Best apps for foreign visitors in China and which are useless – like Google Maps
China's reopening to foreign tourists post-pandemic presents several digital challenges, particularly for non-Chinese speakers. Essential apps like WeChat and Alipay are crucial for navigation and transactions, but many are not available in English or require a Chinese ID. Google Maps is outdated, while Apple Maps and Alibaba's Amap are recommended alternatives. Translation apps like Baidu Translate are necessary due to the lack of English support in many services. Booking systems for attractions like Suzhou Museum and Shanghai’s Astronomy Museum are also difficult to navigate without Chinese proficiency. Visitors are advised to prepare by downloading local apps and possibly using a VPN.

He buys 106 KFC meals to complete his toy collection
A Chinese man spent 10,500 yuan to buy 106 KFC meals to complete his collection of Pop Mart toys, part of a marketing campaign celebrating KFC's 35 years in Asia. The campaign led to irrational consumer behaviors, including paying others to eat meals or discarding food to obtain the toys, prompting the Chinese Consumers Association to criticize KFC for encouraging wasteful practices. The collectible toys have also created a secondary market, with prices significantly higher than the original meal cost.

Low Consumer Spending in China Hinders Economy There and Abroad
China's low consumer spending and real estate crisis are causing concern among economists, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. The Chinese government's limited measures to boost consumer spending are seen as a significant obstacle to economic growth. The World Bank forecasts China's GDP growth to be below target, potentially impacting global economic growth and U.S. business profits. Experts suggest increasing wages and addressing social security issues to boost consumer demand, but this could raise production costs and affect exports. The Chinese government remains optimistic about its economic measures.

Bangladesh fire kills more than 40 in capital Dhaka, dozens injured
A devastating fire in a multi-story shopping mall in Dhaka, Bangladesh, resulted in at least 44 deaths, including 21 women and four children, and left dozens injured. The fire, which started at a restaurant on Bailey Road, quickly spread throughout the seven-story building, causing significant casualties primarily due to suffocation. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blaze, and a five-member investigatory body has been formed. The building housed various commercial establishments, including restaurants and clothing shops, and had gas cylinders on every floor, which exacerbated the fire's spread. Emergency services managed to rescue about 75 people, with many being treated for critical burns. Distraught relatives have gathered at hospitals as the identification of the deceased continues. Health Minister Samanta Lal Sen and Police Inspector General Abdullah Al-Mamun confirmed the casualties and ongoing efforts to assist the injured.

Playing the Hunger Games
In Malang, Central East Java, during Ramadan, the streets come alive with adolescents celebrating the start of the holy fasting month, which leads to Idul Fitri on 10 April. The community practices include early morning meals, daytime fasting, and evening feasts known as Buka Bersama. While restaurants close during the day, fast-food chains like KFC and McDonald's cater to non-Muslims and those exempt from fasting. The article contrasts the positive atmosphere of Ramadan in Indonesia with the fear-mongering portrayal of Islam in Australian media and suggests that Australians' distrust towards Indonesians is due to a lack of understanding.

An overview of the quick service restaurants segment in India
The article provides an analysis of the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) market in India, which is experiencing robust growth with an estimated market size of $23.16 billion in 2023, projected to reach $38.71 billion by 2029. The growth is attributed to changing lifestyles, urbanisation, and consumer demand for quick dining options. International QSR chains like McDonald’s, KFC, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, and Burger King have adapted to local tastes, while homegrown brands focus on regional flavours. Meat-based cuisines, bakeries, and burgers are popular, with pizza expected to grow rapidly. Independent outlets are growing faster than chains, offering lower prices.

No, these Facebook pages are not giving away Nivea vouchers
Several Facebook pages have been falsely advertising giveaways using the Nivea brand logo. These fake promotions, which have been online since February and May, claim to offer a 250-euro voucher to participants. The pages lack an imprint, have no contact information, and feature only one post, which is typical of fake giveaways. The official Nivea page, with over 23 million followers, does not feature such a giveaway, and the Beiersdorf AG's spokesperson, Martina Pérez, confirmed that these are not official Nivea promotions and have been reported as fake. Consumers are advised to check the official Nivea pages for verification and to contact Nivea's community management with any doubts.
