This thread is wild.

Content: "Yeah but America did X Y Z!" responses to the Xinjiang poo poo need to be categorized between "every country gets at least one genocide" bad takes and "let's learn from history and not do that bad thing" good takes.

If a random tourist accidentally wore a Winnie the Pooh t-shirt through Chinese immigration would they be denied entry into the country?

I'm late for China-neighbors chat, but Vietnam was super cool to visit.

When you apply for your visa they give it to you in a packet hat also has the personal info and passports of other random tourists who are also applying, which was cool.

We visited around the time Star Wars Rogue One came out. When we'd cross the sea of scooters that unceasingly flowed down every street, we would repeat "I am one with the force the force is with me..." over and over. It was fun.

We're in Hong Kong to see family and one of the weirder things we keep seeing are these super long lines of old people in the early morning. They stretch around all 4 sides of a city block sometimes, and best we can tell they're all waiting to buy a newspaper from a single vendor. Mrs. Scam Likrly says there's nothing HK'ers love more than a line to stand in. Must be an incredible newspaper.

When I visited last September we were able to link an American card to both WeChat and Alipay, but WeChat was not super reliable. I think that changed with WeChat in like July or August.

So this explains why my old rear end WeChat account from like 2019 no longer worked when we recently tried to connect to a local Mandarin speaking daycare service.
