So what's the deal with those dudes? Are they half Korean? It's actually cool that they're on the show, though. The only sketch show I know of in Japan is on NHK and there are zero foreigners on it. There might be more poo poo on cable or satellite but the foreign comedians on TV here are very much catch-phrase based.

no, they just speak korean really well and are pretty. they were both on a panel show called "Strange Conversations" or something like that, I don't remember. I met him long before then, when he was bartending in some lovely bar, and we fell in together because we are both covered in tattoos.


it's funny, when we first met and started hanging out, no one gave a poo poo who he was..I mean, he's a good looking kid, was a CK model, but we were just generally ignored going out..once that panel show hit, we couldn't even walk down the street without him getting mobbed. I took him out to the suburbs to teach him how to drive stick, and even there in a random parking lot we had a mob suddenly form wanting selfies together.

EDIT - "Abnormal Summit" was the name of the show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Summit

Back in like 08 the impression I got in China was that anyone in a new car was probably driving their first car and had never driven a car before in their life. A billion and a half 16 year old drivers.

Thankfully back then there weren't as many cars, still shitloads of motorbikes. We always figured you can cross the street anywhere you want, the motorbikes will go around you, the cars will deliberately hit you. Years of Chinese jaywalking and still alive!

At the rise of the hand of the policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

When a passenger of the foot hove in sight, tootle the horn trumpet to him melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage tootle him with vigor and express the word of mouth the warning "Hi! Hi!"

Beware the wandering horse that he shall not take fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by or stop by the roadside till he pass away.

Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with your wheel spokes.

Today/tonight I was with a bunch of people at a party. One girl said hello to me and waved and I just smiled at her and ignored her. A few hours later I saw her talking to one of my dude friends, and I realized I had met her before at her workplace and she lives down the street from me. She's the girl that Chaoshan Girl kept bugging me about, worrying I was going to run off with her or something. I went up and stupidly asked her if she was *English Name* and she got flustered and starting pointing at her face "How could you not know it was me? I am the same. Look! It is me. You didn't know?!!!" She shook her cloths at me and said the same, and I just said I was sorry, and I stopped myself from using the "Chinese all look the same to foreigners" excuse because I knew it wouldn't work with her.

She left early and I got her Wechat from my friend and tried to add her. She accepted, but won't reply to anything.

Other than that, the party was cool and we ate and talked and had a good time. There was some younger guy there that was really trying to talk to me a lot and he kept grabbing my arms/biceps and squeezing, I guess trying to test my muscles or something. He was saying it's really cold outside (like 19 or 20) and I must be freezing in just a shirt. I told him foreigner have very hot blood and so hot or cold temperatures are comfortable to us.

I do this too, but to be honest sometimes I worry that it just helps perpetuate the stupid "foreign and Chinese/Korean/Japanese bodies are different" mindset.

I once tried to convince coworkers that white people start having heart palpatations if we go too long without booze but it's Singapore not middle of nowhere Xi'an so they didn't buy it.

I dunno but please don't ask them to stop. Blasting through two dozen aunties like I'm an NFL linebacker every afternoon is the closest I'll ever come to some kind of massive physical superiority in this life.

Saturday a moron was standing right in front of the bus door when it opened so I bodyslammed him out of the way as I usually do in these situations. He spent so long screaming at me that he missed the bus, it was very satisfying.

The 10 robbers were trying to forge their way into a cave containing tombs from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in Xishui, southwest China's Guizhou Province, but ended inhaling poisonous air given off by an oil-fed generator they were using, according to local media. Four of the robbers died of apparent poisoning, reports said.

My favourite bus people are the ones who have to sit down for as long as possible which then means they don't get up in time to get off the bus and start shouting at the driver who just ignores them and drives off. The early get uppers are fun too when the bus is busy, they shove their way to the door past people who are obviously also getting off then panic when they realise they can't get to a pole to hold onto and desperately try not to fall over while the bus driver does the usual slamming on the brakes then accelerating as fast as possible for no reason thing.

It's like this in Vancouver too. At the end of the Skytrain line in Richmond (home of the Chinese LGBTQ apology) the train is always packed with people wanting to get off, but there is always a granny standing right in front of the doors, trying to get on before anyone gets off, who is invariably shocked when she is swept aside by a throng of angry commuters exiting the train.

The only way I can describe the thought process that produces these actions is:
1. Me first.
2. gently caress you.
