Send a text
Prelude/Disclaimer
This is our experience of living in Wuhan and travelling around Asia. We fell in love with Wuhan, this part of the world and it’s people. We may have gotten some of our facts wrong as we are not claiming to be experts and hope we do not offend anyone with our ignorance on any cultural differences. If we do, we apologize. This is also my 1st Podcast so I apologize for any mistakes in editing etc. Hope you enjoy it!
