The park in the middle of HK is pretty nice, but not exactly what I'd call "nature" I guess Highlights include a bigass outdoor bird menagerie and a little tower with a spiraling staircase that may kill some fatass americans

Jose posted:Like I sort of get why dictators don't like people who are intelligent being around, but carting off every doctor/engineer to the gulags is so loving dumb. At least keep some around to train people They did keep some around, but just for the powerful Party people's needs apparently. There are still people in China/HK that are like "ehhhh Mao was a huge rear end in a top hat but he dragged China into the 21st century(after dragging us back like 40 years but shhh)!" I think this is real dumb but I don't actually live there so I can't say for sure

why would you even travel to another country if you're too terrified to eat their food that's like at least 30% of what i do when I travel somewhere, look for the local food/alcoholic beverage and consume it

I dunno, the whole "no compassion or responsibility" thing combined with the "we will cut every corner possible to produce half a penny of extra profit" thing combined with the probably-corrupt national airline saftey/air traffic control agency makes me a little nervous about flying over there at least they feed you something on even like a 1 hour flight, unlike US airlines

Real problem here is that most US chinese restaurants are probably bad and to the average person who hasn't been outside the country international food is ~mystically wondrous~ not-poo poo chinese food is really good, though

Lucy Heartfilia posted:Chinese food is really all about different textures. And many people have serious hangups about food textures they're not used to. gently caress jew's ears/mu err/木耳 mushrooms for example. They taste like nothing and make every dish slightly gross. I still eat them, but they really do add nothing of worth to any dish. I actually kinda like their weird rubbery-with-a-little-give texture

Upon further thought, I actually think it's pretty great china is as un-hosed-up as it is with the lovely corrupt government they've had for so long I mean weren't they basically a really big North Korea just like 50 years ago
