Great Podcast!
I myself have been living in China full time since 1998 so of course much of what is covered in the question/answer format I already know but, I do very much enjoy hearing about it through another's perspective. And I like that the girls are very thorough in their research on people's questions. They are doing a wonderful service for all that wish to visit this wonderful country! Keep up the good work!
My go-to girls for Western perspective on China
So happy they are rocking the mic and sharing their real deal perspectives and stories about life in China. Have been a few times listening when I have died laughing and others when I worried the site may get shut down - Hollie and Nora keep my earbuds happy, keep it up!
