Now Shenzhen | August 14, 2023
Dear Shenzhen-er,
Some news about the flight situation between the US and China this week. It has been announced that starting next month the flight quota between the two countries will begin to increase! Hopefully, in time, bringing flight prices down to a more reasonable level! Some startling news out of the US concerning the wildfires in Hawaii that have taken the lives of 89 people so far. Lastly here's a little fluff about Tibetan Nyingchi highlighting several of it's key natural wonders - not a bad domestic travel option in this authors opinion.
Despite the rain over the weekend there was an record turnout to both Zack Franklin's Marketing meetup at the Brass House on Thursday as well as our very own MindBody Wellness Club just across the way at Cafe Society on Sunday. Good vibrations at both activies - feels like our communities are coming back to life following the lazy summer period. I certainly always encourage interested parties to partake of those two events when the come up!
This week a few upcoming event highlights are Sailing Whale Co's sailing event and Kick It's Vacation Crawl both occuring on Saturday. As always - for some deeper stimulation - you're always more than welcome to join us for a lively discussion at the MindBody Wellness Group on Sunday afternoons as well!
Have a great week out there!
-David & The NowShenzhen Team
