Guangzhou Style
Added 2023-08-02 13:00:06 +0000 UTCDuring the past week I was in Guangzhou, China for work (FYI, this is a city a few dozen kilometers inland from Hong Kong or Macau). Although I know not many Japanese people like to travel to this much bigger western neighbor now, and obtaining the visit visa was a big pain, I nonetheless admit I really enjoyed the stay. The food was very good (important!) and there was this air of benign aggressiveness with its people, that I may choose to write about later on.
In the pic - "Lawson" is originally a Japanese convenience store chain which franchises in China, but it seems China people added a new promo character which is much prettier than our own. She is still Japan-esque, but looks a bit antique (like in our 00's style?). In all, I perceive it to be a very cute intercultural nod :-)

And there were some spicy noodles plates, we were wondering if Guangzhou was close to Sichuan that they were prepared spicy. In all very pleasant experience :-)
