About

In this podcast we'll teach you how to say happy birthday. That said, this isn't a lesson so much as an

excuse to crow about the birthday of our very own superstar podcaster Echo. Later this evening those of

us here in Beijing will stagger out and celebrate in true Chinese style with unholy amounts of cake, KTV,

liquor and Xinjiang food, not necessarily in that order. We'll also be force-feeding Apple cake as well,

since it was her birthday recently too. Happy Birthday!
