Guankou

Where to Stay in Guankou (2026)

The guide is pretty spot on, especially for first timers. One thing I'd add about the central area is that the metro station gets chaotic during rush hour, so if you're staying near the Grand Hotel, y...

Jinzhou

Cultural Etiquette in Jinzhou: What Not to Do (2026)

Good guide overall, and the chopstick stuff really is the one that gets people in trouble. I'd add that the same logic applies to kuaizi at hotpot places, if you're at a table with a shared pot, don't...

Xinmin

Things to Do in Xinmin (2026)

Solid guide, glad someone finally wrote one for Xinmin. The shadow puppet show is the real deal, but if you're there in July, check if the Folk Arts Center does their summer evening shows at the old c...

Tokyo

Anywhere in Tokyo that sells "alternative" wedding/engagement rings?

I'm looking for rings that don't use diamonds, but have alternative stones like moissanite or even other colored stones. There's a ton of options on Etsy but I'd feel better about a brick and mortar s...
