LOL Fake protesters are cheap. Hong Kongers get HKD$600 while dirty mainlanders only get HKD$300 and some losers only got HKD$100 and lunch. All the payments are for "Transport".quote:Some protesters who rallied in support of Beijing’s interference in the oath-taking row have revealed that they were paid to attend Sunday’s demonstration outside the legislature. loving Mainlanders.

“They are Chinese people, so why are they protesting against China?” She said while holding a different passport and currency than Chinese, who need to buy a special permit to make more than two free trips per year into Hong Kong.

I always find it funny how on hand HK is derided in China for licking the boots of their imperial overlords, yet on the other hand HK independence is this grave and serious insult. Several Chinese people I've talked to genuinely believe that China somehow liberated HK from under the British yoke and that HK'ers should be grateful towards Beijing.

I've had this conversation multiple times today: Me: "I need a hair cut. I want to find a good place to get a hair cut. Do you know of one?" Them: "Just cut your own hair. You save money." Me: "No, I want to keep the style I have. I don't know how to cut hair, and I am not going to buzz my hair off like 99% of Chinese men." Them: "But you save money! You don't like saving money?" Me: "I am not cutting my own hair. If I could cut my own hair as good as a barber or stylist, we wouldn't be having this conversation." Them: "Why do you not like to save money? That is the price of a dinner. You can go to eat dinner and cut your own hair!" Me: "Ok." Them: "You will cut your own hair now?" Me: "No." Them: "You can save money!!" And that's how I learned the reason why a majority of Chinese men buzz their hair and all look exactly the same.

Blah blah." and I wrote this huge GBS post about how it's not what she thinks and then I stopped and read it again and felt I looked ridiculous even if everything is totally true, so I deleted it and said China has 5000 years of culture and be careful of some of the food because you get the squirts. I recommended she take a trip here some time for vacation, because I am totally sure she'd love it and how culturally rich it is. Yeah, nobody believes expat stories about China. North Americans in particular. The more liberal they are the less they believe.

When it comes to low taxation and free market, it's 2 systems. When it's about politics and soverignty it's one country! fish and chips and dip posted:I always find it funny how on hand HK is derided in China for licking the boots of their imperial overlords, yet on the other hand HK independence is this grave and serious insult.

It was 2005 and the city came to a stand still. No tourism, no investment nothing. That's when the economic flood gates opened. People from 17 mainland cities could visit Hong Kong on an individual basis. The economy got jumped started and got back on its feet.

i'm the old man in the shower who won't stop checking you out while practically screaming some chinese song. i'm still the old guy when i finish the shower and go to blow dry my butthole and pubes, while still singing, tho it sounds like screaming to you. i'm also the old guy when i go to dress myself, put on my socks, my undershirt, and then have a screaming 14 minute conversation with some other guy about eating food. i'm no longer the old guy when he leaves. my out of body experience has finished. then i'm just left with a feeling of loneliness and destitution, while i'm in a quiet locker room

Old guy who walks over to you using the urinal and literally peers over the barrier/your shoulder so I can check out your pepper (bonus points if he sucks air/smacks lips while doing so) Also the old guy who has active herpes sores all over his mouth and dilz because I use cheap hookers/share bottles with guys who do (bonus points if he spits on the floor at any time) Don't forget the guy with the feet caked in fungus, and the 2" toenails (bonus points if he has at least one foot up on the benches more often than not) Don't you love the old guy who decides to take a piss in one of the shower stalls and turns his back to the wall mid-piss (bonus points for pissing far enough away that it will not drain by itself) Guy clip his head off a locker/bench because he was too drunk and tried to take off one of his socks. (bonus points if he passes out/sprays blood) Worst thing I ever saw was a guy's water (from the shower) turn from clear to brown for about 15 seconds as it ran through his rear end crack and pooled on the floor below him (he obviously just took a poo poo and never bothered to wipe). I turned off my shower and moved two positions further from him. This was not something that was commonplace as an older Chinese guy on the other side of him shot me an "oh poo poo look" and moved another two positions away from him like I did.

Haier posted:Not locker room chat, but My ex-GF told me that when she was taking women's swimming lessons she would often see women put on their bathing suits on and not tuck the bush into the suit. It would be bursting out on either side of the crotch portion and she said it always made her giggle like a child, especially because nobody gave any fucks and it was often younger women with this problem. as someone who works out solely by swimming, i go to a university pool to swim and if i get there during a university class, you will see pubic hair busting out all over the place. the problem is swimsuits they sell (which are like professional or sport swim suits that are super tight), they sell to beginning swimming students, who just kinda of flop around, wave their arms in the water, and have no idea how high cut they are. that or the people just walk around and will literally just bump into you even if you try to ignore them. this may sound nice but it is also full of dudes who do not know how to wear a speedo. i wish there was a pool that didn't have this problem, but all the pools are either at high schools or universities. :X

Well, in a lot of the world, the word bathhouse actually refers more to what we would call public baths, that is, where the public go to bathe. In these places they are places of basic hygiene rather than relaxation and cleansing.
