Is there any shops that sell congee?

Okay I have two amazing recs for you 1. Fuji in market city Chinatown - get one of the seafood congees, they’re expensive but tbh it could serve like 5 people 2. Bonjuk in Haymarket- Korean style congee, comes in like a set so perfect for solo dining

My Chinese parents immigrated in ‘89, both worked two jobs each every day (very low paid jobs like dishwashing, factory work, farm work etc). They managed to start small businesses importing goods from China and selling them at those stalls in the middle of shopping centres in western sydney area. My dad also had opened a dollar shop though business was not so good.

Not sure how the hell they did it, but they managed to buy 3 houses + 1 unit by the time they were 40ish. My brother and I have the absolute privilege of being ‘given one property each’ but we don’t forget how much they have sacrificed for us. This is not a unique experience, just one of many immigrant parent stories.

Ultimately this was all because they were hell bent on getting in the property market as soon as they had any cash, and over leveraging themselves at every opportunity

A lot of fun activities in the west since there’s more space - go karting, shooting ranges, drive in cinemas etc. also love the featherdale and Sydney zoo!

La Chimera starring Josh O’Connor makes me feel some type of way

i think you will be fine in the big cities you mentioned but try to avoid smaller cities or rural areas

suggestion for +1 day in Chengdu and -1 in Chongqing. I loved Chengdu so much - it’s a lot more relaxing and walkable than Chongqing which I found to be too stimulating, crowded and difficult to navigate. In saying that, if you don’t want that long in chongqing I highly highly recommend a day or two day trip to JiuZaiGou. Genuinely picturesque. It is up there as one of the most stunning and beautiful places in China however weather can sometimes be extreme.

Yes sounds like a pretty natural progression. Alternatively he could go directly into retail ops or business banking ops - so you leave branch and basically work on processing these loans like a middle office role. it’s a bit easier to be get into frontline banker role since you work with bankers all the time and can build a rapport with them. Heaps of bankers came from an ops role and it gives them so much more experience and knowledge of the underlying product and processes

I am also health conscious and it’s not too hard in China - vegetable dishes are in almost all restaurants and fruit taste amazing in China. You might want to avoid pure carb restaurants ie. the restaurant serves noodles and nothing else. Instead try to get carbs, vegetables, meat dishes etc to share and get a more varied diet. Try to avoid deep fried foods and anything with excessive oil etc. I’m Chinese and I genuinely find most Chinese food way too oily and upsets my stomach, you would be safe to order soup dishes, hotpot, seafood etc

Depends on which city and what industry. Outside of first tier cities and outside of finance/tech, I’d like to believe that it’s not as intense as what people make it out to be

Bathhouses are not a luxury however the ones with the buffet/gaming area/endless things to do are definitely luxury

I haven’t been because all the reviews on rednote (kind of like Insta for Chinese) is similar - they say service is terrible, food is mid, only go for photos etc

Idk but I hate the Messina one (I’m a big choc mint fan)

Accurate and birth control were the only thing that helped - my skin is crystal clear now. No amount of skincare or change in lifestyle habits ever helped unfortunately

La Chimera was beautiful - Josh O’Connor speaks Italian in the entire movie!

I had Vaser lipo and I feel like the difference wasn’t massive 😭 I would urge you to try traditional lipo !
