Dr.Radical posted:This is kind of confusing though because it seems like they're using "nabe" and "shabu shabu" interchangeably. As someone said above, nabe is more like a stew where you eat everything including the broth, shabu shabu is more like the Chinese hot pot where you dip stuff in to cook and then eat it. Any way, I agree with the guy who would go with angry goma. In Korea you usually eat the whole shabu shabu. Also it's always vaguely Vietnamese, I don't know why. You get spring roll wrappers and stuff.

Not a fan of Hot Pots. Boiling food is the dad jokes of food. Throw things in, pretend you can cook, soak item in soy sauce since it has no flavour.

Or when I point out that people eat rice all over the world quite frequently, when they recover from the shock of this revelation say, "But... they don't eat rice every meal, right? This makes me want to tell Koreans about the Columbian Exchange re: peppers. I mean, you could mess with some Chinese minds with that, too (I've done so); but I think it would be more profound with Koreans.

I had incredible back pain for one month. I went to 3 different doctors before one said it was a stress fracture in my vertebrae. The previous doctors had given me the equivalent of "take a rest" and see if it gets better, after numerous X-rays. I had a sinus infection and has been given amoxacillin for it, which it turns out, hey, I'm allergic. Can't blame that doctor because I didn't know. But I can blame the other doctors when I went to the ER wondering what the hell was going on, told them my story, and their answer was "hmm, we don't know, why don't you go to the better hospital in town?" I had a roommate who had appendicitis and was told to just drink tea, by an loving ER doctor. She almost died.

Do you think the first two doctors or merely incompetent, or did they simply not want to be bothered with treating the laowai's injured back?

I've also had that experience here during my yearly free physical. Last month there were 3 different nurses who couldn't loving do it, even though I've done it there for the past 3 years. I would say my experiences are a mixture of foreigner avoidance and incompetence. I didn't tell the story about the dentist spending an hour to get a wisdom tooth out, though I believe I told it here before. And they also hosed up the local.

At uni I was on a corridor with a bunchload of Singaporeans for some unknown reason. There was also a mainland girl on a Chinese Gvt scholarship who took over the International Students Association (because of course) and a Hong Kong girl who would only hang out with other canto people behind her closed door being really loud until the small hours every drat night, and also sometimes had obnoxiously loud sex so you had to bang on the wall (lol pun) to get her to shut up. Mainland girl socialised with us, honkytonk girl actively avoided us. Anyway to get to the point, we did da bin lo in rice cookers with the lids open for chinese new year and it kicked rear end. Hot pot is about the company you share it with.

So it is Sunday here. I worked from like 11am yesterday until 9pm, then took a 3 hour walk so I wouldn't have to sit anymore. My brain wouldn't shut up and I fell asleep at about 6am, waking at 10:30am. I am still working now, because I won't get a weekend due to some stuff I need to finish, and I am in the crankiest mood ever. Like, even the most basic stuff is pissing me off, and my eyes are bloodshot and tired, and the last thing I want to do is sit here. If I try, I will finish it at about 5pm, and then I can go out. I was invited to dinner, but then the person that invited me was invited to a late lunch, so now she's too full to eat even though she's trying to claim that's not true. I want to take a walk, buy some lovely food outside, eat it, and continue walking while listening to whatever I have. In any other country I would have no problem with this plan, but because even on a good day outside in China I want to slap people, I don't know how I would react today. It's Sunday, which is the worst day to do anything. I don't want to stay inside, and I can't because I need to buy food. Even the supermarket is too much of a headache regularly. China, I got no mood for your bullshit today. I am going lay on the floor, smear grape jam on my neck, and try to make my hamster slit my throat very, very slowly. And - VIRGIN UPDATE: She's been claiming up and down she's not a virgin. I asked her to tell me her first time. She refused. I said she's not helping her case. It took a while, but she said it. Her: "He was from India." Me: "Nope. I don't believe this already. Try harder." Her: "Really. I met him and he said he liked me and pushed me to have sex soon." Me: LOL Her: "It is true! I liked him and he was handsome, but later when I saw his personality I didn't like him." Me: "So how did you have sex then?" Her: "He really wanted." Me: "And?..." Her: "He wanted sex too much." Me: "I am starting to believe you..." Her: "The night I lost my virginity, he made us have sex three times." Me: "Ok, I believe you now." If I had not lived in India, and was not refreshed by the Indian guys on Facebook thread, I would still be skeptical.

NONE. it is an absolute assault on every sense all the time, so you need to be 100% on your game. if you're not, you will go down in flames, and quickly. i had a really great routine to get over hangovers/cranky routines in tianjin. it was to go to my favorite starbucks to see the girl i was in love with (she worked there for two years and we were pretty good friends), read for an hour at that starbucks, and then go to the nicest hotel in the city and use their facilities at the gym. it had a sauna, a whirlpool, a relaxation room, a hot tub, a huge clean pool and those showers that make you feel like you're in an amazon rainforest. then at night i'd go get some really good western food and have a beer or two and go home early and sleep. it was the best possible way to get over china kicking me in the nuts. i was lucky enough that i could make my own schedule so if china DID kick me in the nuts, i could always take the next day to do whatever i needed to do. i haven't been allegorically kicked in the nuts here in fushun yet, and i don't think i will be, but i guess if i have a mini-meltdown i'll have to figure something out here. also, please link the indian facebook thread. also, if you take up simplefish's offer, please do it when i'm there. i've had two great days drinking with simplefish and he is an amazing human and i'll probably see him in like two weeks for another round when i'm in HK. come out for one night if you wait, haier. i won't ask your real name, and won't take a picture of you. swear on my life. just come for beers. it's a hoot and a half with the HK guys.

People in Hong Kong are also increasingly concerned about an illegal landfill on the Chinese island called Wailingding, around 20km south of Hong Kong. Some have compared it to a ‘trash glacier’ that keeps on sliding down the hill and into the sea. “That thing is twenty stories tall, that wall of trash. If there was a big typhoon, and it hit the right direction, the waves could come into the bottom and collapse the whole thing,” says Woodring. “It would be a natural disaster for Hong Kong.”

Whenever I see huge trash piles like that, I think of a Hong Kong movie called "Dog Eat Dog." One of the later scenes features the two stars brawling in a giant land fill. Great movie, bought it in a fried chicken joint in New York City. The DVD has a commentary by the Canadian-Chinese co-star and a British guy who has apparently been involved in Hong Kong cinema for a very long time.

Don't know it was. He wasn't in or involved in that particular movie, he was just co-hosting a commentary with the Canadian actor. He also did a commentary on a "Hard-Boiled" DVD release (the one they released alongside the first Blu-Ray release). Edit: Also, the movie is called, "Dog BITE Dog."

I've been loving this guy. It started with a video of some tai chi "master" fighting him, which was his qi magic bullshit vs a MMA guy and MMA guy beat the gently caress out of tai chi man in under ten seconds. Then there's been other videos of martial artists getting owned and it's turning int a whole thing. I want him to just loving destroy every one of these idiots claiming to literally be a wizard.
