How was Hindi class?

An idea… interview teachers for the vlog?

Spray compression, what was the idea?

Ibn Battuta once said “Travelling—it gives you home in thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land… it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller."

What do you think?

New day new whatever! First day in a loooong time actually able to sit back and do nothing! So what did I do?

Booked two podcasts! One in Urdu or Hindi I don’t know and another in English. I’ll let you know more as they unfold.

Crown Royal Black for the evening, a heavier version of the original whiskey sold in Canada. Canadian Club had the big money marketing, but Crown Royal is the nation’s whiskey. Or is it without an “e”?

Hot n humid, when will it end? And when it does, what will we say then?

State if the jet lag: 8pm bed time, 1am wake up. Eating times are all off.

That song sucked. I’m sorry for wasting your time.

Snapchat any good? Taking a look at its spread around the world. Tiktok difficult to use in China, need to use web version but good luck logging into an associated account.

Humidity 89%! AQI? Does it even matter?

Ordered some of those Skins compression garments, will try them out.

Work is busy, is this all there is for the next couple months?

Eeesh, am knackered!

Why is the measuring system the USA uses called “Imperial” when they were the ones that rebelled?

Decent food on the flight over. Dreamliner on the way to Seoul. It’s a long flight! Five bottles of wine aaaand out.

Succession and Sex and the City on the way over. Wasn’t committed to the time it would take to watch a movie.

On the way! Out of Winnipeg at 5.50am this morning, Vancouver, Seoul, and it’s STILL raining in Beijing!

Why not Winnipeg?

Yes, still get nerves while travelling.

Safe travels!

And that will do it for Canada… guess I should get going? A month, is that long enough?

Started packing, bringing some reading materials with me to keep me entertained. Monday, will I be in Winnipeg, Vancouver, Seoul, Hong Kong or somewhere else?!? Let’s hope it all goes well.

How’s this viewpoint on tips: you provided a total of five minutes of service and you want an 18% tip? On top of your regular pay? That’s all of a sudden a very good rate of pay on a per service charge! 

No one wants to come to China! Well, actually what about a jaunt over to Tibet and Mount Everest? 

Language vlogs up! When to restart language lessons? What to focus on next?

Workouts in, but could’ve gone harder. Feeling like I had other things to do…
