Do Australian politicians raise the communist flag while wearing red scarves to praise 5000 years of glorious culture? Then want to sign extradition treaties with them which are totally ok because China promised they won't use it for political reasons and you can trust them that all evidence is totally not fabricated. Our PM even says china is the country he most admires in the whole world! Canada is trash.

My friend went on a trip to Thailand and today he was accosted by an angry local because he was drinking. How dare you drink when the king is dead? Now there's an alcohol ban and everything is shutting down. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/thailand/articles/what-the-death-of-the-king-of-thailand-means-for-travellers/

I hate all lower class people. Especially when they are traveling and going to trashy areas doing trashy stuff. Actually rich people can be just as obnoxious. Honestly I think it's just more of a numbers game. Tour groups and cheaper places increases the odds. I still remember my first time going to the empty robuchon restaurant in Macau when it first opened. It was not as well known and years ago. There were 2 other tables of mainlanders but holy smokes they look refined. It was as if I was dining in Europe with old money high society. Everyone else were too busy throwing their money in the VIP tables and eating fast food. Nowadays people in china ... bah why bother I'm going to stick with the juicy stories

It's just ironic to me that only now they think "well, maybe we should shut down all the whorehouses in respect of the god king". I also love all the extra warnings about committing Lesè Majesté. But the funniest thing here is my friend getting hosed over on his vacation due to bad timing I'll just say, gently caress monarchies and gently caress all cults of personality even more. Hopefully the new king is so lovely it brings everything down with him.

To the goons who where present in China in late 2012, early 2013, remember how Xi Jinping was lauded as the great reformer? Well he's reforming allright.quote:But this week, China’s top leader made clear to the chiefs of the country’s biggest companies that there is only one boss who matters. In an unusual meeting that ended on Tuesday, President Xi Jinping announced that the Chinese Communist Party had the ultimate say over state companies. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/14/w...collection&_r=0 So, while the Chinese economy is slowing down, and questions about the efficiency and ability of innovate have been raised Xi dada want's to further tighten control and bureaucratize the lumbering giants that are Chinese state owned companies. What I'm saying in short is, get your money out of China asap.

There are loud Americans obviously but as a whole I would rank loudness: The worst sound in China for me are the bicycles with deliberately squeaky brakes that are used as a substitute for a horn. People will hit their brake for whatever reason (likely they're trying to pass me on the sidewalk or something) and my ears immediately start ringing. It's such a loving dumb way for me to end up a deaf old man... Haier posted:Anyway, he goon-stared at every girl he walked by. Like, he would turn his head and then move it up while he scanned them from bottom to top. For some he would turn around and walk backwards for a few steps while staring, and then continue forward. He did his for every single drat girl he walked by. People were staring at him staring at girls, especially when we were going past the bus stop. It was embarrassing to be walking a bit behind him because I felt like people were going to assume I was going to do the same. It was just so drat goony.
