Now Shenzhen | July 10, 2023
Dear Shenzhen-er,
I know. I know shouldn't but I just had to include a click-baity article that came out today about a woman smuggling snakes accross the border in her bosom. The visual alone and then the accompanying thinking that resulted in that situation coming to pass had me giggling uncontrollably. Aside from that Huawei hit the headlines with the introduction of their new ChatGPT competitor "Pangu," and locally the Black Soldier Fly got some positive press in an ecofriendly project based in Dameisha.
I edited the intro on this part: If you'd like to find some giggles of your own consider supporting a locally owned business at the same time by stopping by for Comedy Night at Cafe Society in Shuiwei this Thursday. Sunday the MindBody Wellness group will be back again this Sunday with another stimulating topic (announcing later this week) and if you're interested in community and painting you may want to take a look at what InSpire Studio is doing every weekend with their creative painting activities in CheGongMiao. As always check out our full event listing page for all the latest activites in the city!
Thanks for reading & Have a great week!
-David & The NowShenzhen Team
