One of my Korean friends worked at a Korean restaurant in London and was assaulted by Korean tourists more than once because kimchi refills weren't free.

I dated this probably-bipolar Korean chick for way too long. She was very much a checklist tourist. She didn't tip and she was mortally afraid of black people. She would also collapse shrieking if she wasn't in sight of pavement. Also vaginismus.

I dated a chinese girl for a while who had HK citizenship or whatever through the scheming of her businessman dad or something, and was very proud of the fact. She was realllly pretty, and absolutely nasty to just about everyone but me. It was fun for a while but we eventually went our separate ways.

She wasn't a sneering capitalist from soviet propaganda or something, but she did change her tone of voice and manner of speaking to one that was a bit more brusque. When I asked her she said that it's Southeast Asia, they won't understand you if don't speak like that!

I got a new phone recently and finally updated my Wechat since I was scared to do it after reading the hundreds of 1-star reviews for people being locked out of their accounts or never receiving notifications. It works just fine. I originally registered my account with an Indian phone number, so my sticker sets were limited to Indian stickers. I logged in with a Chinese phone number, and now have access to Chinese stickers. I saw this sticker set today...



LOL, yes.

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?
I used to be close friends with a Filipina (who was in the process of immigrating to the US). She was an RN, but we worked together in retail while she waited for her legal status to take American nurse training and get US certified. She was so sweet and lovely at work or when we were hanging out together, but when we'd go out for eating or walking or shopping, she'd loving trash the place and treat everyone like diarrhea puddles. I told her "We hate when customers do this when we are working, so why would you do this to other people?" She replied "That's what they are paid to do. They get paid to clean up and be nice. What else can they do at their jobs?"

LOL. She wanted to be my girlfriend so bad, but I told her our cultural differences were too big. I really liked her too, but I could see she was a jerk in many other ways. Also, I didn't want those 40-heads-in-a-household Filipino families getting in my business.

I had friends at uni who became friends with a Hong Kong "daddy's princess" who was incredibly nice and generous to them and her immediate circle, but was a massive piece of poo poo to everyone else - especially anyone who worked what she considered a low ranking job. Hell, pretty much any person who worked, period.

I had always thought my friends were good people but they were willing to let themselves be blinded to what that girl was because she threw her dad's money around like water and they got to live her lifestyle when they were around her.

She got something like $10k a month allowance - and this was in the early 90s, so it was worth even more.

She tried to add me to her hangers on, but I called her a trash person and told her I wanted nothing to do with her. She lost her loving mind at me and I never spoke to her or those friends again.

No real loss.

Earl of Chesterfield, 1748 posted:

The characteristic of a well-bred man is, to converse with his inferiors without insolence, and with his superiors with respect, and with ease.

In this context I think he's talking about servants, but probably a healthy dose of racist bigotry as well since it's the 1700's. In any case, even if you assume they are total racists, it would be a mark of good character to treat someone they consider inferior with the same dignity and and respect as someone they consider an equal.

If you look at it that acting like a lovely yes-man at work to get paid and not get fired makes up a proportion of many people's job, then doing the same for free stuff or paid-for experiences with someone else is kinda not so bad.

But I feel someone young, rich, and spoiled is on another level of "making it hard to agree with your dumb rear end" yes-manship.

American Budweiser is totally fine for mass produced rice lager. It's job is to be inoffensive to as many consumers as possible.

There are beers that are better and those that are worse. I'm guessing Chinese bathtub beer is the latter and not the former.

In the West, you can buy those ultra probiotic elixirs where one spoonful is like having 20 yogurts or something. Anyway, they get the starter from human poop, but don't advertise that part. Also, your stomach acid just kills all the probiotics, so it's dumb.

Healing broken bones with wine is the same as that dumb Chinese bullshit about healing broken bones with tea. People are idiots.

Yeah but goes in the other way.

e: Also they are working on making intestinal faunas from scratch without the need for poop, that could be tailored to peoples needs.

It's actually a pretty big thing as the intestinal fauna probably plays a huge role in your health and risks of diseases from cancer, diabetes to celiac disease etc.

DHARAMSHALA: US President Donald Trump has left Tibetans in a shock after proposing zero aid to Tibet in 2018 at a juncture where efforts were underway to arrange a meeting of Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama and the US President, on Friday.
...
A Tibetan social entrepreneur in exile, Lobsang Wangyal said Trump could be expecting a thaw in US-China relations by cutting funding to exiled Tibetans, but to slash funds for an anguished community is robbing them of the hopes they have in their lives as well as the trust they place in the United States and the western world. "The move is contrary to American ideals of freedom, equality, and justice. Time will tell if Trump's policy is really in line with his 'Make America Great Again'," he said.
