Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Got the moon cakes!

Feeling better! Maybe it’s my only fan?!

My breakfast place is STILL CLOSED! WTF happened?

Video editing getting done, should I move this podcast onto video?

New Chinese class! How was it? Talked about eating pig’s ears.

And, Steve, have you seen any changes in the neighbourhood?

-“Older” lady who worked at April Gourmet no longer there.

-Cass beer no longer available

-Workers aren’t using the bicycles in the morning… though maybe I’m leaving at different times.

-Lots of the shops by DaoXiangCun are empty

-I’m told there are more foreigners at The Local… but I wouldn’t know cause I never go there.
