Finally, a normal episode.

Totally not clickbait for an essay that is actually about philosophical history.

I need coffee or sleep.

Fun Fact: The Swiss Embassy listens to my podcast. It is official, my podcast is quality content. BTW if you are watching this Julia and Christoph: Hello!

Dam(n), that water be lookin fine.

Ya'll gotta admit Irish music is bop.

My throat was a bit sore in the episode. Along with that, due to the fact the conflict has changed so much, the conclusion about the Russian economy is nolonger accurate. Here's the link to the UNICEF USA page which has a link to a donations for Ukrainian kids (this site might be glitchy on your phone): https://www.unicefusa.org/stories/unicef-children-crossfire-ukraine-crisis/39542?form=FUNKBHMZQDQ&utm_content=Ukraine2&ms=cpc_dig_2021_Ukraine2_20210801_google_Ukraine2_delve_None&initialms=cpc_dig_2020_Ukraine2_20210801_google_Ukraine2_delve_None&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9KCTlO359gIVShbUAR3X4gu2EAAYASAAEgIbxPD_BwE

Cant beleave giy who rote this was on of the weelthyest Amricans the tim. (To be fair if you read the Declaration or any very old American Document, SOME parts of the grammer are similar)

This episode summarizes the history leading up to the Ukraine Crisis. Slava Ukraini! Here is the link to the International Committee of the Red Cross' Ukraine fund: https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine

Last night Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces are moving in and planes and bombing Ukrainian cities. My heart goes out for the Ukrainian people. As for me, I'll forever fly the blue and gold.

Note: This is a short story I submitted for the Scholastic Art and Writing Award's based the real life thoughts and experience of a family member. I hope you enjoy it (I wrote it in 3 days!)

What better way to start off the new year than with a semi-primary sourced podcast episode about the Egyptian Revolution?

(Late) Here's some celebratory music to drink to.

This was a 10th grade homework assignment in Chinese class that I translated into English. I put off recording it because I didn't think my lyrics were as good as my "Pearl of the Orient" translation. Title: 龙的传人 Original Artist: Hou Dejian (Taiwan, 1978) My Translation: Far in the East did a river glide, Chang Jiang is what we know it by. Far in the East did a river thrive, Its name is the Huang He. I've never witnessed Chang Jiang's grace, Only Meeting the waters in dreams of that place. I've never listened to Huang He's might, Surging swelling in dreams of the night. There lived a dragon in the ancient east, Zhong Guo is what we call old beast. There lived a people east back when, They were known as long de chuan ren. I grew beneath that dragon's foot, Raised to be one of the dragon's brood. Dark eyes, Dark hair, yellow skin, I am forever the dragon's kin. On a tranquil evening a century ago, That was the night a great conflict arose. Recall, how the gunfire shattered that silence, And by the sword knelt dishonored compliance. For many years artillery rumbled along, Year and years cannons trembled on. Dragon Dragon open your eyes, Keep them open forever more. Dragon Dragon open your eyes, Keep them open forever more.

This will probably be my last regular episode since school is starting next week. So now my schedule is back to randomness!

"Well, Paraguay started it!" -Probaby some random Argentinian, Brazilian, or Uruguayan soldier at one point.

Sorry this was late by a day. From what has been happening on the news these past few days, I needed to take time away.

Well, today is the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, so I thought singing a love song from WW2 Asia would be nice. I had a hard time hitting the low notes so it sounds weird at those parts. The reason the piano sounds so good is because I transposed the physical sheet music into musescore, then hit the play button. After this, my normal Thursday release schedule returns. BTW, if you were wondering, this song is from the neo-realist film Street Angels (马路天使), which is about a singer, a burglar, a prostitute (best girl), and a newspaper reader, displaced in the slums of Shanghai during the second Sino-Japanese War. Because of how well recieved it was during the war, it was often called the Chinese Casablanca. Title: 天涯歌女 Original Artist: 周旋

Yeah, I tried to include as much as possible about both history as well as culture and people. I hope you enjoy it.

"Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried chips." - Sam from LOTR Also, there will be more Olympics stuff coming next time (Hopefully).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ah. Ah. Sorry for these filler episodes, the next Olympics episode will come soon

In celebration of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, for the next 2-3 weeks, we're doing a series on the Olympics.

Moral of the Story: If your are a rich narcissistic, history will remember you (to be fair Ramses did do a lot of significant things for Egypt).

Kids, remember, if you ever become a famous dictator, at least do it in style.

I'm a bit busy so here's a sonatina I wrote several years ago. Hope you like it.

This was a lullaby my dad used to sing to me as a kid in mandarin... so hope you like it? Also, pay more attention to the quality of the lyrics than that of my raspy voice and the 10+ years old electric piano's sticky keys. Thank you. Original Title: 东方之珠 Original Artist: Lo Ta-yu (Taiwan, 1991) My Translation: Xiang Jiang winds down, Towards the south. Flows to Hong Kong, Where it belongs. Oriental Pearl, My beloved one, Do you still have the grace and romance you once did? Harbor reflects,  The moon's convex. The dark night burns bright, With flames of citylight. Oriental Pearl, Rests not at night, Watch your history change before your very eyes. Cold sea breeze blows, For five thousand years, Your every teardrop speak to me nonstop on your honor. Let tides follow through, As I bless you, Promise to remember your ever unchanged eastern face. Curved shaped transports, Drift through the port. The vast blue sea strip,  Swirls behind the ships. Oriental Pearl, Hold me forever, Let me build warmth on your once desolate chest. Cold sea breeze blows, For five thousand years, Your every teardrop speak to me nonstop on your honor. Let tides follow through, As I bless you, Promise to remember your ever unchanged eastern face. Cold sea breeze blows, For five thousand years, Your every teardrop speak to me nonstop on your honor. Let tides follow through, As I bless you, Promise to remember your ever unchanged eastern face. Promise to remember your ever unchanged eastern face.

This is the most appropriate time to say "Yaasss Queen!".

I literally walked all the way to Vons to obtain an image of tootsie rolls.
