Hey Laowinners!
Hope you guys are ready for Easter weekend!
In Today's ADVChina early release we ride through some EPIC back alley towns in Vietnam and explain that Asian cultures come from a common root, but with some major differences, and the mistakes people make when comparing them.

In a rarely leaked publicized protest, Chinese people are going ape about the very normal 9 AM to 9 PM 6 days per week work schedule.
Much to the dismay of the overworked people (particularly the people working for Alibaba), Jack Ma, the billionaire CEO of the company defended the work schedule saying,

Such a schedule has helped Chinese tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent grow to become what they are today, drawing on his own experience of working long hours in the industry. He went on to call on his employees to dedicate themselves to the work ethic.
“If you join Alibaba, you should get ready to work 12 hours a day, otherwise why do you come to Alibaba? We do not need those who comfortably work 8 hours,” he said.
This has started an entire suppression in the media about this topic, but it's not slowing down the memes being born out of it.

The most popular format is taking old propaganda posters and changing the text.
This one says . - "Keep it up! Only 11 more hours until we are off of work!"
This will be really interesting to see how this works out.

Lucia and Olivia are gearing up for their first Easter! I'll let you know how that goes next week, but either way, I am sure Olivia is pumped for all of the candy and easter egg hunts we've lined up! I remember eating myself sick every easter morning, so let's she if she has more restraint than I did!

We rode out to death valley! It went from about 75 degrees in LA to over 100 degrees very fast! Some footage from that harrowing expedition coming up on ADVChina! Quite possibly one of the best rides we've ever had.
