It’s the weekend! Five days off and we’re heading into the home stretch. 劳动节快乐！Meeting with the admin today, do I want to continue? Not really. I tell her I spend my evenings trying to automate language learning, “You’re the enemy!” she responds! Ha!But what’s next? An interesting job idea AND… I think I may have found a good place for a website. More costly than a regular website, but I think it works better.A casual stroll outside today turns into a several conversations. The hotel BaoAn, the Rose Garden BaoAn, and one of the guys who lives in the Rose Garden. Chinese is haikeyi but I know where I’m lacking.Workout in, gentle, but done.Plans for the weekend?Donate to the show!
