SSAB - September 15, 2026

Better record this now because jet lag a startin’! How ya feeling? Yesterday’s episode was ROUGH!

Class is in! And how does it feel to be back? How are the students? What’s it like?

Learning some new APPs: Tencent Docs and WeChat groups, but much more freer than last year.

And are you seeing any changes? Not much… other than a new elevator and sign: don’t pee in the stairwell!
