    The year is 2342. The car-brained residents of San Francisco’s Sunset District have continued their tradition of recalling politicians and voting against parks, something they have done for the last 320 years. Nobody should have nice things, they say, because I need to drive one minute faster

    A few more days with my preferred breakfast options (Noodles) I’m having the spicy noodles (which aren’t spicy to me), with a side of extra chillies #Food #ChineseFood #Malaysia

    Someone posted on a subreddit saying they were interested in meeting other female hikers because they were new to San Francisco. I said sure, and immediately received a bunch of dick pics. This is like the time I went to a bar and met a guy who was sad that he didn’t have any friends after moving, and when we started texting he got upset that I would invite him to things without first letting him know that I don’t fuck cis men

    I can’t wait to go back to the U.S. which is now under Shawarma Law No lettuce (ugh), and with a side of Bepsi please I think that a cool Syrian - San Diego combo would be a shawarm-ritto with French fries (Al Pastor came from Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. Just look at the trompo)

    Every time an Aussie or kiwi asks ‘where can I find coffee in San Francisco as good as in Australia or New Zealand’ the correct answer is ‘nowhere. Try some Chinese tea instead.’

    I get spam text messages like ‘hey how was that restaurant’ and ‘I wanna buy you a steak’ and ‘let’s go get hotpot’

    People who have been convinced that San Francisco is super dangerous: ‘How dangerous is this block?? Can I walk there late at night?’ Ma’am the Ritz Carlton is right there. Presidents stay here when they are in town. You are primarily in danger of running out of breath walking up the hill, or being run over by a driver or cable car

    Very happy with the results but let’s not forget also that in several states things are even worse now for trans people

    The king of England is in the Caribbean to acknowledge their great suffering (no mention who caused it). It started pouring while he was on a field and he looks absolutely livid that he’s being rained on. Vile people, vile institution, vile legacy all around the world.

    If you’re an elderly Chinese person in SF Chinatown, living in a 8x10 box in Chinatown and being around your friends, walking and taking the bus, eating all the food you care about, having cheap groceries everywhere around you, having health and food services that speak your language, is an infinitely better life than living in a suburb with no one your age and nothing that reminds you of home. I don’t understand why this is so hard to understand, but over-prioritizing big homes over community...

    Some days I forget that not everyone has the same gut bacteria. I am so very happy eating all over South and Southeast Asia. Not everyone in Singapore is like this. I have forged my gut of steel through three decades of exposure, constant street food eating, and just generally spending copious amounts of time in my many parts of my favorite parts of the world. My friends have photos of random aunties I don’t know in India and Indonesia putting food in my mouth. In a train. In a bus. On the...

    I think Chinese vegetarian food is spectacular. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years. Lingzhi Greens in Singapore is a Chinese fine dining vegetarian spot that hits it out of the park. I always enjoy going there Their herbal soups are also very good https://maps.app.goo.gl/7GAkJdQ99ePgnzQq6?g_st=ic #Food #Singapore #ChineseFood

    India is a country of extremes. The other night we went to dinner at a fancy spot, fancier than anything most places, but the power went out 14 times (I counted). The streets are full of people in luxury cars alongside people in grinding poverty. I’ve been coming here for 22 / 23 years; you see this in some places more than others. I know people in Bangalore who make so much money that would be 75th percentile in the Bay Area. But there are also people who have almost nothing. A decade a...

    In India, you can get food from various towns and cities delivered to your train seat, when your train halts somewhere for a bit 100% refund if they don’t make it #India #Trains #IndianRailways #Food

    Reading about bland food on Reddit. In four decades of life I think I can count the number of times I have had food that might be considered truly bland.. with one hand. I intend to keep it that way

    Stifling my laughter as I read some recent western Buddhist convert say they think Buddhist theocracies will be amazing. Who’s going to tell them about Sri Lanka and Myanmar and how very not amazing it was
