I met one girl that had this massive scar on her face. She was beautiful, but the scar was there and it was obvious that she was embarrassed by it, despite it not taking anything away from her over-all attractive face (IMO). All of her photos had been "PS"d, and the photos we took together were taken with her phone and then sent to me later with the scar edited out. I took some photos of us together and sent them to her, and she sent them back to me also edited. LOL

I had a coworker in Shenyang who had a tiny little scar on her chin (1cm long, very faded, not even 1/4 the scar Tina Fey has) from when she was a little kid, and a giant flat, hairy mole the size of a dime on her forehead. Guess which one got 14 minutes of makeup attention between every class.

Eating lunch in HK, it's busy so they seat you with random strangers all at the same table

I make up a 4 with a Chinese group of 3, but because the woman of the group was in the toilet, they accidentally gave me her seat. When she got back she took her phone out and tried to creep a snap of me but 1) she wasn't subtle, 2) she left her flash on lol

It turned out fine, we had a giggle when they mixed up our orders and they were nice about me using Cantonese with the staff and they tought me how to ask for a takeaway box properly (haap zi wasn't working, I got brought sauce when I asked lol)

It's that time of the year where people are going apeshit (more than usual). The wonderful Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) is almost upon us, and the people who have not already scrambled to their hometowns will most likely do this coming weekend. Spending large money on gifts, buying humongous bags of oranges or little orange shrubs, preparing red envelopes (LUCKY MONEY) to give away, big meals, parties, and getting married (or engaged) in droves. Also misery. Lots of misery from the young Chinese.

This is the time of year that people are having to submit themselves to intense scrutiny and pressure from parents for being total loving losers for not being married yet (or even worse, being SINGLE!). It doesn't matter what else the person has going on life, they are giant loser piles of garbage for not being married yet. In my opinion, this all comes back to parents wanting to retire or get a new place to live (or more money being sent to them per month), and forcing marriages upon their unhappy kids is the only way to get this.

Parents arranging dates or meetings between unwilling children are standard for the single. The person might even be in a good relationship where they live, but can't admit that because the parents will meltdown and demand immediately marriage. Parents might also reject the partner that the person loves for whatever idiotic reason they come up with, often being that the partner is not from the hometown. Despite many Chinese not originally being from their hometowns due to the shuffling of humans like cattle during the revolution and later, the parents stuck in the "hometown" are often obsessed with finding a partner for their kid from there so they can gain further control over their adults lives and the resources they provide, without understand that there are no jobs in the hometown, or money is much harder to come by.

This leads to two very common, often-frantic conversations between young Chinese (and foreigners) during this time:

Chinese: "My parents want me to marry this guy/girl from hometown! We met last year at the Spring Festival/National Day holiday, and we talk once per month on Wechat. I don't know this person at all! They want me to marry!I am so unhappy."
Me: "Ok, so don't marry this person."
Chinese: "But they want us to marry!"
Me: "But you don't want to marry this person, so don't do that. It's your whole life. Find someone you actually like."
Chinese: "Maybe I will like him/her if marry and know each other better."
Me: "LOL, you could have spent time talking already, but you ignored each other. Why not just not marry them? You'll seriously marry this person if you are forced to?"
Chinese: "What if I never meet someone else? My parents really worry I will be alone forever!"
Me: "You're 24/25/26, you'll definitely meet someone else. How many people are in China?"
Chinese: "My parents think I will be alone, so now i worry that too. They said I am bad and nobody will love me, so I should marry this person or be alone forever."
Me: "Nice abuse."
Chinese: "Maybe I will just get married!!!!!!!!!"

OR

Chinese: "I hate going home for the holiday. Too much pressure, I am so sad and upset and unhappy. It is the worst! They will force me to meet someone and shame me every day for being unmarried. Everyone asks me so many questions and insults my life. I wish I didn't have to go. I hate it."
Me: "Why not just go for a few days and come back and blame the tickets? Or just not go and make up an excuse?"
Chinese: "WHAT???????? Not go!!???!?!? Who could do that? Do you know how sad and miserable it would be to alone during a holiday?"
Me: "You just said you are sad and miserable at home..."
Chinese: "But to be alone for the holiday is so bad! You are so lonely and sad!"
Me: "But at home you hate it and hate spending time there with your family, so wouldn't it be better to not have that stress?"
Chinese: "You foreigners will never understand family!!! You don't have a holiday where your family wants you to go home to see them!!!!!"


On a side note, I know a girl that did marry a guy her family pressured her into marrying since age 25 was way, way too old and disgusting and nobody would ever love her nasty old self if she waited. She had known him an entire month before marriage. Of course, the marriage came with a new car and some place for her parents to move into. She was very unhappy with the marriage but was now stuck in it, so she rebelled by trying to make sure she didn't get pregnant. She asked me to "teach her English" at my house, but I refused.

Another girl I know is having some arranged-guy chasing her and trying to marry her because she is a virgin. She knows the easiest way out of it is to lie and say she lost it to another guy (or have sex IRL), but then it's her huge loss of Face in front her family and their "reputation." Now she's considering just marrying the guy so she doesn't have to go through with saving her own life and being embarrassed.


One thing I am a little excited about it that most people in Shenzhen are not from Shenzhen or Guangdong, and many areas here are expected to clear out this weekend for the holiday as the hometown exodus happens. There should be significantly fewer people here for the next few weeks and I will finally get to do my walking and skateboarding in a relaxed mood. It was fantastic during the National Week they had off, but it will be better now because more people are leaving.

One more from the Beijing trip.

I see a Tibetan Mastiff being walked by its owner in the compound courtyard. I say hello and ask to pat the dog, am granted permission from the owner and start giving the dog a belly rub. We are all happy. Children then run at me screaming HALLO and start stroking my arm hair. I'm not happy. I stand up and walk away. The children are disappointed. One starts crying.

Bitter and salty here!

I'm starting to hate going in to teach every day. The kids are streamed so one class is full of geniuses with advanced English and I can actually teach reading skills (summarising, finding the main idea, contrasting ideas) while the other two can barely communicate in English at all. Like "we have no idea what you are saying" level and we spend so much time looking up simple words in Google Translate that the lesson loses its focus and it's only once a week so when I see them again they've forgotten everything anyway. Oh and the Principal wants me to enter all the reading and writing contests available.

Chatted with some other teachers and they say yeah the school sucks and they're trying to get out. I have an interview at an international school on Monday, wish me luck guys.

i remember that article, all those scenarios were based on just changing the definition of an economy

so "already larger" is PPP

"will be larger" is GDP

"will never be larger" is GDP per-capita

I just came back to the mall after yet another attempt at exercise. There are lots of Chinese tourists today. The kids of one family were attempting to pry open the doors to the lift shaft while the parents played on their phones. In the atrium one mother was playing "kick" with her son. This and "slap" is a common game I see PRC's playing. In Slap, a child slaps their parents face and the parent attempts to dodge. In Kick, the same principle is applied. So the mother was teaching her 4 year old son to kick her. Unreal.
