I am so excited for the holiday.
Yesterday we talked about our travel plan until 2am

We talked about restaurant and hotel to book

It is a natural beauty scenery / scenic spot in the north of Fujian.
Green tea is much fresher than Oolong tea.

we decided to spend 2 nights in this place.
The scenic attraction is great…
The hotel meal costs a lot / is expensive but we feel excited to go there / but we are looking forward
We decided to travel alone instead of joining a travel tour.

it is the best choice for us
It takes only 3h by high speed train
This place is well known/famous for rice noodles

Jala was responsible for the northern areas and Chris for the southern areas and I paid attention to the middle areas
there is no limitation due to Covid 19 / because of Covid 19

It will cost 2.5k for each person including the hotel, travel budget and also the tickets.

I already lost interest in this game
I realized the reason why is I was attracted was the art style and it cemented my memory of the first time I saw this movie but essentially this game is a trading card game. I think even though  the players are playing the games for free they still need to make in app purchases and pay (money) for items to become more powerful such as equipments and skins so after playing 3 times / after 3 play session  I already lost my interest.
The live streamers are like mini companies. Maybe streamers themselves are like products and they invest to make their equipments better and it could help them to attract a larger/bigger audience/ investing in better items can help them become more successful

for example maybe Apple could be like Facebook and create a cryptocurrency
When people download his app and do in app purchases Apple takes a lot. / takes a big commission  / cut
Another of my friends works on an app that simulates the analog camera  / film camera
The annual payment is about 180… but he said he would like to pay less to Apple because he enjoys the system they offer to the devs but he said it is a better development experience than on android.

In London when I had to pay the bills I had to go to the post office

For the shopping approach I would like to buy things in the evening. / I usually tend to buy things in the evening
After work I feel tired and I need to do something for my enjoyment / I buy things to reward myself
