@christian.grossi: American tourist can’t understand eating culture in China 🇨🇳 In China you will quickly realize that almost everything is different than what you are used to. The payment system (Alipay). Going to events (no tickets). Cameras everywhere. But the strangest to me is the gloves. You will almost never receive napkins in China but instead you get plastic gloves. But why ? 1. Hygiene & Convenience: While many street foods are messy, the gloves allow you to eat on the go without searching for a sink immediately afterward. They keep your hands clean of oils, spices, and sauces. 2. The "Crawfish" Standard: You will almost always see these with Xiaolongxia (spicy crawfish). Since peeling them is a marathon of oil and chili, the gloves prevent the spicy oils from soaking into your skin or under your fingernails. 3. Protecting Your Tech: In the age of social media, Chinese diners use gloves so they can switch between eating and using their smartphones without smudging their screens with grease #fyp #tellme #traveltiktok #china #shenzhen
