What do I even do in Beijing any more? And yes, that was the Ukrainian National Anthem you heard at the beginning of this episode sung by yours truly. A little clarification on how the (Russian) media is skewing things to meet their ends: basically anyone saying Ukraine is a nation is a nationalist. But what does that term mean and refer to? That's where the skew is being played. Passport renewal here in Beijing, guess I should get a haircut and get some photos taken. Need to remember to tell them NOT to hole punch my current valid (and necessary) visa and work permit. I don't want to even think of what could go wrong. Chinese lessons are heavy: euthanasia on Sunday, feelings about life today, being busy, appearing to be busy and... playing Chinese chess. Continuing with writing out the characters and reading the texts for the first time. Need to then go back through all of the chapters and review the grammar and THEN, most importantly, start WRITING. Getting this test done! Hope your week is going well so far. Show toes n kracts on stevensirski.com!
