The Culture Bum Podcast sits down with Mike, one of my first and best friends I ever made in China. He is very cynical and downplays his accomplishments but he has mastered the Chinese language better than anyone I've ever met. We talk about life in China, the past and the future, teaching, experiences with foreigners, adapting to the culture and more. A fun show as always so check it out.
