one thing i noticed is they eat well. not in the sense of chasing viral places or going all healthy with veggies, but more like having better, often imported versions of everyday stuff. rice, butter, fruits, sauces, that kind of thing. during cny, when they told us to grab drinks from the fridge, that’s when it hit me. it’s not about the house or the car, not the things people usually show off. it’s the quiet details you don’t see right away.
