be home again in the air conditioning. Look for our video version on Tiktok! 

Tommy always steals just one of Chris’ shoes which makes her crazy! Jiajia thinks it’s hilarious, of course. Chris also talks about the many podcasts produced by “China Plus” which she enjoys and recommends. She also goes all fan girl on writer Edith Eaton.

Chris swears by lemon water in the summer and Jiajia is beginning to get on the bandwagon. He’d like a little sugar in it, though. 

Sure. Jiajia goes ballistic when Chris says that word, so they delve into the what’s and why’s of JiaJia’s reaction. Needless to say, (but we’ll say it anyway) Chris is going to be sure to avoid that word in the future!

Jiajia tells Chris not to pluck her long eyebrow hair. Chris compromises by just cutting it back when Jiajia is not looking. He thinks it’s cute. She says it’s just plain weird.

Everyone is feeling hot, and not in a good way. Jiajia and Chris moan about the hot, humid summer but are happy that relief is in sight. They also discuss parasols and sun umbrellas.

Chris spends time talking about the wonderful Ramona Bugayong and her fabulous husband Pete, Jiajia gives a fishing update and Chris and Jiajia discuss how different people impact our lives at different times, but always have a special place in our hearts.

Chris is outraged that Jiajia never let Oliver try his fishing pole despite being out for 6 hours, Jiajia backtracks and makes excuses and explains Chinese fishing culture. Chris remains unconvinced.

Jiajia shares his true feelings about the yoghurt latte Chris made for him. Chris keeps mixing up the words yoga and yoghurt, and Jiajia is horrified by a cat and dog video featuring Charlie and Tommy.
