a massive toll plaza on the G4 Beijing–Hong Kong–Macau Expressway. The road is normally four lanes wide, but it fans out broadly near the checkpoint to handle heavy holiday traffic before funneling vehicles back down into a standard four-lane configuration.

My dad was at Okinawa in WWII for around 40 days in combat and ate a bunch of cold Spam during that time. He was also a child of the Depression and was very frugal.

When I was a kid, we never had Spam in our house. I didn’t know it was because of his wartime experience and I erroneously assumed that it was because Spam was “fancy” and expensive.

I eventually spend the night at a friend’s house and his mom serves something with Spam in it. I thought they were rich. And then I ate Spam for the first time and it was the first time I’d ever understood how someone (my Dad, in this case) could accidentally reach a right conclusion. Yuck.

My mother's high class Sunday brunch/"dinner" was Bisquick biscuits and Spam

I've always found it curiously expensive (observation only; I've never bought any)
