People are shocked that I like China so much, but I recently went to a wedding, but I'll let ShuShu break it down...

Because I am a staunch commercialist (believing in absolute free commerce), most people are flabbergasted that I'm fond of China. Yeah, I don't like politically privileged, connected, and influential people or corporations dictating commerce laws. I HATE lobbying/lobbyists and I absolutely despise political donations! It's corruption wrapped in casuistry and sophistry, but I digress.

Recently, we took time off and attended a wedding of an orphan. I can't tell you how elated I am with that decision. Best decision we made in 2026. 😍😍😍😍

PS. I'm still writing my piece of Why I Moved to China, so bear with me.

I am currently traveling the country and am really amazed by nearly everything. Also spent a day in HK which was horrible.

I agree China is a BEAST.

I can’t wait for AI to allow us to communicate fluently in any language. Probably in a couple of years? Until then, as I’m not @jafo , unfortunately I will not be able to fully appreciate that great country, which already amazes me even though I know so little about it.

Trust me, you can do this easier than me! You can use preply or italki, etc. Always choose the cheapest tutors so you can gauge if they are worth it. Something happened to my brain (and others I know) when we started learning and understanding Chinese (and Russian). It's like a whole new world opens up. Since in Yiwu there are so many Muslims, I am now starting to take one class a week in Arabic. Just as a sign of respect. I sometimes get better deals from the Muslims than even the Chinese in Yiwu. Some even give me terms w/o "interest".😎
