Summary
In this episode, Tom confirms his China trip is now locked in. He’s flying out on the 22nd of August from London via Istanbul, spending around two weeks in China (with a possible three-day side trip to Hong Kong), then heading to the Philippines for three weeks to see Cindy, before flying home via New Delhi. Because of internet restrictions in China, he’s planning to pre-record and schedule the next batch of episodes in advance so the podcasts keep uploading while he’s away. He also reflects on how this show has quietly turned into a proper digital diary. A relaxed, practical update as the next big adventure starts to feel real. See you next week, keeper.
