@villainousfriend @geraineon well, it seems most news articles have even less info than that post but you can appreciate Ye Xiu beholding a mountain at least: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202405/1313245.shtml

@geraineon @villainousfriend Zurich was where Glory Worlds was held in the novel, so they did an event for the dates it would have been happening! i dont think it was super large or well promoted — i didn’t hear about it until like RIGHT before it was happening

here are some pics from a friend who went, i’ll try and see if i can find any kind of official announcement: https://syncogon.tumblr.com/post/790560863604129792/switzerland-travel-blog-except-oops-its-all-tka

@geraineon @villainousfriend i am told switzerland just had a set of stamp stations! ….admittedly as a promotional thing for a chinese media property (quanzhi gaoshou) but maybe the tourism board will remember it for next time

@theswagger (only the cat is mine, the dog was just assisting with a gardening project)

@catzilla do you like honeybush? something like https://www.uptontea.com/honeybush-tea/honeybush-vanilla-loose-leaf-herbal-tea/p/V00675/ might work well for this

@weirdestate that or they planned it without one and then later someone was like “ugh this is too many stairs” and put it in post hoc yeah

@alis i believe poplars and causarinas are wind pollinated catkins so i would blame them as the culprit before the cherry blossoms

i got allergy testing done about ten years back & they gave me a whole list of exactly which trees i’m allergic to which was kinda interesting. unfortunately sycamore was at the top which was the street tree in front of every house in my parents neighborhood 😂

@alis (i do have allergies but i’d rather have the sniffles and bees than neither lmao)

@alis do cherry trees give off enough pollen to be an issue for that? most of the american trees which cause hayfever are wind pollenated (which is how come so much of it gets in the air) so don’t really have much by way of blossoms to appreciate

@alis ooh those are lovely
