Finding a new groove.How’s the hotel?Did get to the gym today but… yea, hotel gym. In the evening.Breakfast buffets, missed them, but didn’t. I always liked the idea of having a three-hour breakfast. Problem is? When do you find the time? How much can you possibly eat?Conversation classes today. At first went slow and took my time. Then… two minutes and out. NEXT! Quite a few Beijingers, Hangzhou, ZheJiang, GuangZhou. Lots of problems with math as it’s too complicated.Lunch roast duck with rice, dinner not so good. Tried the Cotti Coffee, not bad.YouTube channel growing, neglected to do the language podcast today as I had an admin meeting right after class.Donate to the show!
