I never noticed women having BO issues (other than old grannies who had just finished hiking), and that even includes my sleepover when there were about 8 of us in a dogpile in my apartment. Like I said, they usually wear fragrances and cosmetics that do a decent job of masking it. Dicky mouse posted:I am gonna ask a really stupid question about korea. Korea and Japan are sort of these weird polar opposites when it comes to sexual content in media. The Japanese porn industry is massive, and you can see it everywhere and they never try and hide/deny it, but their mainstream cinema is really, really conservative when it comes to nudity, almost to the point where they get Japanese porn actresses or Korean actresses when a nude scene is needed in a regular movie. Korea on the other hand has no mainstream porn industry, but their mainstream films are full of nudity. It's strange how Japan has no trouble with porn, but mainstream actresses being nude is some sort of taboo, while Korea is the exact opposite. Outrail posted:Whats the chances that if this happened the students family would track down and beat the living poo poo out of the loan shark? Loan sharks are almost always the ones doing the beatdowns. Should a family try and cause them trouble, they would be on the recievign end of some Triad goons. Unless the family has real serious connections, then the loan shark will always come out on top. Also if the family had those kids of connections, it's likely that the student wouldn't even be able to spend their monthly allowance, so it wouldn't be an issue.

Dicky mouse posted:Is it easy to get laid in New York? It's always easier to get laid in smaller cities so long as you have no standards. If you have some standards (say: no fats no kids, is either smart or pleasant) then a) there are a lot of women in NYC who will meet them and b) women outnumber men and c) a significantly larger number of the men are gay compared to the women. So it's not easy like it is in shitburg, the girls have a lot of options too, but if you don't have some critical fault it's one of the better major cities in the world for having sex with someone you consider worthwhile as a man. Also if you have some weird thing you're into no one cares in NYC, so it's good for those people as well, and there are some places that aren't.

Numbers of mainland Chinese tourists visiting Thailand have fallen to 1/3rd of what they were a month ago after the Thai government cracked down on "zero dollar tours" which involve getting bodies in at or below cost and then using pressure sales afterward to make up the difference: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1140281/three-thai-airlines-face-caat-clampdown

I don't want to start poo poo but I am surprised to learn about these "zero dollar tours" namely that Chinese would fall for them. and that the government would basically raid a bus operator and shut down the scam. I would figured all the right people would be have their palms greased and it would be business as normal.

Yo Indian demonetization nearly ruined my vacation and on a couple of days forced me to wait for hours in bank queues so I could break down enough invalid cash to buy food, since I was in an area that didn't use credit cards and didn't have internet or 3G. A few days ago there were reports of old people dying from exhaustion waiting in bank queues, and back on Nov 9 I was witness to a riot at a toll road out of Delhi where nobody could get through because their cash wasn't accepted. I eventually got through when my taxi driver flashed my passport at them and made up some story forcing them to accept a 1000 note. India, everyone smells like armpits and gutka

I just wrote a big reply to this and my VPN poo poo itself before I had hit submit, and I lost it all due to no connection. Were you only in Delhi? Most medium and bigger cities have 3G there, so you must have been in the sticks. I am really, really glad I am not there during this mess, but it is cool to hear about it. Of course people died. India and China have that special attribute where seemingly normal things tend to kill people. I was there that summer when like 1500 people of all ages dropped dead from the heat and you wonder how that happened, but then you accept that it just happens and no why.

Haier posted:LOL. I was in Delhi for maybe 2 days (internet wasn't too bad but most free wifi wants to send an SMS and China Unicom was being a bitch and not letting me roam even though I unlocked it). I was out for the rest of the time, so that's why internet and mobile coverage got bad and we also had brownouts daily. On the plus side the prices were maybe 30% of Shanghai prices so the early days where there was a 4k rupee conversion limit at banks was generally enough to last a few days, though the following week the limit was changed to 2k and later 2.5k. Being in a laid back poo-gas meant a lot less rioting, but I saw some seriously pissed people in Delhi, including foreigners. At Taj Mahal I saw a group of Chinese tourists get hosed and have a blowout with their driver/guide, as the admission fee was 500/1000 rupees per person and they only had the 500/1000 notes, meaning that the 3 hours 1-way trip was for nothing unless maybe some good samaritan could swap notes with them. That newspaper I took a photo of included a great story about how hosed the ATMs are from this change. All of the ATMs need to be recalibrated to only handle the valid (and new) notes, meaning a technician needs to physically go to the machine to fix it. The article explains how this would not only be a hassle for the rural areas, but that logistically this is loving hard because the process involves coordinating five people (techs, transport, bank employees) to service the ATM, and there are very few qualified people. There are also reports of banks nationwide having problems storing all of the invalid cash pending govt collection after everyone running on the banks, and in rural areas many banks still haven't been issued the new notes (new 500/2000) but at least i got to chew on sugar and fennel seeds after every meal and have people say "excuse me" in the rudest way possible when they want to get around me LentThem fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Sep 19, 2017 |

ladron posted:I keep seeing this particular error among the Japanese, and I have no idea where it comes from It would have to be a two man team. One guy pronounces smoking and butchers the l-like sound as an r and the other guy transcribes it without looking it up. I can't come up with any other plausible way for the mistake. And once it was made once, one guy looks up the kin'en english sign and sees it's no smorking and just blindly replicates it. Or something. Who knows man, maybe someone else in the thread is a genius and can come up with the actual reason. Maybe it was misprinted in a popular japanese->english dictionary, or maybe the government made a faulty sign and everyone just copied that. Darkman Fanpage posted:never smork alone

Also there is an easy solution for your friends and their legitimate money - just open a bank account and deposit it. Even the papers you listed say deposits and withdraws are allowed, just limits on flat exchanging. The whole point of this entire thing was to get all the cash off of the streets and out of mattresses and into banks instead.

'Smoking' becomes "smookingu" the same way 'hamburger' becomes "Hanbaagaa". So if 'baagaa' = burger then obv 'smook' = smork.
