it is impossible to have conversations about living abroad in China without This Guy freaking about it. It happens in every thread, in every conversation, everywhere.

No one gave a poo poo when I went to Italy or Japan and had sex. Why do people wig out when it happens in China? Seriously how insecure are you people?

It only happens when talking about China. Why is that?

Any strong opinions on destinations for food-oriented solo-travel, w/good transit?

Details: One week, generic large white male, not a bar goer, irrationally fond of dumplings and ramen. Mid/late '17 window.

The food here in China is great. I posted in the other thread, but there's a big difference between the north, south and other regions. In the south and southwest it's a lot more sub tropical so you can different kinds of fruit, seafood and spices. In the North and North east there's a bigger muslim population and mongol/pasture influence so you get more lamb dishes and the lamb tastes freaking awesome. It's also more of a wheat based diet and people there are pickier with their dough. You get better dumplings and heartier stews and meals.

Then there's the Northwest and and tibet where poo poo is just wild west there. For the off beaten path pick somewhere in Gansu. The Lanzhou pulled noodles there are awesome - there's a chain or hui restaurant of some sort in every big city but the taste is just better there.

Some pages ago there was a discussion about calling people out for their behavior in China, e.g. smoking in places you shouldn't smoke.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/22/world/asia/china-smoke-elevator-attack.html

A woman told a guy not to smoke in the elevator. Frankly I'm not surprised why especially women in China are very reluctant in calling anyone out on their horrible behavior.

I wasn't really responding to you I was responding in general to the dude who always says "you're in China you moved there for sex tourism", which I have heard so many times and is just such a weird thing to shout about when it comes to China

If you're going to move to a country for "sex tourism" China probably isn't very high on the list I would guess, after seeing what I saw in Thailand. But China is the only country that people get super butthurt about dudes having sex in that I've noticed. poo poo is weird as hell

You know I've been thinking about this for a while now

A segment of this thread keeps saying that China posters view the Chinese as "not people"

I ask you, how many times do you get stuck in traffic, deal with an rear end in a top hat, or even queue behind someone and judge them in that moment of behaviour?

For example, I was stuck on a bus waiting an hour for what is usually a less than one minute part of the journey. The traffic accident wasn't even on our side of the road.

Nobody's saying assholes don't exist globally

Just that certain contexts produce different, commentable results in China

Does rubbernecking exist everywhere? Yes. Is it especially pronounced in China? I think so. You may disagree. But I live here, having lived in many other countries. Do you? Have you? This is the China thread so forgive me if I comment on the China manifestation and it doesn't live up to your expectations of what the Chinese "should be". By the way, trying to tell the entire Chinese populace what they "should be" is hella racist.

If you can't handle different cultures being different then maybe you're the dickhead. Certainly you should start, in my opinion, by getting the MOBO awards banned in the UK

I'm not commenting on or defending individual posters, but you generalised the thread as a whole, so I think it's fair game.

So for the dehumanising argument, I think that that's a load of codswallop.

People are commenting on human action.

If you think it's not fair, come out here, live a different reality, and inform us.

Otherwise just recognise that very seldom in your own life do you considre others as complete humans. Was that guy speeding pastyou in the pickup because he was an imaptient dickwad commuter or because he was trying to get to his daughter in hospital? Didn't think of that, perhaps. But a foreigner might see that as all Americans being impatient twats who play fast and loose with traffic rules. And then post about it in an America thread.

Is that any more dehumanising than you thinking the same guy is a twat, as an American?

We all judge people. We do that based on experience. People who live here have an experience you don't. Grow the gently caress up.

I think the thread can get pretty bad sometimes but when you view it in the context of expats fed up about poo poo and venting about it, I think that's fine. The only time it kinda pisses me off is when people are making posts about e.g. the emasculated Asian American male subreddits (which are the same exact thing) without any apparent sense of self awareness.
