Chinese Malls Kick Ass!

  If you miss the way American malls USED to be, check out my latest blog post. A video is coming, but I wanted to highlight one of my favorite malls here in Xiamen. Not only does it have the usual stores you find in malls here, but it has an open-air Buddhist temple, AND a horseback riding school! (Yes, I took one lesson. Was going to take lessons this summer, but you know, finances.) The mall deliciousness is here: https://nowaylaowai.home.blog/2024/08/18/chinese-malls-kick-ass/

I'll Take It

 It figures that after posting for years and years and years and hardly getting any feedback, I check my stats and find dozens, if not hundreds of views on this blog. I don't get it, but I'll take it. So if you follow this and wonder why I hardly ever post, it's because I'm working on a new blog. I write about my life in China.
