 時間都去哪兒了
Zhouyi, our latest HelpX guest from China, has joined Anqi (who had responded to Jiang's WeChat appeal for a student in London to teach me some Mandarin) and Louise (my singing friend who is studying Classical Chinese).  Our last few Mandarin Study meetings have been rehearsals for our performance of Where has the time gone (with an added verse of our own) at my 70th birthday party

I was at the performance of the song, where has the time gone’ and found it amazing that you had learned the words and music. How do you think it will be when you and Ian are in China on your own? What’s your worst fear!

Thanks for your comment, Jo. I don’t think we’re going to be on our own for much of our time in China. We already have some good friends who are helping us to connect with other people in all the places we plan to go. Greatest fear? That one or both of us becomes ill or just not fit and strong enough to make the most of this wonderful opportunity.

    The day to day account of our travels was posted on a  "Psychedelic travellers" WhatsApp group and a "Julia and Ian in China" WeChat group.  So postings after October are summaries and reflections.  To follow the story in chronological order, work your way back through the archives from March. Why "Psychedelic Travellers"? Because we read Michael Pollan's 2018 book How to change your mind:the new science of psychedelics, and liked the way Pollan likens an acid trip to travelling in an unfamiliar country.
