He says poo poo like he's in hiding but he also used to just hang around in the Pink Cow so he must not be trying hard.

Care to elaborate? What is Pink Cow? Why don't you believe him? Is there an actual record of him working for the newspaper/articles he published in the 90's onward?

He was always down to play dice all night and mooch drinks and chase dancers and drive me around on his motor scooter and there wasn't anything better to do? And how are you going to have an adventure without a Turk?

Yo I'm not doubting it happened to you and I don't think any of us were, but "touts will literally abduct you" is not exactly an accurate statement because the suggestion is that it's a regular occurrence, which I doubt, and most people here doubt, based upon our combined decades of living in Japan, and Aredna's presumably literal decade of boozing in Roppongi (which is impressive when you consider he hasn't been in Japan for a decade, but Roppongi tends to warp time).

For example I've had a couple old Japanese assholes literally try to fight me, but I don't make the statement "Japanese people will try to fight you" because those were the actions of a individuals and not really enough of a sample size to make broad claims about people. Expats making claims like this not realizing how ridiculous their generalizations are is a common occurrence and the thread, the individuals in it, and myself, reacted as we usually do.

It wasn't until later that the details of your posts suggested that you were a woman and I didn't realize myself. Congrats, you're getting treated like any other poster here does; this is equality.

For fucks sake the whole thread repeatedly called ooohboy a trash human being with no friends and not even he huffed off so quick.

Why are people turning this into the gently caress the patriarchy thread?

For actual content earlier I saw a woman trip up on the curb because she was playing with her phone and not watching where she was going. She got up and turned around shouting, I guess she thought someone had tripped her, then realised no one was there. She stood there looking confused for a few seconds, and then started screaming at the curb.

My one and only Chinese bro was a guy I met in a McDonald's at like 4 in the morning after a night club closed, he was pretty drunk too and wanted to know if it was true that foreigners all had big dicks. He told me that his name was "Migger." I tried to convince him that this was not an acceptable English name, and not in fact any form of English "name" at all... but he insisted I was wrong. He was pretty buff for a Chinese guy and wanted to arm wrestle me, but we were both too drunk to do it right.

We became very good friends. He was from Anhui and introduced me to a bunch of really cool Anhui people. Plus his hobbies were lifting weights and drinking instead of basketballs and counter-strike. He lived with his girlfriend and in all the time I knew him never cheated on her, which makes him a pretty stand up Chinese guy IMO.

His best pal was a sleazy dude with emo-kid glasses named "Poon" who was a hound and an inveterate dice cheater by means of a long-nailed "lucky finger." He told me "in fact, when I first meet Poon, I really do not like him. Many people also do not like him when they meet, and one day, he make me very angry and we have a fistfight, but after that we are good friends, and really, now he is my best friend." He and Poon taught me the joys of getting wasted and screaming along to "好汉歌” at a KTV.

Even like two years after I met him, after he was well schooled in American slang, he would insist that "Migger" was in fact an English name, because he had searched for it on Skype and "many people have it."

Some of my happiest memories of China are just spending an evening with mig-mog out in the muggy Guangdong heat, next to some stinky canal, shooting the poo poo, drinking 3rmb beers, eating peanuts, playing dice on some rickety-rear end old wooden table.

One of my students told me an awesome joke the other week.

Well, okay, one of my students told me a really dumb joke the other week. But it's exactly the joke that a specific subset of children would make, and I think it's great. Taiwan has different slang than the mainland, and I won't claim to be an expert on it, but one thing is 雞雞, jiji, chickenchicken--when you repeat them it's "dick" or "cock" (same as English--funny how that works).

A man has two kids, GG and Earth. One day GG goes missing, so he calls the police.

"My GG is missing!" He shouts.

"Oh yeah?!" The angry policeman shouts. "What's it look like?!"

"Bigger than Earth!"





I really love that one just because it has to come from such a specific audience. Only a bilingual child in Taiwan would think that was funny.

The only other time I've heard that slang used in earnest was when another goon and I ended up in a Taiwanese gangster bar and a shitfaced dude came up and asked us if we had big dicks.

I got roped into a teach English to rich kids thing once and had them draw an animal on the board and give it's English name. Little kids draw pictures of animals, it's cute.

One little girl drew a picture of a bird holding some coiled up poop in its beak, with stink waves coming off of it, and said 屎鸟! 屎鸟!

This whole seedy area that everyone is talking about is like literally around 150m of street in Roppongi and like 300m? square in Kabukicho that's actually seedy. For all they're tiny areas people sure do seem to talk about them a lot. Including in every Asia thread.

Edit: but it's probably fair game because I'm sure China has claimed Japan at some point

In my classroom in Thailand we had to add a class rule: STUDENTS MAY NOT HIT EACH OTHER IN THE EGGS. This came after some kids were playing a game during break that looked weird to me at first, since it was basically just like patty-cake, except the boys were playing it. Hell, sure I thought, different culture, different ideas of what's male or female--until I figured it out. In that version of patty-cake, if you gently caress up the pattern, the other guy gets to punch you straight in the nuts.

Instead he will likely post an album of fifty or more photos, each of them featuring a blurry off angle view of a small part of the suit, coupled to a long drawn out description of each image that almost provides an interesting story or explanation of what's going on during his day.
