Since gracing China with your presence you may be starting to suspect you’re getting better looking by the day: those double-eyelids, that great skin-tone, and ‘you’re beautiful’ catcalls from street vendors. This podcast just might put some ideas in your head. As you learn in Mandarin Chinese about registering for a beauty pageant, we can only hope you have some honest friends to prevent you from prancing around a shopping mall stage flaunting your wares.
