Perhaps 40% of ppl I’ve seen in this trilingual city are Russians. Many are surely visiting from Russia, including to shop. See that sign that reads in Russian: “Welcome, friends from Russia!” It feels not only like a lost corner of Russia but also like I’ve gone back in time by maybe 20 years.

"很抱歉由我來指出這一點畢竟還沒其他人提過:Alice Huang的中文名是“黃樂”，字面意思即“黃色的喜悅”或“黃色的快樂”。除了與種族相關的含義外，“黃”還可以指“黃帝”（如“炎黃子孫”一詞，即指代中國人）；此外，“黃”也有“色情”之意，例如“黃色電影”一詞，字面意思是“黃色的電影”，實際上指的就是色情電影"

Made it to Hunchun atop the sliver of China btw Russia on one side & N Korea on the other, cartographic illustration of the results of the Treaties of Aigun & Beijing. Got a text from border police upon arrival telling me not to smuggle goods, fly drones, or shout across the borders to provoke ppl in neighboring countries
