I've had quite a few actually-from-asia asians often tell me westerners seem to never be able to eat much in one sitting so how do they get so fat??? I know exactly what you mean! My theory for Korean girls is that they prefer to drink their calories and see going out as an occasion to stuff themselves. Disordered eating is fairly common among most of the Korean women I've known in their thirties and younger. A lot of them are pretty skinnyfat, though; girls at the jjimjilbang look like dolphins covered in hot dog buns. I don't know how Japanese girls do it, though. Ninja powers?

The creator wanted to create something that would appeal to women, and he asked himself, "What to women like?" The answer was food so he made a game about eating. I think women like eating is a stereotype in Asia because strict gender norms limit the number of socially acceptable hobbies for women. There's eating, cooking, traveling, English, and maybe badminton. Everything else is guy stuff.

If it's anything like how people reacted to my blue eyes or curly hair, they're just wondering who your specialist is and how much the work cost. True story, I was sitting on my scooter in the middle of traffic one afternoon when a scooter with a bunch of kids rolled up next to me. They couldn't possibly have been of legal age to drive, but whatever, no one gives a poo poo in small town Taiwan. So these kids looked over at me and because I was wearing an open faced helmet they got into a short debate. One of them was convinced that I was a foreigner. The other wasn't so sure. Could foreigners really drive scooters? Were there foreigners in that town? The other one said that I had to be a foreigner because of my blue eyes. The other scoffed and said that they were obviously contacts. Then the light changed and I drove off, the debate unresolved.

Atlas Hugged posted:True story I was riding my motorcycle thru seoul headed home, and I made an illegal turn because it cut like 20 minutes off my commute. I did it all the time. Lots of people did it all the time. One time, during korea's "crack down on traffic scofflaws week so cops can sleep in their cars the rest of the year" a cop was standing there, right after the turn, obviously busting people for it. He walked over yelling at me, and I pulled down my sunglasses so he could see my (blue) eyes, and he immediately turned around and walked away muttering, proving once again that being white is pretty cool.

I bought some big rubber Satan mask thing one year in China for Halloween, and a ski mask thing to wear under it and a black long sleeve shirt and black gloves. Not a lot of people cared about Halloween but some of the college kids knew it was foreenah festiwol like ah mebbe our QINGMING. The nightclub we'd hang out at had a Halloween themed night and some of the party people and table gals and the gay Filipino singers dressed up, so I wore my costume. It was cool because with the mask on, nobody knew I was a foreigner. I was dancing and creeping up on chicks to spook them and stuff, and some gal and her friend wanted to dance with me and while we were on the dance floor, one of them pulled the mask up to see my face and they really got the poo poo spooked out of them when they saw my blue eyes. It was pretty cool for a Chinese night club, non-grimy, good music, an openly gay dude owned it and aside from the usual white shirt/black pants business or party guys or whatever there were a lot of interesting "non mainstream" Chinese people. One chick I met there and got to know pretty well was the illegitimate daughter of some party guy from north China, she was like 21 and gorgeous and owned a Mah Jong parlor and an art/calligraphy studio, her nickname was "小秦楼主." She'd been all over China and had this big collection of poo poo from everywhere in her apartment at the top of some tower, and a huge dog. She really liked traditional China and her mahjong place and the art studio were in a historic part of the city and decorated classical Chinese style. One year on CNY night everyone was out of town and everything was closed and I ended up getting drunk and doing Li Bai calligraphy in her art studio until the wee hours. :chinarstalgia:

My friend, who was Taiwanese, had a similar version. He had been drinking far too much before riding his scooter home and a cop pulled him over. So my friend started speaking perfect Korean and the Taiwanese cop decided he wasn't paid enough to deal with that poo poo and sent him on his way.

A friend tried that poo poo in Switzerland once and pretended to only speak Russian to the cops so they made him sit on the sidewalk for like an hour until a translator could arrive to collect a $100 fine for talking on a mobile phone. For 55 minutes he was thinking about whether he'd be in more or less trouble if he suddenly learned to speak English.

My dad used to supervise a 911 call center and they dealt with a third party service for anything beyond Spanish. The first thing that would happen is it would go to an expert who could listen to terrified screams in fifty languages and quickly figure out which one it is before redirecting.

I wonder if the Chinese sort of think that English is the putonghua of 'the foreigner.' Like the world is divided into Their China where there are many local dialect but one Chinese for everyone, and then the waiguo, which similarly has many local dialect, but one English for everyone.

Tbh though I would be pretty surprised if the majority of whiteys who went to China didn't speak conversational English. Most white people are from Europe or NA, a good amount of Europeans speak English well enough, and of people who go to China most are likely to be educated and speak English.

You have to ask yourself, if that impression isn't skewed - e.g. by only interacting with a certain strata of people and making conclusions about the aggregate. Aside from Skandinavia and Germany, speaking english is by no means a guarantee that you will be understood without using hand and foot in the general public. Italy, Spain and EE is especially nasty. In places where there is lots of tourism, it's likely that you will be able to make yourself understood, but hory shet, if you stray from the trodden tourist paths.
