Baronjutter posted:Also simply knowing how to use chopsticks was enough to get a whole restaurant full of people and staff to come watch, let alone that I was totally fine eating normal ol' chinese food which seemed exactly the same as the chinese food I ate back home. Was this in some small town or something? You'd think palefaces using chopsticks would have happened often enough by now that it had lost all novelty value. I wonder: has it ever happened anywhere that an entire restaurant worth of patrons and staff has gathered around to watch an East Asian use cutlery and be amazed that such a person can eat local food?

Nah a lot of people in Asia still can't comprehend this. In Korea I'd get people at my school asking me if I knew how to use chopsticks. People I'd been eating lunch with daily for a year, and who had seen me use chopsticks literally hundreds of times previously. The "foreigner = cannot chopsticks" mental block was just too great to overcome.

I mean you can still get a TV career over here by nothing more than a) speaking the local language and b) having no sense of shame or dignity. Imagine American TV putting an Asian person on shows constantly simply because he can speak English, and people standing around applauding him for putting together a grammatically correct sentence.

ElGroucho posted:I find her constant lying about her age more troubling than her possible reassignment, what a weird think to keep changing. I don't have any experience dating a Chinese woman, much less one from China proper (as opposed to Chinese American which is what I'd get.) So, I don't know if her craziness is in line with what you would expect over there. What I do know is that as a thirty year old, I'd have no patience for dumb games like "telling the truth." Or causing "painful penetrative sex." Because of her overactive clit and lieing.

Accessing Facebook? You're a terrorist! VPN's are classified as terrorist tools in Xinjiang, but with how things are going in China it's just a question of time before this rolls out all over the country, especially since the Chinese government is trying to launch a sort of pre-crime deterrent system which wouldn't work with VPN's.quote:A netizen in Changji (online account number: XXXXX IP: XXXXX) is suspected of downloading a violent and terrorist circumvention software at 12:42:21 on October 13. The software can run on mobile for sending different types of documents. Once installed, the software can be operated on the mobile management tool set for searching documents, games, backing up photos and sending text messages. This software has been classified by Public Security Bureau as second class violent and terrorist software. https://www.hongkongfp.com/2016/10/29/leaked-xinjiang-police-report-describes-circumvention-tools-terrorist-software/

That's $2.78, or, ~0.5% of North Korea's $538 per capita GDP. Our per capita GDP's $53,041.98, so that's like dropping $275 on a couple seaweed-rice rolls. Pictured below: Nearly $300 in kimbap

MetaJew posted:Was that a marked up price for a foreigner? It did sound pretty expensive. Not sure. My guess would be that the exchange rate's artificial so it looks larger from the outside. Also, I'd bet price structures and access-to-income are very different depending on if you're enough of an elite to live in the capital and be part of the formal economy or if you're hoi polloi and primarily living off aid, hunter/gathering and/or the black market/informal economy. Edit: Just rewatched it. It's 2,500 for one, so he pays 5000 for two, and the soldier's looking at them a little like what the hell? Probably is marked up.

I'm so spaced out. I wrote something earlier but my Chrome browser suddenly did that "Aw Snap" crash while I was typing and I lost it. I've been super sick with food poisoning and have no strength. Miracle Baby was fine. She was very calm and normal and didn't do a single weird thing the whole time she was here. She didn't even spin around while sleeping. It was like night and day compared to last time, and she said it was because she was not nervous this time. She told me about the Chinese and foreign guys she had talked to on Tantan before talking to me. LOL at the Brit that constantly referred to himself as a "Proper English Gentleman." I recently learned about "Flanderization" and now I am starting to see how many laowai seem to Flandarize themselves to play up their laowainess. The biggest offenders are those jackasses that bleach their hair blond so they stand out even more. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Flanderization She told me about her ex-BF, a white guy here in Shenzhen, and I wrote up the story but deleted it because it was so drat weird that he or anyone connected to it would immediately identify who is who and it's too close to getting doxxed. Basically, he grooms young girls, professes his love immediately, throws money at them, and then tries to control every facet of their existence and gets his friends to come over to help him convince these girls that he is the best they can get. A total bitch-made weirdo, but she even said "if he was Chinese I wouldn't think anything about it, so maybe he just learned the Chinese style of love." Touché. We talked most of the night and she asked me to teach her all of the things she never tried or had refused to do for her previous boyfriends. I had told her that Chris Rock segment about how a man will never go backwards sexually, and once he is used to getting something he will not be happy to lose that. It was meant as a way to tell her that if she planned to keep finding modern men that aren't total virgins, she needed to get over her fear of putting a peepee in her mouth and stuff in her butt. She took it like a student's challenge and gave her first BJ, HJ, and butt stuff that night and agreed it wasn't scary at all. She had so many questions about hand placement, grip strength, finger spacing. It was like a workshop session. She said that it was the last time we would meet because her coworkers introduced her to a new Chinese guy and she felt bad for lying to me. She showed me her government ID and she was actually 24. No explanation for the lying other than wanting me to like her more. In the morning I was still very feverish but we tried to make love. LMAO, I was so tired that after about ten minutes I was seriously just mashing a limp noodle against her. The part where I wasn't about to keel over in fatigue was normal and not cavern-like in any way, so she was right about being too sensitive. I took a photo of her face for memories. Who knows if we'll meet again, but I think we might. Otherwise, thanks for the stories, Miracle Baby.
