"China has 5000 years of history!" "OK, show me some of that history." "We broke it all or burned it. Believe me, though." Some of of was lost as well. Most of it is buried in a mountain in Taipei, should have a look there... I hear some of it is in a museum over there as well.

so my office is moving buildings. this is an amazing process. it started last spring, when we were told we would be moving offices. we were told maybe august, maybe september, maybe november. no one seemed to know, other than the fact that we were moving. as the time got closer, we were told "we aren't sure, just wait, we will move soon". last week, we were told we are moving this week. maybe wednesday, maybe thursday. no one was sure. finally we were told last friday. we will move on wednesday! everyone was happy and excited. monday came and went. on monday i talked to the HR girl, i asked her if i could look at the new office, to make sure there wasn't any horrific chinglish mistakes like the last two offices we have, that have stuff like "to change the history a person to be then" plastered on the wall. she lived in australia for three years and said "don't worry, i've seen the new office, there's nothing like that, it's ok" and i was like "alright then". tuesday came and went. on tuesday we were told "please pack up your things and be ready at 1pm wednesday, the moving company will come then". tuesday afternoon was filled with the staff, foreign and chinese, packing up everything we owned. we get to the office on wednesday, its moving day! woo! our electricity is shut off and we get there and everyone is just hanging out. we are moving across the street, to a new building connected to the four seasons. super nice building from the looks of it. we will move at 1pm. around 12:30, we are told "maybe wait until 1:30 to 2", we said ok. around 1:30pm three chinese guys show up. they are the moving company. we have like 30 people in company and all of us have tons of books and stuff. they look around, smoke a cig, and leave. around 2pm we are waiting for the moving company, i go to the bathroom, i come back and all the foreigners are gone. i figured they went to go get a coffee or something, but they actually went across the street to our new building to move their stuff, even though they weren't supposed to. i get a message at 2:30pm from this guy rich who says "are you sure we are moving to this building? because no one knows who we are, no one seems ready for us and this place looks like a war zone", so i ask our HR girl about it and she says "it isn't ready! you are supposed to wait! we will go at 4pm today with our company boss!" so i tell rich "yo you aren't supposed to go there yet, hang tight, come back". no one comes back, i later learn they all went to a bar to drink. i joined them later, but at this point i was waiting at the office. around 3pm our HR girl says "the moving company has ran away, they will not move us today, you can have tomorrow off, everyone can have tomorrow off", I say "what, the moving company ran away?" and she says "yeah, they said it was too much work". so the moving company that we have contracted to move us, to like, do their job, that their company does, thinks we are too much work. so they won't do it. uh, ok. around 3:10pm i get this picture from this guy andy, who had gone over to the new office. this is two hours AFTER we were supposed to move into this building. like...this is the new office people chose to move to on wednesday the 28th at 1pm. and everyone kept looking at it and kept being like "yup, we will move on wednesday at 1pm", even up until like wednesday at noon, people were like "we will be ready to go at wednesday at 1pm", and then after 1pm came, it was "wait an hour, we will be ready at 2pm" but like, who in the world thought this would be ready in an hour? so they told us to take today off, but come in on friday. and the entire foreign staff said "yeah we will take friday off too, no way that building is ready" and this one chinese girl was like "why would you take it off, we have to work on friday" and one guy said "LOOK AT THIS, do you think it will be ready?" and she said "why not, they said we will work on friday, so we should go there to work" i'm expecting a message in our work chat group around 4:45pm today that says "no work tomorrow, have a rest". in fact, i expect a bunch of these messages for the next week or two, because this does not look remotely ready to move into. and we can't go back to our old office because everything is packed up and finished. how hard is moving? shouldn't it be like "here is a new office. its ready. great. pack up your stuff. a moving company moves it to the new office. start work again" this is like "we want a new office. we will move on this day. pack up your stuff. lets go. poo poo it looks like its half done. wait an hour. wait another hour. poo poo take tomorrow off. in fact take a week off. we may or may not move next week. just hang tight for a minute" yesterday ended with our staff getting really drunk together and laughing and enjoying our lives because what the hell are we supposed to do when china rules the world

Has anyone ever been able to ask the people who do this poo poo "What did you expect would happen?" and get an honest answer regarding their thought process? I cannot convey how charmed my time in China feels after hearing Chinagoon anecdotes. In 3.5 years I didn't experience even 10% of the horseshit you guys seem to go through every day. And even when China happened, it was at a safe viewing distance. All of your stories make me feel truly blessed/lucky.

You will get one of three responses: 1. Shift the blame to someone else 2. Change the topic 3. Pretend they didn't hear the question no matter how much you repeat/insist It's like a literal brick wall.

This exact story happened to me in August. The. Exact. Story. At least we were just moving to a new part of the campus. I actually freaked out looking at your picture because it looked exactly like my school 2 days before it started in September. AND THEY ADDED ENGRISH ON THE loving WALLS WHEN THERE WASN'T ANY BEFORE. We begged them. BEGGED THEM. To look at what they were doing before it went up. And they wouldn't let us. And they got rid of the teacher's only bathroom.

I really feel the same way, at least for work related stuff. My company has a really heavy emphasis on running things america-style and has a lot of processes in place to prevent a lot of this stuff from happening. The building design, decoration, and landscaping were also originally done by a foreign company so I don't have these cool stories. Except the time that a giant piece of wall came loose and hit the ground next to the barista in the cafe area

Reminds me when they were remodeling the library at my uni, well, not "the" library since there were several, but the only library within walking distance of our campus. They started just before the exams in year 1 which already shows some great thinking ahead, and the said it would be open for the new school year. When we graduated a year later we could still hear the echoes of the workers in library spitting up phlegmballs.

OK, here is my attempt: The moving company accepted a fixed price for the entire move and gambled on not having to do much work. When they saw how much work it really is and that it would not be profitable, they pissed off. The landlord of the new building offered someone a kickback to sign the contract and pay the deposit, then he hired the laziest and cheapest construction company around to finish the renovations. Your company can't do anything because they have a contract, payed the deposit and someone needs to keep face. A delay by one or two days is much less shameful than an entire month, so the new offices will always be one or two days away from being finished and you should be ready to move at all times, because it's only a short delay, short delays happen! That's why you had to play pretend-moving. Who is at fault: Idiot 1, who hired a moving company and expected them to do the work far below cost(total incompetence) Idiot 2, who signed the new lease accepting empty promises and kickbacks from the new landlord; (corruption, incompetence and face) New landlord for not giving a poo poo(greed and short term thinking) lovely and slow Chinese courts that make moving company contracts or details in a renting agreement unenforceable(China)
