Today I’m in London’s very African neighborhood of Peckham, otherwise known as Little Lagos, browsing in the local markets and restaurants. I’ve been practicing the Nigerian languages of Yoruba and Igbo recently and I’ve come out here to practice them. This was such an amazing experience trying great African food and experiencing some awesome Nigerian culture here in the UK!
So this happened…
Back in 2019, before the world was hit by a pandemic, I had the opportunity to work on a movie called Kate, now no.1 on Netflix. I played the mysterious but pivotal (or so I thought 😂) role of “Mother” which was meant to give an insight into Kate’s background and how she came to be the bad-ass assassin she is. I was on set with the incredible Mary Elizabeth Winstead, had a couple scenes with Woody Harrelson (very charming and funny) and had the great pleasure of working with and learning from the insanely talented Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. But, as things often do in the movies, the characters of “Mother” ended up not making the final cut 😭😭😭 and so unfortunately all I have left of the experience is this selfie with Mary at the wrap party in Bangkok and my memories! Although you can imagine my disappointment of not seeing myself on screen after so much hype and anticipation, it was still a truly amazing experience of be part of such an epic movie. If you haven’t already done so, make sure you watch it. It’s crazy intense!
Oh and anyone notice that hottie Kentaro? 😝😍😉

It's already been almost four years since I moved to Taiwan in November 2017! I honestly can't believe it's been so long, and what an amazing time it's been. Here are some of my thoughts about the experience as we head closer to Taiwan's 10/10 birthday!

Go to https://buyraycon.com/xiaomanyc for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. Today I’m talking with Julien Gaudfroy, who in my opinion has a pretty strong claim to having quite possibly the best Chinese of any foreigner ever. He has been a host on Chinese radio and television for many years now, has acted in Chinese movies, and has also been a performer of Chinese crosstalk comedy xiangsheng which is known for being extremely difficult linguistically. And on a personal level I’ve been jealous of his Chinese for at least a decade now! During this interview we spoke together in Chinese and English about how his Chinese got so good, what was his xiangsheng (Chinese crosstalk) training like, how that impacted his Chinese abilities, his experience in the Chinese media world, Dashan (Mark Roswell), and his training as a classical musician.

You know how crazy I get when it comes to choosing the right earbuds, If you’re looking for a great earbud that does all the work in its finest way, whether it’s for sound quality and great AI features?
- Edifier TWS330NB, is an earbud that we all need ? with three different modes & a secret mode for all of us to experience!
• Normal Mode
• Ambient Mode
• Noise Cancellation Mode
- By triple tapping you can unlock Game Mode!
- these earbuds are the future, the sound quality is amazing and trust me, THIS IS THE FUTURE I’m not gonna start how we all need an “ambient mode” installed in our earbuds, not all earbuds in this world has that and Edifier is one of the best, it’s so important for all of us to have that feature so that we can be more aware of our surroundings even while we’re listening to music.
I’ve been using Edifier’s earbuds and I can say that @edifier_malaysia has improved a lot and they have never failed to blow my mind ❤️ Stay tune to my full YouTube Video Review this Friday at 3PM! I’ll explain it to you guys with more details regarding the earbuds ✨
