I had no clue! I just threw the clothes in, poured detergent in the middle tray, and used Google Translate to pick 'mixed wash'. 58 minutes later, it was done.
What is the matching corner in People's Park?
It's a real-life dating market where parents put up flyers with their kid's info—height, job, income, even if they own a house. Foreigners get a good chance because of the 'strong passport'.
How do you eat beef noodle soup properly?
Eddie taught me to blow the oil to the side of the bowl first, then drink the clean broth. Mixing it all together is apparently 'crazy'.
Is Chengdu's public transport really that clean?
Yes, the subway station floor was so clean it was reflecting. I've never seen a metro station that spotless anywhere else.
