Ep 67: Rebroadcast of Over There Podcast, the one before it morphed into Virtual Expats




Virtual Expats show

Summary: Racism is explored in this episode via The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah’s geopat lens AND English teachers in Taiwan experience circa 2004. We also cover slow fast food, inspiringly fluent Chinese language speakers, Chinese New Years boyfriends for hire and more expat and geopat goodness for everyone. NOTE: This is a rebroadcast of Virtual Expats episode 60. While I recoup from a nasty change of season cold and catch up on studying for my next Mandarin Chinese language test (HSK 3, December 2nd!), I want to reach back and look at how this podcast has evolved over the past season. This is the last episode from the last season, when the podcast was a segmented mammoth of expat topics and such.
