nanchang, china
Hello online world, this is day 2 in China and so far the experience has been shocking but nonetheless refreshing.
Flying China Southern has really made me appreciate SIA and it's comfortable seats, entertaining technology, and prettier air stewardesses. Somehow there was turbulence, and I don't really do turbulence well. My ear's still popping.
Then when we touched down in Guangzhou, I thought China was pretty advanced after all, since the city was very cbdish. Amenities are cheaper here! After that we took the connecting flight to Nanchang, which, for all its one lane 4 way streets, is pretty charming. I've visited my first walmart. CHAOS.
It seems like food is very extreme here. Juice is either too sweet or too bland. Food is too spicy. Or oily, or salty, or in the worst case, too bland. There's actually a dish of pork lard here. Almost ate a mouthful of it. And for some reason they don't have cold drinks. The tea is hot, okay, but the orange juice and apple juice and milk and soya bean are hot too. Not to mention the soya bean is white water.
But life's good!
