Hi all,

Any plans for another Shanghai Meet-up?

Hi, James:

There are no dates set at the moment, but we certainly wish to hold more meet-ups in the future.

Ideally we would make it a regular thing. Personally, I think we need to establish a format that is clearer and more focused than the previous events, obviously keeping it just as welcoming and fun.

I'll be sure to communicate and decisions or developments on this and look forward to seeing you when we do have the next event! Also, should you have any ideas on a format/venue, feel free to let me know.

You're back! Cool! You should write a post about your adventure... in Chinese. (or whatev.)

She's sworn to silence! 她发誓保持沉默啊！Liliana's done her darndest to get something out of her, but....nothing. Not even on the Masai warriors. Incidentally, the word 马赛 is the transliteration for both the Masai people of Kenya and the French city of Marseille. Not at all confusing.

啊啊, okay, I won't prod again. I just thought it might be fun, but actually, even if she was allowed to spill her guts, I could understand how she might not want to anyway.

Thanks for unclearing up 马赛 :-).

Haha, hey xiaophil! As Jen says, I've been told I can't share the details until the show airs. It was a totally crazy, totally fantastic experience, though, so I'd love to share it with you when I can :-)

Perhaps what I should do immediately is get started on writing an account of the filming (in Chinese), so that it might actually be ready for when I can legally post it here...!!

Jen - The Masai warriors were AMAZING, warm-hearted people, and enjoying their company was a highlight of the whole experience for me. I am sure that this is something I can speak of openly! I am totally inspired to go to Kenya now...

In that case, please do get crackin' on that top secret draft of yours. Not only would it be fun to read, but it would also be a good test of your Mandarin skills 哈哈.
