From a hotel toilet in HangZhou, China:

From a restaurant menu in a Chinese three-star hotel:

“Picks” = chop


“Three texts cure” = sandwich
God knows what the hell they meant by “many privates”.

I just watched Survivor: Guatemala for the first time just now. Why is it that every season, they pick the same mix of people on the show? For crying out loud, all the female contestants look like carbon copies of contestants from the last few seasons.
