They went through layovers and long flights to finally arrive in Beijing. In Beijing, they reunited with family and tried to immerse their children in Chinese culture by visiting famous landmarks, but many required advance reservations. This trip gave their children a more direct understanding of Chinese culture and the various aspects of Chinese life, including using WeChat Pay and Meituan for daily activities. The only challenge was the prevalence of smoking in public places. ************************************************************ Brilliant Idea #1 If you need something rock solid in your life and someone shared this podcast with you, or you think you already subscribed on Apple Podcast/Spotify, support us by becoming a transcript member.
