|Introduction=If you want to eat vegan in '''China''' you ''have to'' learn basic Chinese. There's no way around that. Given that, it's fairly easy to get proper vegan food for very cheap. There are tons of small restaurants, everything is cooked on the spot.<br />
<br />
There are also many completely vegetarian restaurants, 素食餐厅 ''sùshí cāntīng'' (this does not sound like [[sushi]]).<br />

<div>Mexico is a huge country with lots of great food. Unfortunately meat is very common and cheese is ubiquitous. Some tips for eating well (my experience is in the south of the country, ie [[Oaxaca]]):<br />
<br />
*You may find that the diet can be very monotonous with a rotating lineup of corn, beans, squash, tomato and onion. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be hard to find in a cooked meal, but are plentiful in markets. It's advisable to cook for yourself every once in a while to make sure you get some leafy greens in. <br />
<br />
*Enjoy the fruit juices! In Spanish juice is ''jugo''. You can find it in most markets and some food carts. The standard lineup is orange, papaya, carrot, and beet (with any combination you want), but most places have more than that. "Jugo verde", or green juice, is a base of pineapple juice with parsley, "nopal" (a kind of cactus leaf), celery and sometimes spinach. It's super tasty.<br />
<br />
*"Licuados", or milkshakes, have milk. You can ask for a "licuado con agua", and whatever fruit you ask for will be blended with water instead. Bananas ("plátanos") are recommended.<br />
<br />
*Food stands and late night fast food restaurants will almost always say they have nothing vegetarian or vegan, or they'll offer the "alambra vegetariana", which is like a vegetable stirfry served with tortillas (think "fajitas"). However the alambra is a meal and rather expensive. For an awesome snack, ask if they can heat up some tortillas and put nothing but avocado and tomato ("aguacate y tomate, nada más"). Or just look at the ingredients they have and see what you can create!<br />

'''Things to avoid'''<br />

*"Asiento": pig oil, often used in quesadillas, tlayudas, or any other street food. Very easy to avoid. <br />

<br />
