#1 Fortune Cookie Writer
If you had watched some American films or tv shows, you probably have people crack open a fortune cookie that contains a strange message from the universe or a wise piece of advice. Do you know there are actually real people writing the messages in fortune cookies?

#2 Professional Cuddler
In Malaysia, when we stressed out and felt the parts of our body aching, we go for a foot massage, facial, spa or a whole-body massage. However, in the U.S., there is an alternative option called Cuddling Therapy.
This is where you go to a therapist, which is a total stranger, then hug each other to chase away all your physical and mental negativities.

Panda is called the ‘National Treasure’ by China. China often uses pandas as diplomatic gifts to other countries.
