basic hitler posted:i sincerely dont want to believe you people describing this cultural inability to judge for oneself if the weather actually calls for winter clothing/food Same thing happens in Korea too. I don't know if they do this in China, but in Korea the three hottest days of the year are set by the lunar calendar and you have special food you're supposed to eat on them. The temperature is irrelevant, the moon says these are the three official hot days each year. I first encountered this my first year in Korea. It was late October or maybe November, had been cool for a while then we got one of those weird weeks where it went back up to 90F. Everyone was still wearing multiple coats and arctic gear because it is winter and therefore cold. I would have students complain about being hot while wearing a pile of coats. Suggestions they take off their coat were met with screaming NO, IT'S WINTER and then they'd open the windows and let the heat out instead.

When you realize that a 2 year old just called you the day care version of "fucker" and the parents are all "yeah he learned that from the older kids in day care" It really makes you think about teaching kid to go back to day care with "oval office face" and then see how cute it is then.

I was at the pier with about twenty other men, forming a rough semi-circle around our speaker, in preparation for a historical awareness event about the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Hong Kong. Three mainland tourists passing by tried to shove their way in to see what we were kan re naoing about.

The "it is [x] month so we must wear seasonal clothes regardless of what the actual temperature is" Asian thing is so annoying. I live in Japan and they do it here too. It's been like 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day here, so I walk around in a long sleeve shirt and feel fine. But every other person around me is dressed like we're in a Siberian blizzard. And anyone I interact with absolutely has to comment on my attire to point out that it's December and that means I must be cold.

Imperialist Dog posted:It tastes like turkey I thought the same thing. The texture and taste was very much like that transition area between white and dark meat. basic hitler posted:i sincerely dont want to believe you people describing this cultural inability to judge for oneself if the weather actually calls for winter clothing/food It was 31 degrees C mid September in Shenyang when I was there (that month was uncharacteristically warm that year), and the streets were full of people dressed up in full-on winter clothing. I'm talking people who are 100% garunteed to be wearing thermal underwear, a pair of thicker thermal underwear overtop, and then their pants. Two undershirts then a sweater, and then a jacket or two overtop, and thick thermal hats, because any day after Sept 1st is officially winter. The bus smelled like a 2 week old communal towel from a sauna, and everyone had sweat running down their faces and looked like they were on the verge of passing out from heat stroke. The previous three days had been cooler, with temperatures dipping down to +22 degrees C, so it was only natural to want to bundle up. The only people who seem to want to dress according to the weather are little kids who will fight with their parents and try and strip off layers because they don't know tradition yet, and are saying to themselves. . . "why the gently caress are you trying to wrap me in a 36" layer of clothing when the asphalt is starting to melt on the roads?" Haier: The Worst (Screaming Girl) made me think that you really have no legal recourse should one of your conquests say that you raped or attacked them in your apartment. All they would need to do is accuse you, then they could potentially take you for tens of thousands or try for 100's of thousands of RMB. Have you ever considered how you would defend yourself should this happen? Short of having a video camera recording HD video and sound in every room, or having a Chinese friend always watching your two bang, you are 100% guaranteed to always be on the losing side should one of these damaged women you pick up decide to go to the police.

Everyone here does drive really slowly though. Pulling out onto a major road? Do it at 5mph right in the path of an oncoming vehicle. Need to turn left? Just drive at walking speed in the middle lane and then cut across the front of someone as late as possible without looking, bonus points for slamming on your brakes for no reason. But yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anyone going faster than about 40mph in the city, even on the highways 60mph is about the max. I've seen surprisingly few accidents here, and never any serious ones.

I work at two schools so twice a week the company driver brings me between them. 90% of the time I see at least one accident those days. If I'm out near major roads for more than a couple hours I'll see one. I'm counting ones that have already happened here, I've only seen crashes happen right in front of me five or six times. As I write this there's a crash right outside my window. The majority of crashes I see are rear end because everyone drives super fast and aggressively, constantly tailgates, and there's no such thing as gradual braking. Everybody just slams them so, welp. E: There was another rear-ender yesterday too, now that I'm thinking about it. So that's two crashes I've seen this weekend and due to poison air I didn't even leave my apartment.

Blast of Confetti posted:wouldnt the best thing to do in this situation is tell the media to shut the gently caress up about it and pretend it didnt happen? That would definitely be the best course of action for the CCP to take. They have already let nationalist 20-something male virgins get a little out of control online, and have had to reel in their boasting/complaints about the Unnamed country to keep things from spilling out onto the streets. Something like this would just fan those flames even more, so I doubt they need or even want the locals to know about this. The problem is that you have a few million Chinese people scouring the internet, looking for any instance of "China" being mentioned, and this is likely to show up pretty quick even though so many western news sites have been blocked. They will go into rage-mode, post about it, and before you know it the CCP censors can't keep up with all the posts and it becomes public knowledge. Then the rabid nationalists ask, "why have we not put the US in their place yet? Are we not the new world power? Is our military not frightening? Have the tales of our new power/greatness we have been told by Uncle Xi all been lies?" Then you start losing massive amounts of Face. Like I said before, they already have enough "US hate" circulating around the Chinese internet to keep things chugging along for a while. Adding more instances of "US aggression" to the public knowledge without any means of striking back is just going to reinforce their status as a paper tiger to everyone, which Xi definitely doesn't want since he is trying to paint himself as a "Neo-Mao" strongman type leader.

Short of having a video camera recording HD video and sound in every room, or having a Chinese friend always watching your two bang, you are 100% guaranteed to always be on the losing side should one of these damaged women you pick up decide to go to the police. I also realized that the reason the worst girl was making such an insane shouting for what seemed like 60 seconds was because I had told her to shut up. She deleted me and I thank my stars for that, because I still had the whole chat log (and now she doesn't, including the location where I live which is like 15km from her) and it showed all the photos she had sent me (many nudes and up-close stuff), so I deleted all of mine and the chat log looks like she was just sending tons of photos to a guy that wasn't having it. In case she wanted to demand something, I can still be like "Hey police, look at her vagina really closely and read all that filthy stuff she was writing to me." I know foreigners have zero anything here, but at least I can face-loss her. After she left I did some groveling messages to her while pretending I wanted to add her again. She called me names and I acted really sorry and said I felt shy and I have never done this before the first meeting, etc. I don't know if she took the bait, but it may have helped. If I would get arrested, I guess I am out of luck. I feel like they just want to deport foreigners as soon as possible rather than waste time with us. If possible to leave then I can grab everything I own (it all fits into two suitcases), go to my boss's house for a night, and fly off to Thailand from Hong Kong. At the moment, there's not much keeping me here except my windows of time. If my good friend wasn't leaving India for a while I would be considering going there very soon just because I am already getting tired and that screamer was one more log on the fire of smoke I am inhaling. He won't be back to India for at least 6 months, so I am kinda stuck here or waiting in Thailand (a much nicer, happier, friendlier, cheaper place, LOL).
