This made my day; thank you. Also I saw a poodle today with a lady's face spray-painted on its butt, that was pretty good, too.

Grand Fromage posted:You go to Little Japan to buy 30 rice cookers since the filthy inferior Japanese build things that don't break immediately. Then you load up on 50 kilos of ginseng and try to bring it as a carry-on in an enormous cardboard box. i don't watch it much but watching Nothing to Declare and chinese people getting pulled up by australian customs for the ridiculous things they've tried to get through is really entertaining

Dead Cosmonaut posted:US Budweiser is watered down piss Presumably the bathtub they're using to refill the cans contains more concentrated piss than the original bud. I like how this thread is always making GBS threads on Chinese innovation, and here you have some Chinese entrepreneurs taking a horrible product and improving on it, yet the thread still won't salute their ingenuity.

angel opportunity posted:A lot of the "ugly American" stereotypes are mostly where Americans skew more toward a Chinese goal of travel, but they still aren't nearly that far on the continuum. Someone like my Mom, a babyboomer who rarely traveled when she was younger, will read a book about a place and want to go there. She loves to do all the super on-rails touristy stuff, take pictures of herself standing next to the famous places while having very little interest in what people who live there actually are like or how they live their lives. She does all of that, but she also will have SOME kind of aesthetic preference for while she is there. Imagine the "instagram fantasy" of eating at a Paris sidewalk cafe where it's not too crowded and you are just relaxing. Or maybe you are in a city and you just get kind of lost in the feel of it and you have some kind of aesthetic enjoyment out of being there. I think even the ugliest American or German tourists can get into that kind of thing. This is all such modern day self delusional bullshit to me.

angel opportunity posted:I think most Chinese people legitimately don't care how crowded a place they go to is. The main reason to go to x or y place as a Chinese person is to take pictures there and tell/show other people that you were there. There is also some sense of checking off an accomplishment box in your head of "I have been to Paris and seen: Eiffel Tower, Mona Lisa." agree

angel opportunity posted:We start walking around and I expect almost nothing, but after like 5 minutes we saw a full-sized alligator just right there on the walkway, and when it saw us it waddled off the walkway, jumped into the water, and swam off. My wife and I pretty much freaked out. It was cool, unexpected, and we both were thinking that this guy would get a kick out of it as someone who had never seen an alligator in person. This would be the part of the story where we all hop in the car, I take him 20-30 miles down some abandoned swamp road, let him out, and drive off, leaving him to die from alligators/mosquitoes/hillbilly rape.

Jimmy Little Balls posted:I don't understand this, aren't they having to pay extra baggage fees negating any savings? Whenever I fly through India or the Middle East pretty much everyone is taking about 10 giant TVs with them. Higher end electronics are a good 30~40% more expensive in India and due to low demand it's harder to get the latest and greatest TV sets without paying through the nose. An Indian coworker of mine visited our US office, quickly did the math, and discovered that the same TV would cost $500 to buy back home, even including the extra baggage fees.

Who is afraid of the big bad dragon? posted:The concept of hierarchy and ranking is so solid in China that whenever a choice needs to be made about anything, the Chinese people want to know if it is top-ranked. This applies to fashion brands, restaurants, tourist spots, and of course educational institutions. When they decide which college to attend, domestic or overseas, Chinese parents and students are much more concerned about the ranking of the institution than what it actually offers or whether it suits them.

Is Koreans being bad tourists a Thing? Because I just spent some time in Manila with my girlfriend on a work trip, and I definitely noticed the way she treated service staff. Like, her brusque attitude is great when she's telling a scammer to gently caress off, but it doesn't seem to change much even when a waiter or hotel staff is being genuinely nice to us. Maybe I'm just too sheltered?

Maybe I'm just too sheltered? Koreans are bad tourists but they aren't mean tourists, if that's what you're getting after. Korean tourists will try to scratch things off the bucket list by taking bus tours and cramming in as many 'highlights' of a city / country / countries as possible (usually within a week). They will only eat at restaurants that either serve Korean food or very carefully vetted (i.e. gave the biggest kickbacks) local restaurants. Going off the beaten path is usually not the goal. They need to be reminded that tipping is a thing since it isn't a thing in Korea for most Koreans. In short: for sale posted:Maybe she just sucks

Maybe I'm just too sheltered? Yeah, Koreans were known for being the worst tourists before the Chinese. Especially in SE Asia people loving hate Koreans because they treat the locals like trash. You were in the Philippines, those aren't really people so why be polite to them? Korean pop culture is super popular all over Asia but actual Koreans are mostly hated, as much or more than the Japanese in my experience.

Maybe I'm just too sheltered? Most Korean tourists I've seen overseas can be very demandypants and sort of act snotty to service workers, especially in Southeast Asia. I have heard that tour groups are especially bad in the Philippines, but this is secondhand from a Filipina friend of mine. Maybe your girlfriend was just being brusque because she thought people might not understand her? Did you say anything to her about it?
