This week’s episode features another friend here in Beijing, Natalya Ba. She has been in China for 9 years originally to study Chinese Medicine and then stayed on to work and to study the Chinese language. **You’ll note that I make a bit of mix up with the episode numbers right at the beginning of the episode. That is because last week I actually had recorded another episode with another person but technology did not let us save that one. So, we’ve arranged to record again sometime in the near future. Also, you’ll hear a bit of background noise from outside. Since I recorded this with one microphone and didn’t want it to be too intrusive in the conversation, I placed it a bit further back to record. I’m sure you can bear the few times it pops up.
