I lived in an industrial area of China for 4 months. (work related) A small town of 1 million people. I think I was the only westerner. Got stared at and avoided every day.
Some of the worst food I EVER had. Both in terms of smell and tatse. Not a single place for western style food
As you say Arthur, no way to ever really know what your eating.
You can try to guess........ but best not to![]()
