Sometimes, the best camera is the one with you. Cell phones are capable of great pictures now in the right hands (not mine).

Here's a mural in Quebec City, Canada.

That is an amazing looking mural. I can't even tell if anything in there is real or if it is the mural. :unsure: The only way I know there is a building at all is where we see a bit of sky and we see the edge of it. I'm not even sure if that foreground with the plants is real. I assume so, but that gate and lantern, the pillar, those too might be part of the mural! You can get lost in there! I love it.
 
Pretty cool. I think they have a lot of good murals in Canada. Someone on POTN used to post quite a few of them.
 
Fortune cookies in China! I haven't seen them anywhere else! I wonder how many visitors can read the sign? "help you find the luck of "repetition". The bottom says you can take one free, the price is one Yuan RMB per cookie. The fortunes say that if you get a fortune with text matching the image, you can get a lucky gift (a little recursive!).
They were invented in California, USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_cookie ) . This is near the Great Wall of China, near Beijing, so I suppose enough westerners visit to have them.

Always thought this was a Chinese thing. Live and learn.
 
I thought it was a Chinese thing, too. It is now, in the USA and a few other places. But the Wiki link suggests it was originally Japanese.
That's ironic, a Japanese custom regarded by most as Chinese, seeing as China and Japan have never been chums exactly.
