I appreciate your honest approach to talk about your teenage times, Japanese experiences and yout present life. So much useful vocabulary. Above all things, let me congratulate on having a baby .I understand your worries about trusting him to other people.however, this proves that you are not only an excellent teacher but also a caring parent.

    Hi Luke. I believe the thick brown sticky gooey thing in the bottom of the metal drum was the sauce of roasted pork (or "char Siu" in Cantonese). It's mainly malt syrup, honey, soya sauce and the fat dripping from the pork belly.

Hump day / have a little window of time / in the pipeline /throw caution to the wind / zone out/ strut around/ pins and needles in one's leg Not only learning new expression, but also just listening your story was entertaining and productive to me.

    Hi Luke, I am from China. Sorry to hear that you have to clean the disgusting duck drum hhhh but it really amused me. ROASTED DUCK is one of my favorite dishes and the duck won't touch the disgusting stuff during the cooking because they were hung up by the hooks. We rub the duck with sauce and roast it with fire. You can find the videos on youtube. But I think most restaurants hose the drum down every day...(or not? I never thought about this before hhhhh) Also, Beijing roasted duck is the most authentic...if you want to challenge yourself....
