We’re back for another episode of Two White Chicks in China!

We were gone last week for the ‘Golden Week’ holiday here in China. I popped off to the Philippines and Nora’s parents came over for a visit! We decided to take advantage of their stay and invited them to join us for this week’s podcast, all about what visiting China is like for the ‘older’ generation, as Nora puts it! 😀

  • All your lovely comments from our Two White Chicks Facebook page and Episode 32.
  • One of our listeners mentions a movie named ‘City of Life and Death’. You can watch the trailer on our Episode32 page!
