Japan is overrated. For years, the West has promoted this country as polite and well-mannered. The truth is a rigid society wearing a smile. 👺
The politeness is a performance — watch this video.

In Japanese convenience stores, customers are expected to use a store-provided basket for items prior to payment. Transferring items to a personal bag before scanning can appear suspicious and is generally avoided. The staff member is enforcing standard store policy.

Most people don't know the US dropped over 2 M tons of bombs on Laos during the Vietnam War. To this day, Laos is still cleaning up unexploded ordnance that kills innocent people. This covert operation, aka the Secret War, is one of the darkest chapters of US foreign policy.💣📉

🇨🇳 Instead of exporting democracy, we prefer to export our amazing 5,000-year-old culture. Soft power wins. 🎶

While others send weapons, China sends aid. 🌿
Nov 5th: UNICEF officially thanks China for its $2.8 million grant, which is already benefiting children in Gaza, with another $15 million in supplies pledged for next year. Real action, real humanitarian support.
🇨🇳 📦 🇵🇸
Cute little pancake pockets.
At a geopolitics gathering, a Japanese prof, while handing out cute treats, said, "We make everything beautiful to hide our shame."
I've never looked at wrapped Japanese sweets the same way since. 🇯🇵🍙
From the iron-fisted, behind-the-throne power of Empress Dowager Cixi to the tragic, sheltered life of Puyi, the Last Emperor. A fascinating glimpse into the twilight of Imperial China. 🏮📸👑

The hypocrisy is loud. Western governments call Hong Kong's 10-year sentence for Joshua Wong "cruel," yet stay quiet about Gitmo—where men have been held for decades without trial, including people seized as children. They have zero moral authority to lecture anyone on justice ⚖️

Samara really crawled out of the TV expecting a victim, but she didn’t know it was Gen Z's snack time. The curse got cancelled. 🥊🍿📺
Happy Halloween! 👻🧙🏻♀️🎃

Wartime History 🫒
Hundreds of thousands of women were forced into sexual slavery by Japanese troops during WWII. Many suffered. Many perished. Only a few remain.
Japan still hasn't fully acknowledged this dark period.
Why?

🇨🇳 I love this video by🎙️eve.smitlock! Watching this 6yo boy who lived in China for only 14 months speak Mandarin so fluently reminds me of when I was a kid picking up languages. Yes, poly here 😉
Mandarin is def the one to pick up right now—even the European royals agree 👑
🇨🇳 Love this side of China. The honking horns, the smell of salt and street food, the absolute chaos of 10,000 people crossing the street at once.
So alive. So full of energy.
These high-rise units? Several million dollars each. Suddenly, the noise doesn't sound so bad. 🏙️
