↳ load up your octopus card
↳ in google translate we trust
↳ the giant bowl is for washing utensils (v happy someone kindly explained this to me bc I was just staring at it the first time)
↳ two chopsticks = 1 for the table, 1 for you
↳ carry tissue packs
↳ if you’re traveling in a smaller group, get ready to make new friends!
