Let's Go Get a Fried Spider!

In China, you’ll have the opportunity to overcome your fears and leave your phobias behind by eating what frightens you. If you’re feeling bold enough (and you have the stomach for it),

Don’t worry, this isn’t a thing of elitism; it’s simply the beauty of the

Eggs Gone Bad or a Delicacy?

Is Your iPhone Covering Your Knees?

Chinese social media is flooded with beauty trends which many consider bizarre. Remember the A4 waist challenge? Well, the test of attractiveness doesn’t stop there. Apparently, another way to determine and show just how slim and attractive you are is to measure your knees with an iPhone 6.

Safety? Yuck!

Did you ever think that some instances of the Engrish language were more than just failed translations? I think what they’re trying to do with this one is to encourage us to get out of our comfort zone and continue growing!
