Howie, Aric and Justin reflect on their recent trips to Yunnan and Inner Mongolia.  Moved by the beauty of these remote places they consider a life far away from the big city of Shanghai, where things seem to be simpler and happier.  Conflicted by this powerful temptation to leave and start a brand new life, they search for meaning in their current ones, re-examining whether they're living on their own terms.   Follow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehonestdrink_/ Email: thehonestdrink@gmail.com Join Us On WeChat: THD_Official Subscribe on: Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Ximalaya, 小宇宙, Bilibili or anywhere else you get your podcasts.
