## Resource

This episode started as a simple idea: list 100 very specific things to do before you die. We didn’t get to 100. We talked about sharks, Lapland, Route 66, Disney parks, cherry blossoms, tequila in Mexico, collecting memories, and why “someday” is a dangerous word. Mandarin and English. Travel, goals, family, and that quiet feeling of wanting more life in your life. If this episode sparks an idea for you, tell us what you’d add to the list. Mandarin Monkey is a bilingual podcast in Mandarin and English. We speak naturally. No scripts. No lessons. Just real conversation.
