Your love language might be giving gifts because you love giving gifts to someone who is special to you haha. Glad you found and bought affordable stuffs in Miniso. It's also my go to place when I am searching cheap yet looking good products to give during Christmas.
It is fascinating to read that you have to consume water on a bottled water if you want to save your tummy from diarrhea. The quality of water must be bad or too different for the quality of water we got used to. I will take note of this if I visit Shanghai by any chance.
I hope workers are having a proper rest and they are not overworked.
Thank you for your kind words and engaging comment:) My first visit was indeed little bit of cultural shock, but again l haven't travelled that much before. Now I see things in different light. l was always happy to get back to China. I've spent there lovely time too :)
Over about 3 years I've seen good few factories and conditions there varied. Big suppliers had their workplaces in way better condition, but of course they have higher prices. And for fast fashion, sadly - is all about a price.
With water I think it is more about microbial flora than anything else.
Thank you for your visit @cli4d!
Welcome! Happy to read and learn thru experience of others :))
