Somehow I got it in my head that paper was invented in Egypt - thinking about papyrus, I guess. I knew better at one time, but not today. I learned several new things from this one. (Which translates to, "I missed several.")

What you are referring to as Dim Sum is actually Huntun (Wontons), which are soupy dumplings, not steamed. The Western concept of Dim Sum is separate from its traditional Hong Kong meaning, which is a style of eating and not a particular dish.

I used to live in China, up in Jilin province, and I got them all except the question about the Hong Kong dialect, which I read too quickly and thought was asking for the most common dialect across the whole country. Womp, womp.

Actually, Alibaba isn't the Chinese version of amazon.com. Aliexpress.com is. Aliexpress is owned by Alibaba, which is a much larger corporation, kind of similar to Aldi and Trader Joe's.

Alibaba confused me a little bit, since it's one word in the company/website but two words in the quiz. Maybe fix?
