#S5 #6 One Week To Go

In this episode, Tom confirms that *A Middle Eastern Odyssey* is now finished and available on Apple Books. With the China trip just one week away, he’s taking it easy — dog walking, a bit of Xbox, and sorting the last practical bits like an extra Anker power bank. He talks about going into China with a completely open mind, as it’s the furthest east he’s ever been, while remaining aware he’ll need to be more careful with what he says. He also mentions a slight nervousness about Chinese immigration for the first time. Next week’s episode is planned to be recorded live from Gatwick South Terminal before the flight, possibly with Alex. A calm, practical update as the big trip gets closer. See you next week from the airport, keeper.
