Description
New month, new city, new country! Yes, I’m back in Beijing. How was the trip back?
Taipei > Shanghai > Beijing, 3hr layover in Pudong… I WOULD’VE been bored but I had something to keep me entertained: reconnecting to the outside world!
Did I focus overly much on my content creation talk? Maybe, but I think that was because I was getting really tired along the travels. Wasn’t sleeping all the best and wasn’t working out all that much.
Dropped 3kg! Workout in today but need to get a new sports watch! The old one literally fell apart!
And Thai fest over the weekend, settling back into Beijing. What next?
