In episode 5, Kagiso Mogotsi told her story of only intending to go on vacation, but finding herself gone from China because of the coronavirus outbreak. One of the colleagues she left behind at the English language training centre she worked at in Tianjin was Michelle October. Michelle had decided to stay in the country; after all, her mother had flown all the way from South Africa to visit her in China. However, instead of a fantasy vacation to China’s “Ice City”, her ‘holiday’ ended up being a 5-month lockdown.
