Murray Mantoinette posted:This is the asian equivalent of making Minute Rice and pouring a bunch of soy sauce on top and going "ugh, what do chinese people see in this!?" I found a really good bakery in Shanyang that made a variety of bread without adding too much sugar. I started having what my Chinese coworkers and friends called, "sandwich night" as their only experience with sandwiches were the really stingy subs at subway (adding 1/2 the meat and 1/8th the toppings) or those crappy pre-packaged ones from grocery/convenience stores. The first time I had everyone over I made pulled pork on Kaiser buns. I bough a pork shoulder, slow cooked it, made the BBQ and Coleslaw from scratch, and everyone else brought a side dish. Everyone went nuts for this, and I decided to try my luck at different sandwiches. I made Reubans (this was the north-east, so everyone likes sauerkraut) that went over really well, as did the turkey clubhouses, grilled cheese with bacon and garlic, egg-salad, BLT's. Everything was a hit except for the tuna salad sandwiches (tuna, mayo, diced onion, salt+pepper, and lettuce). I was going to show them what a real pizza tasted like, but I could not find a single person with an oven or at the least a BBQ that closed properly. My most disappointing example of "Asians refusing to try food" was in Korea at our school's pot-luck lunch. My co-worker from England and I slow-cooked ribs and glazed them in BBQ sauce we made from scratch. They turned out perfect, and looked like the ones you would see in a magazine. Just as we had unveiled them and the Korean teachers (as well as the Japanese and Chinese foreign teachers) were going "ohhh. . . awwww" at the sight of them, one of the department heads decreed, "Koreans shouldn't eat pork that is prepared that way, it is not good for your digestion". The Japanese and Chinese teachers joined my college and I while the rest of the Korean staff over 30 looked down their noses at us, and all of the Korean staff under 30 looked longingly at the ribs. Naturally, the Chinese food was never touched because Chinese people are dirty, and the Japanese food was skipped because "don't waste this delicious Korean food we eat literally every day of our lives!" Right at the end of the meal one of the senior department heads who used to be in a Joint US/ROK military unit in the 60's* came in (piss drunk as usual) and said really loudly, "BBQ RIBS! and made a b-line for them". He started talking (really too loud) about how some of the guys from his joint unit from the Southern US used to make the best ribs, and these looked just like them. This was the permission that the younger staff needed to help themselves, and the ribs, Chinese and Japanese food were immediately pounced on. *this department head was very high up (outranked the VP somehow) and was fairly well travelled, so he didn't subscribe to a lot of the Korean mindset with regards to "foreign things".

It will probably be South Korea and Iran qualifying from their group with Uzbekistan going to the play in fourth round. It would take a Herculean effort for China to even make the fourth round play in game.

ladron posted:they are swarthy enough to be jewesque like jason swarchtzman ----- Saw an older lady on People Nearby. I assumed she was early forties and it looked like she spoke English, so I thought I'd give it a shot. She added me and we started talking and she did speak English for most of the coversation. She was very friendly and telling me how she'd lived in the US before and it was wonderful, and she loves Japan, and really hates China and Chinese people and said they are all cheaters and "annoying." I asked how she came to this conclusion and she said her family is ethnic Korean and most of them quit China to return to Korea but she's stuck here now. She said in the future when I am not such a young man I might understand. I asked how old she was and told her my age (early thirties) and she said her daughter is the same age as me.  Now I have a date with her daughter even though I'm working on the mom. LMAO. The daughter is attractive and single and Korean, so I am not complaining. The mom lives one street over and invited me to her house for a home-cooked meal. I am still convinced something crazy/weird is going to happen. I can't see how it won't, this being China.

It's hearing poo poo like this that makes me a) regret that I live in a small western town and also b) thankful that I don't live in a giant foreign city any more. Please write a book: "Poorly played in China" No one will know who was being played even after they finished it. Slap a giant plunger on the front cover.

It's different from but related to the standard California girl accent, which is also grating. I used to hang out with a bunch of pinoys and they all talked in pitch perfect Valley Girl/Boy until they called their Tagalog-speaking families. It was weird to hear "oh yeeeeah, that was tooooootallly sweeeeet" turn into what sounded like bird-noises when they talked to grandma or whatever. e: I assume they were insulting me. If I had a mysterious language only my family spoke, it's what I'd do.

The Guardian posted:But for many students, the most intimidating element is the essay in the Chinese exam. Students are given an hour to write on one of two prompts, which are often infuriatingly elliptical. Prompts in 2015 included “Do butterfly wings have colours?” and “Who do you admire the most? A biotechnology researcher, a welding engineering technician or a photographer?”. This summer, Yuan Qi’s choice was between “Old accent” and “Mysterious bookmark”. (He picked old accent.) It's interesting that the most difficult part of their exam is tied to making a concise argument.

You are babbling utter rubbish. Chinese gaokao is not perfect but it is still a way to test students. I went through it ages ago and I enjoyed it. What Chinese education got to do with you? Your referenced Tiananmen square rioting in 1989 is foreign agent inspired and fostered regime change gone bad with those on "hunger strike" to take orders from their foreign handlers some of whom were also mixed in the group. Thus the negotiation results always accepted by front line hunger strikers and then rejected by their handlers after consultation. No wonder nothing would be good enough unless Chinese authorities were to clear their desk in an instant which is of course not going to happen. Hence full scale rioting with scores of security guards and public members being killed by those rioters and vehicles and busses were set on fire. Within minutes of forceful clearance those chief rioters disappeared to a triad run boats and hours later they are all landed in USA with shiny suits and polished shoes to promise to their masters to take China in next fiver years. When come to think about it you lot anti-China thugs, the foreign agent inspired regime change fanatics are really a bunch of corrupt, mind-numbing and mind-closing working blindly for the payment as burdened by American tax payers. Colour revolution may bring opportunity for looting, stealing and grabbing but it is nonetheless had its day. It is miles better to ear your honest living with your useful contribution to the society you live in. To get a real job cannot be that difficult even in such challenging times.

Jose posted:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/12/gaokao-china-toughest-school-exam-in-world My boss hates the Chinese educational system so much that she's making her daughter focus on English as foremost so when she's done with high school she can send her out of China for good. She was even considering sending her out of China for high school, think of Malaysia. She totally agrees that rote memorization doesn't equal actual learning and understanding. You bring it up with Chinese that it doesn't teach them "how" and "why," and they all silently agree because they still can't voice how or why something may be good or bad without immediately falling back on memorized argument/debate points that were crammed down their throats from youth.

One could argue that while butterfly wings may be perceived as having colors, which colors do they have? The ones assigned to them by a human with our terribly flawed vision when it comes to the electromagnetic spectrum, the one of a dog which has an even worse vision or perhaps the superior vision of our robot overlords?

Many insect carapaces are actually white or clear chitin, but have nanostructures which diffract the light striking them giving them a metallic appearance. The may look golden, but they don't actually have any colours in them.

Haier posted:A wing is like a life. The colors of the wing are like the different expereinces inside a life and we have all the experiences we get from life, like wing has colors. A butterflys wing might have 1000000 colors. Our life will have 1000000 experneices and changes a lot. When the light is touching a wing and makes the color change, it is like having a fun time but then it becomes bad. We all know that Mao saw the changes of the colors of China and wanted to make it red and beautiful, liek a red butterfly wing. We followed The Great Chairmao to the revulution, but that is only one color change in Chinas 5000 years of history. So the color of the wing of the butterfly also represents the beuaty of China. Only China has such 5000 years of beautiful history and I love my country very much. 888/10 Gorilla Salad posted:Define colour. 0/10 see me after class.

Vegetable posted:What the gently caress, how is "Do butterfly wings have colours?" a valid essay question? How do you answer that other than saying just "yes"? It's actually not a bad prompt. Butterfly wings (and a lot of bugs) aren't actually pigmented the way other animals are but instead use some kind of refraction prism or some poo poo to produce color in another way. So it's potentially a question about what color is and what it means to have color, and there are opportunities there to draw comparisons to philosophers and things like that and spin something interesting out of a seemingly stupid question. Of course according to the graders it probably has a right or wrong answer and that's that.
