The landmass of China is relatively similar to that of the United States. The big difference is that China opted out of their 5 timezones idea, and now they only have one. That’s great if you go vacationing across the country and you’re wondering what time your favorite sitcom comes on, because no matter where you are, it’s the same time. What gets weird is the timing of when the sun hits the horizon. In some areas of China the sun doesn’t even rise until after 10am, which must make it super hard to get out of bed.

They eat live baby mice whole, and duck embryos in the shell. If it exists, there’s somebody in China that will eat it. And you thought dog meat was gross.
