Hubs sent me this YouTube video and tells me that things like Brazilian pizza also exist. So anyone more traveled than me, have you ever had anything particularly interesting?

Edit: It’s also interesting to me how English adjective order affects this. The video is, for instance, describing Indian Chinese food, not Chinese Indian food. I’m sure other languages have something similar.

    Yeah, the careful curation of everything put me off, over all … I’d rather stick with provincial but real, personally (she says while getting a tattoo in a Vietnamese alley)

    I’ve only passed through Shanghai - what’s it like?

      Agreed. Singapore felt like Disneyland. There’s a place for that experience and I can only take it in doses lol.

      I loved Shanghai. During that trip, we stuck mostly to the historical bits, which I was suuuuper fascinated by. We had a few days there and a few more in and around Beijing with some traveling in between.

      Foodwise, it was awesome, but all very traditional fare (which I never grew tired of and would definitely go back). We were on our own, though, so we didn’t have the luxury of local friends and their preferences. Definitely got gawked at a bit more than in Hong Kong, but everyone was super kind. A bit more businessy, I’d say.
