There's an Asian restaurant in Costa Rica (one of the oldest ones) called like that, except it's written Tin jo, but the pronunciation should be the same.

Early migrants to Singapore often formed clans based on where they were from in China, to help existing community and also help get newcomers situated with loans, support for legal and financial stuff and getting jobs

We also see a lot of this with Chinese immigrants in the west coast USA where they also helped represent migrants in immigration, and in worst case scenarios, arranged for repatriation of things (and bodies) back to the village (this happened a lot as, you know; they got massacred quite a bit)

in the cities Meran and Bozen/Bolzano of South Tyrol you get those features as Lauben(gänge), just a bit wider. The old town houses like to show off a bit more. Only you cannot buy dried lizards there as I've seen in your home-city in the 1980s.

Kaki lima, also known as ‘five foot way’. Many older buildings (known as shophouses: shops below, living quarters above)

Have a five foot walkway outside them that provides shelter from the sun and rain
