  • You're listening to Round Table.

  • I'm Feifei, together with Yuxuan and Yushan.

  • Coming up, what if your next vacation came with homework?

  • Instead of lounging on a beach,

  • you are sweating through a 6:00 a.m. CrossFit boot camp.

  • Instead of sightseeing, you are learning to roll spring rolls on a farm.
