The core issue here is that you can't take charge of your family; no one listens to your arrangements. This undisciplined team simply cannot handle a tightly scheduled task.

One costs 18 RMB. You clearly didn't buy any.

Yes, that's true.

You really have to hunt for the good food.

It really feels like a summer in the north.

Actually, the issue with Line 3 is that the trains are too short, and the service isn't frequent enough.

Other than playing mahjong, setting off fireworks, or maybe shooting some pool, there's really not much to do in Guangzhou.

I'll drink to that!

Honestly, after living here for a while, it doesn't feel that special anymore.

If you're heading to Nanjing East Road, brace yourself. It's incredibly crowded; you can barely move. They often implement crowd control, sometimes even blocking off roads completely. And when it's packed, they might close the Nanjing East Road subway station, forcing you to use People's Square station instead. Anyway, I got stuck on the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street for over an hour today just trying to get out. It feels like being in a human traffic jam – you can't go anywhere, just shuffle along with the flow of people. I waited through three red light cycles just to cross one intersection, and all the while, a kid on his dad's back kept kicking me, and I had no space to move away.

Thanks for sharing!

Seriously, it's ridiculously expensive. Can you believe this small doll costs 299 RMB?

I saw you last night.

Mmmhmm, that explanation makes sense to me now.

Best not to drive in downtown Guangzhou; the metro is the most convenient way to get around.

Things like influencers and e-commerce aren't really core to what Hangzhou is about. But online, the moment Hangzhou is mentioned, it's all negative. Locals like us don't even know how to explain it anymore.

Many restaurants close before 10 PM, that's so early!

Shanghai Haichang is actually really fun! The orcas are especially breathtaking!

Excuse me, are public restrooms readily available?

Quick question: where can I find youth hostels? Can I book them directly on Meituan?
