  • In character, Ryan Chen uses his alter ego to showcase local sights, spicy food, and pandas, describing Trump as an 'endless well' for imitation, Chen told AFP.
  • In Japan's lower house, 73 female lawmakers share one women's toilet near the main chamber, causing long queues and prompting women politicians to press for better facilities.
