i was super excited for the food when i went to vietnam and i had a few amazing meals, but pho is a daily staple there and it was super boring and usually didn’t even have herbs. i was there for a month and the best banh mi i’ve eaten is still in palo alto.

If there's one really characteristic component of Turkish cuisine it's the heavy use of dairy, which really stands out among Mediterranean cuisines. Turkey is a beer and butter cuisine surrounded by wine and olive oil cuisines.

Although they make up more than 20 percent of the national population in Malaysi, in terms of live births, Chinese percentage is reduce to lower than 8 percent

Interesting that colonial New Mexico was colonized before large parts of Northern Mexico, including all of Sonora and Tamaulipas

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

I see people from Europe dreaming to go to the U.S. (I know a few who earn top 10% salaries in France and still apply for the green card lottery) and see Americans leaving everything behind and to go live in the Mediterranean. Tens of thousands of people from the third world risking their lives to go to the West and Westerners living as expats in Bali, Morocco, Malaysia, etc. (Though I know the flows are asymmetric in scale) I think quality of life in (Med) Europe, America, or even many cities in the Third World isn't really that different if you have money. My French friends applying for the green card lottery want a higher career ceiling and salary multiples Meanwhile Americans moving to Thailand or Lisbon are often already financially comfortable and are now optimizing for pace of life, weather, food culture and lower stress. Different life stages and different utility functions, but it's interesting that no matter what stage you are in, you always can move somewhere else to improve, including to less developed countries than where you already are now And the highest stage / the endgame seems like a lot of money + life in a place like the Mediterranean, Bali, etc.

Chiapas, Guerrero, Michoacán, Zacatecas y Oaxaca son las entidades en donde las remesas representan una mayor proporción de su PIB estatal. Con esto, serían las más afectadas con el bloqueo de envío de remesas.

Most Mexican Americans are Bajío Beeners. **Top states of origin for Mexican Americans (historical migration building the diaspora):** 1. Guanajuato 2. Michoacán 3. Jalisco 4. Zacatecas These west-central states dominated early-to-mid 20th century waves. Southern states (Oaxaca, Guerrero, Chiapas) grew in later flows but contribute less to the overall Mexican American ancestry base.
