About this episode

Let's face it, it's December, we'd all rather be there than here... those more fortunate are, those of us less fortunate are sitting here listening to this lesson. Jealousy gets you nowhere, of course, except resenting your cold unheated China apartment. So, put a conch shell up to your ear, and listen to this podcast instead. You'll be dreaming of Mandarin hula girls and Chinese tan lines in no time. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0745
