In our last video, I said navigating Chongqing is like being trapped inside a dream. This video shows exactly what I meant. (Sources is hughchonqing from TikTok, I think)

It's been 10 years and I still think about that time a dude tried to hit on my friend. Him: "So, where are you from?" Her: "Oh. I'm from China." Him: "No way! You are too hot to be Chinese! :)"

The province of Yunnan in China has a culture of mushroom foraging. Every mushroom season, there would be a flood of funny social posts about people "accidentally" going on trips. It's that time of the year again. Here are some posts I saw and translated for you.

Growing up, I thought it's lame that China doesn't have proper castles. Most photos of the Forbidden City focus on the width of the complex. The structures don't seem tall and imposing. In reality, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is 27m without the base, taller than most Japanese castles.

Fun fact: All 3 Chinese dubs of Mulan (1998) call the antagonist faction Xiongnu instead of Huns. They are not Mongolians. They aren't Mongolians in the poem either. The comment section under PointlessHub's post is killing me. Ugh.

Just saw someone said "AI is democratizing art"... Do people think artists horde their talent like billionaires horde their wealth???

When covering 至少還有你 by 林憶蓮, will the artists please use | C G | F Fm9 C7 | for the first part of the chorus? Please, I'll even settle with a Fm7! Anything but the basic b*tch F minor! It's ruining the song!! (none of you know what I'm talking about but I need to rant)

Blows my mind that there's a whole generation of kids who have never seen a Jackie Chan movie. Someone please introduce Jackie Chan to Henya the Genius.

Fun fact: In the Making of Ne Zha 2 documentary, you can see that one of the computers says "激活 Windows" (Activate Windows) on the bottom right. It's probably a glitch, since no other computers have this. Still, it's funny to think about: Highest-grossing film in China, made with cracked Windows.

I just realized...
