Mine has to be cop procederals and paper money.

A)I just like solving mysteries and problems and have a natural deference to authority figures, so I've watched way too many cop shows. The only one I'm not ashamed to name is The Wire, which is really good and probably is the only one with genuine substance.

B)It's not the concept of money I enjoy, i just like having a physical thing I exchange to get another physical thing. I..."dislike" per se, using numbers on a screen to get food or something.

I know cash still technically has to be accepted, and i've never been to China myself, but in all the travel videos i've watched you just don't really see it anymore at all, even in some of the most remote, rural locations.

I think the one occasion i do see cash being exchanged is as a gift on special occasions and celebrations. And of course when tourists use it.

Again, this is just from what i can see in videos that people share from China, i would be very curious to hear from someone who lives there how much cash is still used.
