Sorry guys, hot pot looks exactly like fondue but minus the parts (the cheese and chocolate courses) that make fondue good. Like, are you all really so into boiled meats?

Your typical 50 year old trucker would literally be able to fight 5 Chinese men at a time. All of the Chinese fights (actual fights, not just two people ineffectively swatting each other) that I have seen have been half-assed overhand hitting and really lame kicking. Chinese men fight like they have a foot or two more reach than they actually do, and that any hit they receive with cause them to instantly die. So typically its two guys kicking and swatting the air in front of each other then instantly jumping back. The winner is usually the guy whose friends show up first and swarm the other guy.

This guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHQi5Jo7wq0 (assuming he fought the same way against guys) would do very well for himself in a typical Chinese fight. If you didn't care about taking a "punch"* or two, you could pretty much end any one-on-one fight you found yourself in, in less than 10 seconds.

*most Chinese guys punch exactly like toddlers punch, meaning they lack any sort of proper technique, and if they did connect with your face, they would be more likely to snap their wrists than knock you out.

That's on the list. Sooner or later I have to go to Korea or China to sell some poo poo before the bubble bursts and the monies there dry up. They have a bunch of archery festivals where it's easy to sell the good stuff. Lukas Novotny showed a plain crimean tartar hornbow to a couple of dudes and when they asked him how much it is, he told them "4000$, the first guy with the money back here gets it" and 5 people took off running Oo. That thing costs like 2500$ when you order. So much face gained by buying it. There's people with too much money to spend on such things.

Last year a bunch of fuckwits spend 20k on 5 jade thumbrings at that auction that I got my stuff from.

Nope! The format has changed, but the front page stories are still over a year old.

Edit: All of their reporters/contributors stopped updating all within a week or so of each other. I'm pretty sure the CCP made it clear that they didn't appreciate their work.

It's more that they went for lovely short stories instead of the full stories with translated internet comments and put most of their interesting stuff in some paid app. I think their entire network (koreaBANG etc) is pretty much dead. Which sucks cause it was funny.

Living in China is Mouse Trap: the life

99% of dump truck drivers have no loving clue what they are doing. I've personally witnessed people die in China as a result of them.

I saw a three-wheeled taxi get pancaked between a city bus and a dump truck so bad that it went from 10' in length to 2'.
Saw the above happen to a Chinese compact car, pretty much the same result.
Saw dump truck drive right over 2-3 scooters.
Saw a dump truck plough through an intersection and knock 4 cars out of the way.
Saw a dump truck try and dump a load of gravel on an uneven surface and flip over on its side.
Saw a huge gouge taken out of an overpass when a dump truck was driving down the highway with its bucket up.
Saw a dump truck overflowing with gravel think he could come to a complete stop from 80kph in less than 20'.
Saw a dump truck going down a large hill, obviously had no brakes, and not make a corner.

Most of these I saw from inside a bus or a taxi, so even though I know people died, I never saw the inevitable pools of blood form.
