Presumably, we are all missing out on experiences we don't even know about. This reminds me of a podcast I listened to recently from the Happiness Lab: https://www.happinesslab.fm/season-3/episode-7-laurie-gets-a-fun-tervention-part-one. It is about how as adults we tend to stop having fun - and it sounds like this exploration of the circular square might qualify.
Those extra-low stools gave me a mental image of roaches crawling up storm drains like in some major world cities I visited. I'm guessing the locals there are either fine with it or don't have pest infestation problems. Back to my beloved land of smiles, I think we could do better at food hygiene ratings as we don't really know the reality behind fancy eateries. A universal "Clean Food Good Taste" sign should be replaced with a rating scheme already implemented by our neighbours like Malaysia and Singapore. A sign showing 5 out of 5 or letter A, in my opinion, will at least put our minds at ease. (I often walk past those "B" and below restaurants because I have a sensitive gut.) Speaking of the other half, a fortune-teller told me two weeks ago that I don't have one. It was a heartbreaking moment for someone like me who strongly believes in the red thread of fate. I'm at the in-between stage of believing him and not giving a f***. I used to always think about an imaginary Korean Oppa who yearns for me from one tiny corner of the world and we will finally unite at some point in time (a sign of someone who binges on K-dramas). Never mind my dearest God, I will make my own threads and they will be mint green, my favourite colour. By the way, street foods around the world are amazing but I prefer sitting on standard-size plastic stools, please. No offence. 😂
Mini plastic stools are quite something to get used to! I'm skeptical of a clean food rating scheme as I'm sure fancy restaurants can just pay the regulators off and it'll be the cheaper eateries that get hurt. I don't really expect much food hygiene in any establishment I eat in. I think there'll always be cockroaches in the kitchen. As long as there are no cockroaches on my plate I'm happy.

Oooh thanks for the share. That's a topic I'm interested in. Will check it out!
