      Totally agree! I feel much safer as a solo female traveller in China than I do in Europe (*cough* Italy…France…Spain *cough*)! I feel Chinese people are very warm and really happy to show you their culture. Sometimes a little rough around the edges, but never intentional. They’re such open and friendly people and I don’t feel like the local men are staring in a creepy way? People are genuinely curious and want to learn about where I’m from and happy to introduce food to try.

    Actually 斑斕 is not multicolor. It's Pandan. Pandan is a tropical plant that grows abundantly in Southeast Asia. The cultivated plant, which is similar to the palm, features upright bright green leaves that are long, slender, and spiky. The leaves are used for their flavor in many Thai and Southeast-Asian dishes. Pandan is also sold as a paste, extract, and powder, which are used to flavor desserts.

    The building architecture resembles/similar to some of colonial structure in Singapore/Malaysia as well.
    I think the first place is relatively more like a "food court", which is why most locals would prefer, rather than the Hong Kong vibe of a "yum cha" restaurant. The "green/yellow/brown" drink are rice flour jelly, that is also in one of the south east asia dessert called "cendol". You can google and see the similarities. Singapore/Malaysia holds similar outlook of this, but the variant in Thailand/Indonesia might be different. A dessert where you need to mixed everything up, and enjoy them with shaving ice during a hot day.
    Brown sugar?..but if Hainan is a "coconut" city, it would most probably be the coconut sugar.... :)

    Look at the beautiful library. I just visited Los Angeles and went to a "historic" library and it was full of homeless people. Night and day.

      I gasped when I saw that library on the water, and full of young people!! American libraries are so often tucked away in the suburbs, or left behind in the less developed parts of cities. Clientele is more often older people, or those looking to connect to social services. What if they were given a proper renovation, prioritizing natural light and reading space?!? I wish we had such beautiful places to explores books and read.

      @@jlilah1 Coming from Melbourne, Australia, I used to explore old libraries in town halls when I was student. Loved the musty smell of old books and finding some real "gems" in various subjects on Australian history going back to the old colonial days that one will not be able to find on the Internet these days. The silence among the subtle lit reading rooms all added to the aura that these are places where scholarly research work is done. Those libraries were hunting places of treasure for me and I just don't know what the young generation of today knows what they are missing.

    These architectural structures are very common in and around Singapore 🇸🇬 Chinatown area ! Influenced from the European / British / Malay village-styles.

    Southern China has the most amazing chicken. Eat chicken for every meal when there. Haha, just got to the bit where you mention chickeny. Absolutely spot on, chicken here in Australia does not taste chickeny at all.

      Artificial chickens bred artificially don't have any flavor or taste at all ... ha ha - true though! They used to give away, free of charge, chicken liver, kidneys, etc ("giblets") at the butchers but not any more today where they charge like wounded bulls for everything.
