Thinking about other people and their problems? Thinking about anything at all? Whaaaaaaaat? I give it another generation or two after all the Mainlanders have flooded HK (and the locals have run off to other countries) to make all those weird things go away. Were you born in Wuhan and grew up in Hong Kong?

Grand Fromage posted:Italy was the worst driving I ever saw until Korea. Korea was then the worst until China. I have not gotten below China yet, though I suspect India may. India is way safer for driving, IMO, and I have lived east, west, and north in the country. I don't know about the south, but parts I lived are a lot better at expecting stuff in the road because there is so much of it. Dogs, camels, cows, people, monkeys, carts, rickshaws, bikes, religious processions, etc. There's always something in the road that is not a car, bike, or truck. They can handle all of that. All of the dumb driving I see in China is still stuff I never once saw in India, such as "Oh, I missed my exit. Let me brake on the freeway and back up into traffic so I don't have to loop back around." I see idiotic and plain dumb driving here that constantly makes me wonder how there aren't more insane crashes every moment every place. It's like a country of 15 year old kids who got their driver's permits but didn't have any training and don't need the adult to sit with them when they go out.

HK is getting it worse though. The air is really stale because of the rains coming from the typhoon in a few days. It should blow away soon. Los Angeles is 35 and that makes me jealous. Meanwhile, in Delhi today: I have been to Faridabad, and I will never again go to Faridabad.

15 donations, if a donation size is 450 mL (which is pretty standard) then that's a lot of blood. How is it possible not to be in a coma after that?

Hong Kong's population is ~7,200,000 and, according to wiki, ~250,000 people live in flats of that type. An article from 2013 puts average rent at ~HK$3,800/mo., or, ~USD$500/mo. quote:Fully 45% of Hong Kong’s middle-class couples have abandoned the idea of having a child anytime soon, according to a new survey, with the city’s high cost of living turning them off parenthood.

I stayed like 4 nights in a place like in that photo above where the kitchen and food were less than a meter away from the toilet because they were built into the same room. It was so loving disgusting, and also hilarious to think that this building was only like 20 years old and people then still thought building an apartment complex where you literally poo poo and eat in the same place is a good idea. "Why, yes, I do agree that I really enjoy this hepatitis that I acquired in my house. Thanks for asking." I hope whoever designed those blue prints gets pink eye for the rest of his life.

Accretionist posted:Driving culture gets weird. When I was in Naples, Italy, it was the worst driving I've ever seen. It was like if you so much as made eye-contact with another driver, it was a sign of weakness and you were getting cut-off or not let in. Like, my sister was stopped at a stop light once. This got her rear ended. The other driver said he kept thinking she was going to accelerate any second now right up until the crash. It's like bumper cars except every hit costs you money so you try to avoid but, fundamentally, it's still bumper cars logic. It's just weaving in and out and around all the time, nothing else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjGXn249Fc0

Mongolia has poo poo drivers because such a huge percent of the population in Ulaanbaatar grew up in the endless Steppes where you could drive your car for a hundred miles in any direction without seeing a living thing. Suddenly they're transported to a city of 1.5 million people that was only designed to hold 400,000 people and all of the streets are falling apart and there's no real stop signs.
