The expat bar called “Ryan’s Ba…

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.

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.
