There is no upside to this goon going to China. His career is going to be worse off than if he were to remain in Canada, his kid is definitely going to be worse off health wise and psychologically, and all for what? A chance for some Eat, Pray, Love bullshit?

If that's 3k RMB you're an idiot, if its 3k not denominated in USD backed by a non-Chinese company you're an idiot, and if its 3k USD and you plan to live in any major city in China and don't plan to live inside a room the size of your child's soon to be filth encrusted lungs you're just not seeing a pattern here. Now, if you do end up in a non Tier-1 city and get 3k in USD each month, prepare to be useless because she can hire all the house husbanding she'll ever need for pennies a day and you'll be stuck doing nothing all day long.

Sheep-Goats posted:Tae Kwon Do is one of the most worthless martial arts as far as self defense goes though. No punching generally and definitely never no punching to the head. If you don't know how to fight I guess you could lose to a TKD guy but 95 times out of a hundred anyone who is a competent boxer or has had any other sort of actual martial art that allows punching to the head is going to make a mess out of them. I'm not saying that every guy in Korea is an MMA champ, but that they have more experience in fighting techniques, they are proportionally larger/more physically fit, and from the fights I have seen in Korea, they actually throw punches instead of slapping, flailing, and doing their best impression of a Ukrainian folk dance like the ones I have seen in China.

I was a lot bigger than him and did judo and kickboxing all through highschool so "fight" isn't really the right word and I also smashed his glasses under my foot when I left so maybe I was behaving poorly that day.

https://np.reddit.com/r/news/comments/5phjg9/kellyanne_conway_spicer_gave_alternative_facts_on/dcrdfgn/?st=iy99x3xr&sh=83b411f1 So, reading this comment about Trump was funny to me after understanding China because Trump is about 1000% a modern Chinese politician. Maybe in the future we can just team up with China instead of being enemies, because the whole "cultural differences" thing won't be a thing. hakimashou posted:Do chinese people still have trouble walking in straight lines and instead just stagger around and stop randomly? Now I reminded of the last time I went out. A few days ago I was riding my skateboard in the park, trying to stick to the designated bike lane (LOL, "designated") and this family of 5 or 6 had some sort of tidal effect where they would pull together and drift apart, and do this over and over. I was watching from a distance, and as I approached I had tried to swerve to where there should have been open space (they were hogging the entire path). At the last moment one of the drifters got right in front of me and I had to stop, and she began screaming at the top of her lungs from half a meter away about how I scared her and whatever else her mushmouth was letting fly. I completely ignored her and kept going, which may have won me some face. Further ahead, two teenage kids on rented bikes had decided to stop to talk to each other and parked their bikes sideways tire to tire, making a barrier that took up that part of the path. People were just walking/riding through the grass around them not saying anything. I didn't feel like getting off my skateboard, so I rode right into the middle of them. I was going to also say nothing, but I figured they were learning English in school, so I said "Move these loving bikes out of the way!" to which one of the kids said "I am sorry" in English. About five minutes later I was riding on the path and the two kids showed up next to me on their bikes and tried to box me in, so I foot braked and they didn't realize I could do that, and then they got all swervy and started shouting in Chinese and sped off. And finally, I was again in the designated bike area, riding in the flow of the bikes all moving one direction. People were mostly segregated on the proper sides of the path, so traffic was moving smoothly in either direction. A family of four were all on rented bikes coming towards us, with one of the kids riding against traffic. There was plenty of space for the kid to get out of the way, but instead the kid chose to go forward while the parents said nothing. She forced an old woman on a bike off the path, a mom with a stroller, and one more person on a bike. I decided to play chicken and the kid had huge eyes when she saw it was a foreigner coming at her. I stopped first and her tire hit my board, and I stood there with my arms up saying "What are you doing?" Her mom just started laughing. This kid actually also said "sorry" in English. I don't get it. Like, somewhere in their minds they all know what they are doing is stupid and inconveniences others, but who cares, right?

One of the only fights i saw in China was at an open air beer/bbq grill place with a tent over it, and two drunks were yelling and throwing plastic chairs at eachother. I also saw a big fat chinese dude cold cock a gong'an cop once in the street and then get dragged off by like 10 scrawny little gongan jingshas I think the only other violence I saw was an unmarked van knock someone on a moped over then plainclothes guys handcuff him and drag him in and drive off. I remember there was a chick in a suit sitting in the van when the door was opened. Chinese girl I was with said 'maybe he has done a driving crime.'

China sounds like the perfect place for psychos to go pick street fights for a few months. How often do foreigners get arrested for fighting? ^^: Getting black bagged into a van by several policemen sounds like a reasonable way to deal with a traffic violation.

One of the most chinese things I ever saw was in Zhuhai along the waterfront road green belt thing. There were two groups of chinese people, maybe 8-10 to a group, and one group had a german shepard on a leash, the other a saint bernard, and the dogs were barking at eachother and jumping around at the ends of their leashes while all the chinese people were literally falling onto the ground laughing about it.

Thinking about it the only time I ever came close to a physical altercation with a Chinese person was when I took a gal to Nanjing and some dirty bum guy accosted her and wouldn't let go of her arm and tore her shirt. He claimed she was his sister and owed him money. I was in his face and a police dude broke it up and just told us to zou ba. Nanjing I later learned was China's Safest City. I saw a foreigner lose his poo poo on a Chinese guy in macau once during CNY. They had a spot somewhere by the water where you could stick huge giant bottle rocket firework things into tubes welded to a railing and shoot them out over the water. A chinese dude had wedged his rocket under the tube or some poo poo and it was stuck there and shot a bunch of fire and sparks out the back and then exploded. Some middle aged business expat dude started screaming at him for almost blowing up his kids.

For the guy thinking about Beijing: don't, that's not enough money to support a family. I'm single and don't have any expenses other than food/drinks and I get by fine but with your degree you'd be much better off at home even if it's not as adventurous.Blistex posted:I'm not saying that every guy in Korea is an MMA champ, but that they have more experience in fighting techniques, they are proportionally larger/more physically fit, and from the fights I have seen in Korea, they actually throw punches instead of slapping, flailing, and doing their best impression of a Ukrainian folk dance like the ones I have seen in China. Did you see only like 2 fights or something? Vast majority of fights I've seen in Korea literally were just slapping and flailing around and hoping the other person would accidentally leave a mark so that they can get blood money. That said, Korean dudes probably would win in a real fight vs a lot of other countries simply because as you say they're fairly fit, big, and despite how worthless the army conscription is they still learn how to fight. I've went out a lot in Shanghai but the only fights I've seen so far have always been two foreigners fighting each other or people fighting over soccer matches in bars then buying each other drinks afterward. Then again I admit that Shanghai is fake China so I cannot comment.
