#44 - Superstitions, 迷信 Míxìn, Reincarnation & Pride

In this episode we go deep. real deep. Into the depths of superstitions and then reincarnation. We discuss the Taiwanese superstitions and others from around the world. We talk about family and relationships at the end which ends up on some reasonably sound advice (in our opinion) about staying passionate about each other.This Chinese and English episode was discovered in a shipwreck, deep in the Atlantic ocean. It was found by Russian deep sea divers and hauled up over six miles of crushing Atlantic water and onto the deck of a research vessel. They ran various experiments on it, until finally discovering its secrets. All of those secrets are revealed using the ancient language aptly named Chinglish. Hosted on Acast.
