SLV | Episode 45 | University Degrees, Street Food, and PSB Visits

In Episode 45, we're hitting on a topic that we've covered a little bit before: the relevance of university degress. If you saw someone struggling with their studies, would you encourage them to struggle on through or give up and go find something else to do, such as a job?

We also talk about what it takes to renew a work residence permit here Beijing. The work residence allows you to stay in the country for extended periods of time, including entering and exiting the borders as often as you like.

We're also looking to get back into livestreaming throughout the summer, particularly YouTube

Finally, a little discussion of Chinese numerology (and what we failed to do in Episode 44) AND... a trip announcement - we're off to Australia!
