Southern Summers & Northern Winters — Meta & Fysikken Podcast

Episode 12: Buying Islands, World Politics and Chinese cooking traditions

This week we start out with just a little bit of politics… But as seasoned travellers we are aware of local customs and traditions, so we can see through the political agendas, and just focus on the local people, who are usually kind, generous and not even remotely interested in political BS.

We also talk about the fact that Chinese households rarely have an oven in their kitchen! What is THAT about?
