That struck me in so many places in China, like you’d be eating dinner on the street at like 10pm and there would just be smol children bumbling around doing kid stuff and any time one of them looked to be blundering in the direction of danger a random adult would just scoop them up and point them back in the direction of safety.
I’m tired of hearing “china numba 1” jokes over the years, but it really is (or was, it’s been a while since I visited) my fave developed nation. Not a utopia by any stretch of the imagination (I’m always on the lookout for griminess cuz that’s my aesthetic) but yeah, just… really cool. Vietnam and Laos also compete hard for favourite places on earth in my mind.
