Must Be My Faulty 'Open Sesame' TechniqueYeah, but that usually comes with a ton of conditions: you have to follow them, check in, post on Xiaohongshu, things like that. For some, you even have to wait in line. It's way too much trouble.

Guangzhou Weather Lately: Freaking Disgusting!! 🤢Alas, the recent weather in Guangzhou has become quite absurd!
- Can you imagine? It feels like a massive, drippy booger is engulfing the whole city!
- This sticky, wet feeling gets everywhere and can't seem to be shaken off.
- For those who are not familiar with the climate of southern China, allow me to explain: Sometimes, a period of intense humidity sets in where the air becomes exceptionally damp, like it is now.
- Moreover, it is stuffy and hot, with sweat constantly dripping.
- Some say this sensation is "like being licked by a cow" – indeed, it's that uncomfortable, slippery feeling! The analogy couldn’t be more vivid.
- I really feel like I'm suffocating in this big blob of "urban booger."
- It’s so disgusting, making one want to pull their hair out!
️ A reminder for friends planning to visit Guangzhou or other parts of Guangdong:
- This is typical of the "return south weather" season, or the influence of summer monsoons in Guangdong, where the relative humidity is extremely high, and sometimes accompanied by rain which amplifies the feeling of heat and humidity.
- Then what can we do?
- Wear light, breathable clothes; cotton and linen fabrics are best!
- If you tend to dislike heat, try staying in more air-conditioned places as much as possible, such as malls and metro stations.
- Always carry a small handheld fan because you will be grateful for the relief it brings.
- Be mentally prepared to wish you could take a shower at any time!
- Can you imagine? It feels like a massive, drippy booger is engulfing the whole city!

Taiwanese Friend's Solo Trip Through Mainland China: City Takeaways (Part 1)He's probably comparing it to Taiwan; people there rarely honk. I've driven in Taiwan, and they usually just give a very quick tap. A long or continuous honk is considered a serious provocation there.
