Today I have a very special guest for the podcast - a listener from Singapore! OKJ, who is now living in Singapore and a documentary director, has been learning Chinese for the past one year through this podcast channel. He reached out to me two weeks ago, and here we are, for the first time ever, with an episode with a fan! Check out OKJ's super cool documentary series on TikTok or his Youtube channel to see his journey of Chinese learning. He also does interviews and documents interesting stories entirely in Chinese.

Northeast China is a particularly interesting geographic concept in China.

Whether at the airport, on the train or at home, we just love to boil water and drink hot water! My parents especially couldn't understand that Americans like to drink ice water. In the Chinese perception, drinking ice water will make your stomach uncomfortable and even make you sick! In addition, Chinese girls like to use hot water bags and drink hot water when they have their "big aunt" (meaning to have period) or have menstrual pain.

For example, a few days ago, the water pipe in our house burst! The dirty water splashed on the wall and got everywhere. It was so slow and troublesome to find a plumber or technician in Switzerland. Not only the water pipes, but also the flooring in the house needs to be repaired and the blinds are not working well either ....
