Uniqueness of the Chinese

5 THINGS THAT MAKES CHINA DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD ☺️
1. China is famous for its food, to say the least. Now, it’s nothing like the Chinese takeout you order after a long day of work. In reality, your local Chinese restaurant probably isn’t serving you authentic cuisine. Chinese cuisine is both melt-in-your-mouth delicious and bizarre (to foreigners, at least).

Bazaars and supermarkets offer a wide selection of wildlife you can make a meal out of including turtles, crocodiles, frogs, sharks, cockroaches, cats, dogs, and maggots. The local palate is extremely diverse, so if you have a sensitive tummy, make sure to ask your waiter about the dish you’re ordering.

2. Pajamas Are the Trend
The rest of the world may consider pajamas “low effort” or “not stress worthy” but the Chinese have very different opinions. Wearing pajamas outside is the new trend and we’re 100% here for it.
Imagine not having to spend hours deciding what to wear just so you can meet up with your friends for half-hour. Despite their age, many Chinese wear pajamas to stores, for a walk, or even a meet-up with friends.

3. The southeast part of Asia is known for its deep love of noodles and its countless variations and flavors in that food department. As expected, the Chinese can’t get enough noodles — to the point that they actually switch out birthday cake for longevity noodles.
Longevity noodles are a cultural staple made for weddings, birthdays, and Lunar New Year. Spanning several feet in length, these noodles fill the bowl completely. The firmer and longer the noodles, the longer and healthier the life will be for the one eating it.
4.Lightning-Fast Trains
A progressive nation such as China believes no time should be wasted in transit. There are some routes in China with high-speed trains capable of reaching a gross speed of 217 mph or 350 kph.
The primary goal is to link the remote parts of the country alongside offering a cheaper alternative to airways. In 2010, the record for the highest speed was of a train moving at 301 mph or 486 kph, making these trains some of the fastest in the world.
5. Birthdays Once in 10 Years
Many locals like to celebrate their birthday according to ancient traditions — the first 30 days after birth, followed up a year later, another after six years, and then once every 10 years. Grand celebrations are a part of the person’s 60th and 80th birthdays.
In addition to that, there are some dates that people simply don’t enjoy celebrating. For instance, most women refrain from celebrating their 30th, 33rd, and 66th birthdays, as they believe this will bring bad luck for a year. For similar reasons, men don’t celebrate their 40th.
The traditional cultural values that influence the psyche of the Chinese people are ; harmony, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, honesty, loyalty, and filial piety.

wooooow what a way of life
