    Some elderly people in China believe in Buddhism. They choose to eat only vegetarian food for a period of time, including not accepting animal oil. Many temples also provide vegetarian food to pilgrims. In addition, when you go to a restaurant, you can say that you are a vegetarian and cannot eat animal oil. Generally, Chinese people believe that animal oil contains other aromatic substances besides fat, so they will add animal oil when stir-frying vegetarian dishes to make the taste more layered, but you can mention that you are a vegetarian, which is not a problem for the chef.

    It is not a marriage market. It is a place where parents want to get their kids dates and hopefully it will end with a great match potential. Unlike in the west, people over certain age in Asia usually date with marriage in minds , not just for the sake of dating or play around.

    Happy Valley seems cute! I love your hair that you got done in the way you did! It looks nice. I am so not a rides person at all. I would love a potato on a stick though. We have a "Wild West City" in NJ that is probably like your "Frontier City" or whatever you said it was called. I love the beautiful costumes shown at the one portion of your video before it faded out into you getting some more food. Poop tea is good????? I am so confused. Sorry to hear about the edema issue.

      @jzvr5842 Your family may have connections with people in the hospital, or that was a VIP room that your Grandpa stayed, or that was the private service side of the public hospital which offers this kind of room. As general public, if you don't have connections or do not want to pay extra costs, you get a shared room with other patients. Some hospitals don't even separate male and female patients. The service was terrible and hygiene was supbar. Some patients from other provinces or small towns even commented hospitals in their hometowns have better hygiene than this supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the country.
