@pretentiouswhat I was born a Xiangfan man, I’ll die a Xiangfan man 😉 (I also changed trains there another time to go to Wudang Shan, I think. I have a picture somewhere in Xiangfan train station under the sign, but that was 30 years ago.)
@JRUrbaneNetwork I was thinking more of swamped stations and long queues rather than absolute numbers. A bit of exaggeration, but happens often enough here, mostly due to the dreaded “signal problems.” Joke didn’t quite land. 😞
@HistorianZhang My first meal when I met my wife’s parents (in Ulsan) was at a Korean/Japanese restaurant with sashimi placed on a river stone spiral stairway thing. Real gross ones too, like whelks and shit. It was a commitment test, I think. Been married 27 years 😉
@maityman Thanks for the memory! Went to Labrang in ‘99. Bit of a wild bus ride to get there at that time. Not really sure about now, but town was one small strip surrounded by plateau. Remember a Tibetan guy riding by and sticking his tongue out like in I learned in Tintin.
@W_T_Han I have nothing of value to say here but I saw a chance to show off my 1st edition RSOC and I’m taking advantage of it (my wife is not impressed at all.)
@artistfuly Agreed. Or, go write your own translation. (BTW, I’m a Fagles man myself, but different strokes and all that.) “Just let it go” is a philosophy that can be successfully applied in many places in life!
