In China, it is this newly invented holiday "双十一 Double 11" or single's Day where 53 billion dollars transaction online happened during this black friday like period( 11.1-11.11). That's about 1/4 of how much IRS has paid the US people for the first stimulus check.

Same day different celebration. That's the beauty and pain of living in a different culture. New things are forced upon you. Embrace it when you can & things at home are left behind, like traditions or celebrations. You are found between the 2 spaces before you find your gang.

What has kept you busy? School?Family? Work?Dues? Midterm? Or even the elections? The perfect phrase to describe this state of your life is 忙成狗了máng chénggôu le, as busy as dogs (since when they actually are busy though?). Is there a similar phrase in other languages?

How would you describe your status quo with one word? Nî xiànzhuàng rúhé?迷茫(mímáng, lost)。I feel a little bit lost because the Covid-19 overshadows almost everything. It's easy to get upset with what could have happened VS what is happening. Good news is that I am still alive.

Even as a foreign student, I have paid more taxes than Trump, the president of United States. No wonder he want to keep it away from everybody. 你交的税比特朗普多吗?Nî jiāode shuì bî Tèlângpû duō ma? Do you pay more taxes than Trump?

A Chinese is learning Kung fu in the US? Yes, that's me. 150 days into my Kung fu practice & I failed my test to level 2. I lacked the endurance & started vomiting during the test. My 师傅(master) reminds me the meaning of Kung Fu, time& effort. What doesn't involve Kung Fu?

6 months into the Pandemic and in the USA people are still TALKING about (not) wearing masks. 戴口罩dài kôuzhào (wear a mask) is common sense else where but a conspiracy here. How funny (好笑hâoxiào) is that? What makes the US so unique for mask wearing?

Happy Labor Day 🎉! Do you know that in China the Labor Day is on May 1st and Chinese usually enjoy a 3-days holiday to have a break from work and study. If they have 5-days break, that means the coming weekend they have to work to make the days up.
