    Hi Eric, recently got back into chess and I'm learning a lot from your videos. I have to say I love how calm and down to earth you are mate, it makes your videos so easy to watch. You're clearly a very talented strategist who has spent the time developing your game and memorizing key plays and I often find myself saying "oh that was clever!" Anyway just felt compelled to thank you for your awesome content and say hi from Australia :) Keep on keeping on

    In Pennsylvania you can turn left on red as long as you're on a one-way street, and you're turning left onto a one-way street, AND there isn't a "no turn on red" sign. It's rare because most of these intersections have a "no turn on red" sign, but they do exist. I think there might be some in Philadelphia.

    Perhaps you could play slower games more often? 5 min is fine, but I actually gave up on watching bullet, because it's too fast and I have to put so much effort into understanding what's going on, that there's little time to have fun. Also I enjoy beautiful checkmates a lot more than dirty-flagging, even though the latter is funny at times. ;)

    FIrstly China also has some absolutely fantastic green teas. 1)Scarlet Robe 2)Dragon Well 3)Gunpowder green 4)Iron goddess. For a Japanese tea you might like I would recommend Genmaicha. It’s a Japanese green tea with toasted rice and popcorn. It’s delicious. Hojicha is a smoked Japanese black tea. A Chinese equivalent might be Lapsang Souchong. Very different but both types are excellent. You should also check out some white teas (very similar to green tea but with a technical difference to do with the age at which the leaves are harvested, which leads to a subtle flavour) and Oolongs (Half way between a black tea and a green tea).
    Quite apart from the tea content, I also appreciate the chess! Thanks for the videos. You have inspired me over the last few months to take the game back up again and gradually get stronger.
