Grand Fromage posted:I've read many times this is part of why Asian programming/IT is so bad, all the good programming resources are in English and they can't understand them. Also because analyzing why your code block full of typos that you copied from a textbook doesn't work is harder than taking a nap and browsing taobao.

I remember the GITS series that came out last decade (Laughing Man, etc) had robot-food that looked like those lame rear end, white bread, crusts cut off things that pass for "sandwiches" in East Asia. I'm sure once the fleet of robots and cyborgs sweep in to save China from an aging population, the plastic rice will be good for their healthy.

Grand Fromage posted:I think a lot of people who haven't lived in Asia read the burnout expat stories that get posted because they're hilarious, but then assume those are typical. They're really not. I've been in Asia six years now and can only think of two real shitbird idiots I've met. Even with stories from others included the number's pretty small compared to the number legitimately doing their best. Lot of people with education degrees too. But how else is a lonely computer janitor in Bismarck going to feel superior to people doing actually interesting things.

GoutPatrol posted:I was reading a chart about each country's main caloric intake. Every country in the world had rice, wheat, or corn. Parts of Africa and Latin America had yams, plantains, sweet potatoes. Except Venezuela. They had sugar. I remember seeing this documentary about some tribe in Africa that are strictly speaking the poorest people on Earth. They're so poor they can't afford a tribal AK-47 and as a result they get run off any kind of land that grows any food at all or has any major bodies of water. They live out in this wasteland with these weird tubular trees poking out of it and dust swirling around under them. Literally the only thing to eat is honey from beehives up in the trees, so they have to scale these trees and get stung all the gently caress up by Africanized bees to bring down some honeycomb and all they eat for weeks sometimes is honeycomb. When they can they sneak down to a lake to get water to drink, hoping the tribes down there don't see them and chase them off, but even getting water is a problem because the lake is full of crocodiles. It's like one of those Civ starts where you just reset the map.

Khorne posted:A lot of people lie about their height. I'm 185cm even and it's not very frequent I see someone taller than me. Although when they are taller it's either by barely an inch or by a poo poo ton. Except when I went to Iceland, like 1/5 people were taller than me god drat. It was neat. I'm 6'3" (190cm) and while that's enough to make me generally the tallest person in the room in Harbin I'd regularly see guys and occasionally see women that were taller than I was.

I'm 183 cm, in Asia all I hear is SO TALL. In Sichuan it makes sense, I'm usually by far the tallest person in a crowd of locals, but it was odd in Korea. 180+ is tall but not that tall for Korea, I regularly saw taller Korean guys and seeing women my height wasn't super unusual either. Yet people still treated it like it was some incredible thing.

Invisible Handjob posted:there's a reason it's so hard to find deodorant Because Asian people believe they don't have BO, not because they don't have BO. The idea people can still believe this after getting on a bus or subway in summer in Asia blows my mind. People here stink just as much. I have students I avoid getting too close to every day because the BO wafting off them. Last week I did have a weird moment on the subway where I was trying to identify something I'd never smelled in China before and then realized that it was a Chinese guy wearing deodorant.

I found that most women were pretty decent smell wise in Korea and China. In both places their skin creams/fragrances would usually act as a makeshift deodorant, and also women smell less. Guys in Korea were constantly oozing Kimchi from their pores and with the older ones you could also add nicotine and cheap alcohol to the mix. On a late night subway or an early morning bus, you could smell their bodies getting rid of all three. In China it was the same, but replace the sour Kimchi BO with straight-up garlic smell, and even cheaper cigarettes and booze. Personally, I found street smells to be worse for me as a lot of Korean streets smelled like rotting kimchi an puke, because there was rotting kimchi and puke everywhere. China just had a pervasive "mystery garbage" smell that was this strange mix of burning diaper and compost.

In Korean porn do they have that black guy fetish the Japanese seem to have? also Where in Korea to people buy their dildo's? I am asking because my recollection of Koreans no I have never been there is that they are very very conservative

You can probably buy that stuff on the internet nowadays, but they do have sex shops. They're just like sex shops anywhere else, except half the wall space will be dedicated to silicon recreations of anime girl private parts and, occasionally, whole anime themed sex dolls. Other than that though, sex shops seem like a normal store, not very taboo at all. One even had a really cute puppy for customers to play with!

Cute and dumb little pugs seem to predominate there, especially at dog cafes. I love the animal cafe thing, too. I tried out a raccoon cafe and they were like, cats with fingers. They knew what pockets were and would climb all over you, sticking their little hands in your pockets and trying to steal stuff.

Dicky mouse posted:Where in Korea to people buy their dildo's? In one of the early episode of Running Man, a Korean variety show, they had a chase in a large indoor bazaar. All second hand stuff, old VCR tapes, vinyl albums, clothes, etc. One of the Korean posters in the TVIV thread for the show pointed out that one section of the place they ran through several times, which had large tarps pulled down over all its shelves, was one of the main places in Seoul to buy dildoes. So you had a bunch of big Korean TV stars and idols running around just arm's length from 20 square metres worth of sex toys.
