original
pretty good looking family if u ask me
old sketches of hk (top) and guangdong (bottom) because apparently not even my chineseness is secure enough to not be othered from me when i don't follow how outsiders think we should act )-)o
iran once laid a historical claim on bahrain, because the region had been a part of persian empires
guangdong could challenge genghis khan stats
the "children" in question are the diaspora communities that came from guangdong province bahaha (which i spent like an hour and a half scrolling through the overseas chinese wikipage and skimming each specific diaspora page)
never posted this here omg
Happy new years from Miss Hui and Mr Manchuria, with a surprise China appearance! the Arabic is xiaoerjing, a way of writing Chinese with Arabic script used historically by Chinese Muslims including Hui.

Hi Miss Uzbekistan! :3 what are your favorite foods?
Number one has to be our national dish! We call it "Osh" here, but a lot of people outside Uzbekistan call it "Plov" instead. Truly the food that represents Uzbek cuisine, it's rice cooked with carrots, meat, onions, and chickpeas, sometimes raisins, in an iron cauldron.
...at least, that's how it's supposed to be done. I need to teach Turkey about the wonders of cauldrons.
Osh is served in a big plate, and everyone digs in! Traditionally, people ate with their hands as they used their fingers to act as a scoop to feed with. However, since the introduction of spoons, you'll only really see people continuing this tradition in rural areas.
My next favorite has to be somsa! I've heard of variations of this food across Asia, from South Asia to the Middle East. Juicy meat, potatoes, and onions are stuffed into a pastry-like triangular pie, which is then decorated with sesame seeds on top. It's filling and also very convenient to pack on trips!
In terms of snacks, Uzbeks love eating dried foods, like dried apricots and raisins! However, if you're more of a salty person, qurut may be to your liking. They're yogurt balls made of fermented milk. It's both salty and sour, and therefore an...acquired taste.
The taste and texture of qurut differs based on where it's made. In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, qurut is harder and can last you the whole day! It's also more sour. However, my qurut is slightly softer, creamier, and can be fully consumed within an hour. I think it's easier for beginners.
Speaking of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, my brothers love pranking other nations by giving them one to try as a "treat" while they watch for a reaction.
After 2000 years of standing strong, the one thing that made her knees buckle was a single qurut from Kazakhstan...
Everyone please keep her in your prayers.
