Listen most of the abbreviations I see I have no idea what they mean. I'm 42 and feel out of touch most of the time.

I remember when I was a Literacy Volunteer I tutored a very smart Chinese woman who could not for the life of her understand our saying "holy shit." She asked how something could be holy and shit at the same time. Good question. And you know, I couldn't explain it to her...

Some of the phrases and urban language used today is funny and foreign to me.

Apparently she feels more comfortable in a zoo among animals than in a hotel room with Trump.

the zoo was more PR. She finished her fashion show so it was time to leave.

I'm not a fan of hers by any stretch but she's the only thing between the child and crazy AF Dotard.

I am leaving China for #APEC2017 in Vietnam. @FLOTUS Melania is staying behind to see the zoo, and of course, the Great WALL of China before going to Alaska to greet our AMAZING troops.

The California location stamp intrigues me.

RE: California location stamp

I'm guessing it's because China has their internet on lock-down and he has to VPN to a US server to tweet? Or something along those lines?

Tweets on the same day from him don't have the location. Once you tap the location icon it continues to provide location on tweets until you turn it off.

I've seen Houston also shown as a location. My understanding is the location shown is provided by the phone's GPS.
