开场白：

Hi friends, I am back!!!! Finally, I am able to get back on my feet and roll out one episode. This is the first time in a long time that I travelled this far. Even though jet lag is miserable, I am happy to see a change and visit some of my old friends that I have not seen for 2 plus years. I really hope that things will get back to normal and all of us can explore the world again. Fingers crossed!!!
