Dutch Chinese food is a bizarre mix of Cantonese and Indonesian dishes. As well, we colonized Indonesia.
There was this folk singer who loved Chinese food, so when he visited china he took the menu from his home town restaurant, which had the dishes written in Chinese.
Which is a clever thing to do, in itself, but the Chinese restaurateur in China knew almost none of those dishes
In my lifetime the French petrol station toilets went from horrible squat toilets where you needed to bring your own paper to pretty well maintained, mostly really clean experiences.
There are still some stops without petrol stations that have unmanned toilets. Those can be a bit rough, but generally it's really good.
I don't think the surprise strike will work as well this time. They know what's coming.
