SSAB - May 6, 2026

Friday is D-Day! Departure day that is. As far as I understand the rules on the Chinese Embassy to Canada’s website, it’s entry day+1 for the 30 days. That is, the count doesn’t start until the day after so technically (hopefully) my visa doesn’t expire until Saturday. Good, tickets are a little better on Friday than Thursday.Will be hosteling it up and wondering, how will this go? Will I even want to do this?Is teaching really the only thing I can do?Chinese markets open again.And niche vs newspaper? Maybe my niche is being a newspaper?Oh, and workouts in! 7km in the morning (45.34), then another 6.45km in the afternoon (42.44). Will do kbells after this recording!Donate to the show!
