      About that potato dish, they washed out most of starch of potatoes then fried it, that's why it's so crunchy 😂 It's a famous local dish. And normally we order fried dishes and steamed rice together, so it can balance the salty taste. And for $68 dish, it should be that size tho😂 take away box usually free as well.

    Okay, FYI, before going to China, the to-do list is as follows: 1) set up your VPN, eSIM, and Alipay. 2) An offline translator in case your Google translator doesn't have a connection. Plan B for 2) Learn Mandarin; one sentence is a must: "Where is the restroom?" trust me, sign language would not work for this question. I knew a woman who tried and failed; people thought she was losing her mind.

      It is not so easy as a tourist because every app they would normally use to find their way is banned in China. If foreigners don't have a VPN it is very difficult. They usually can't even get their email.
      Anything to do with the Internet in China is a nightmare as a foreigner.

      @@aiwogod4799 Most people still carry at least a bit of cash with them because the technology does occasionally fail. My partner keeps a hundred yuan note inside her phone case for such eventualities.
      Once when I went into a McDonalds the Internet had gone down and they were only accepting cash. There were people milling around everywhere wondering what to do.
      It was no problem for me though. I always carry cash with me and because I am a foreigner carry about a thousand yuan in cash with me at all times.
      People claim all this stuff is really convenient but its not really true. Most houses and cars and e-bikes require keys so most people can't go out without them. It is the same with a wallet. A lot of things require ID in China so you have to carry that everywhere, then there is stuff like bank cards, cards to get into the community, etc.
      The cashless stuff is really overrated. You have to get our your phone, type in your password, open the right app, go to the dropdown in WeChat to get scanned, or scan the store, then you have to type in the password for the payment and wait until its processed. If you have a VPN on sometimes the transaction is blocked, then you have to go to the VPN turn it off, go back into WeChat and repeat. Pulling out your wallet and slipping a couple of notes out just isn't that hard. Of course, being cashless also means that you can be profiled based on your transactions, if you care about that stuff.

    good job getting a payment app up and running. once you done that, everything else is easy. there's actually translate apps built into those. when you scan the qr code at restaurant tables, the menu loads up and for the payment app you installed, there's a translate option. in most cases, portions in china are pretty big so for 2 people, 2 dishes with some rice on the side should be enough. if you still hungry, plenty of street food snacks to try out lol.
    google pulled out of china about 15 years ago because it didn't want to put any filters on its products. certain content is banned in china such as adult and violent content, among other things. that's why all of google's subsidiaries don't work in china. apple and microsoft(bing you mentioned) decided to abide by china's laws so you can use their stuff without the need of a vpn.

      @SLAVAUKRAINI-cb5vt There are multiple videos about that you can search online, I won't waste my time here discussing with you about it, and btw, those are not Chinese tourists, they are British citizens and they made it clear in that live stream in case you just watched the pianist version of it. Also, you might wanna konw the London police later came out saying that "beloved pianist" got some pretty records of making a scene at that station.
      Is there an equivalent samples? Haha, we got tons of it, and not just British but also many white-man-burden believers from some other western countries, here in China talking racism while making money from the Chinese, is this kind of behavior rude and entitled? I don't know, I leave you to decide.

    This is the problem with short term visas - You will get loads of people who arrive in China unprepared, and then moan because everything is not the same as in their own country - People who really want to experience China will have done their homework and made sure they have all the apps and maps etc that they need and they would have learnt the very basics of the language
