Welcome to Aural Fixation the podcast for this final episode from Zhuhai. The story is a bit shorter this week than you are used to, but it summarizes what has been one of the semester’s slowest and most relaxing weeks.

“It’s safe to say that Charlie Brown would probably find Christmas in China the most vulgar and offensive exploitation of the holiday imaginable,” was my first thought after watching the timeless Christmas feature in which he stars on a brisk—but far from cold—Christmas morning just before calling my family on Skype. The expat bar called “Ryan’s Ba…

Here is the audio from last week’s podcast. I apologize for the delay, I was a bit ill and did not have quite the vocal stamina to maintain the podcast. As a result watch for another one later today, as I’ll be recording an episode about Thanksgiving in China. It’s a bit of an injustice to talk about environmentalism or construction and infrastruct…

Room 409 in Block 4 of the new dormitory complex at United International College is a cozy room sleeping two; the building is so new that it is not even finished yet. It is substantially finished, meaning it will not fall over, and the fundamental pieces of its construction are complete. The windows shut, the doors lock, and all the furniture is in…

I’ve intentinoally been spending as much time alone as possible this week. Initially it was because I was homesick for the first time since my arrival and I thought I needed some space from the noise and commotion of my normal affairs here. It’s given me time to reflect on this experience, which is now a third finished, and how it has helped me as …

This week’s podcast will focus on the remakable differences in social behavior I have noticed in my now three weeks here in Zhuhai. I was standing in a supermarket, the one near the bank I use here, a couple weeks ago. I was looking for a few things, including a cheap pair of chopsticks for your room, some peanut butter and maybe some bread. I wasn…

Con-Dawg and Spence-Bruff came back from Fall Break with a vengeance and with some words to say to their massive, worldwide audience. On tap tonight were topics ranging from crazy sports press conferences, prison shanks, signed photos from that a-hole Hitler, and the Radiohead cover band playing next door during the show. If none of those topics gr…

Bizzy and Bruffy returned from a one-week (or two-week?) hiatus to ramble and rumble and waste an hour of your time. We were going off of a combined 5-to-6 hours of sleep the night before and were relying on the inverse property theory of “Little Sleep Equals Big-Time Radio” first put forward by a certain Wolfman named Jack. Hey, hope you enjoy. Co…

Earlier this week Bill from International Development told you two things: first, that there will be some kind of gathering among the students who went to Gustavus this summer, and second, that his office is going to set up a homestay for you so that you can experience life with a Chinese family.

Upon arriving in HKG and making you way through the labyrinth of moving walkways and lighted signs the first shop you notice is the familiar green mermaid marking none other than Starbucks.
