I forgot that when I was trying on some clothes I heard people shopping outside the fitting box. They were talking very loudly in American English, and when I got out of the box I saw they were in the next aisle over from me, meaning they were loud as gently caress. I kept shopping, but I could still hear them wherever I was, and I came around a corner to see them together. Young couple, maybe early twenties. They are holding something and seem confused. "THIS IS WEIRD. THOSE ASIANS ARE REALLY GOOD AT MAKING STUFF LIKE THIS." They were not white. They were Asian-American. WarpedNaba posted:Hey, free bike!

This is one of my greatest fears every time I get into an elevator in China: http://i.imgur.com/Ao4hWoY.gifv It ascended 30 floors in 15 seconds, crashing into the roof. He survived. It's not in China, but still...

My fears are the window cleaner, spiders that bite you when you're having poo poo and elevators. One of the elevators in the building I had my company in would drop about a foot at random times when the doors had just opened, I avoided that one. Lots of people have told me stories of lifts dropping multiple floors too. Apparently the ones they use on construction sites drop and kill people fairly often. One of my China fears is sinkholes, I'm worried China will eat me. I've had the ground give way a bit under me a few times here before.

Ceciltron posted:Yes but it's more dangerous to get behind the wheel in China than it is in Canada or the US. i don't disagree. it's more dangerous to walk around in englewood after dark on a friday night than it is to get behind the wheel in china. we could do this all day. i'm just saying, chinese escalators aren't that dangerous. yes they ate people once or twice. it's not more dangerous than something like driving a car in the USA, though.

Ayyyy, someone got deleeeeted Edit: She also blamed me for everything she was doing, and nothing that I was doing (like, all the poo poo she had said or acted, she said I had done). I met her a few times. I told her I am not interested to meet her again, she had a meltdown. She demanded answers. I said she didn't respect me or listen to what I said. She said it was me, I didn't listen to her. I told her she was rude and I felt she harassed me. She said I was the one that did her bullshit to her, and foreigners are all just looking for sex and leave China. She said she realized I don't love her, and I'm just LOLing because we spent a total of like 4 hours together, without any sex. Anyway, a fitting end to this day.

She is in a very ..uh.. plastic way. She dresses and exudes wealth. I've only have had a handful of meetings with her in person. She's very thin, and not in an athletic sense. Pretty face.

HerStuddMuffin posted:Can you keep us updated on the recent developments in your office war, or is there nothing funny to relate? There really isn't anything exciting. I've been put on a more supervisory role in terms of the project. She rolls up to me now (in lieu of us working as peers) and this was written out explicitly. I'm sure she hates it as it directly shows her loss of face and my increase of face. I will say this, as soon as it became evident that she needs to answer to me about things; she's become much nicer to my face. I know that this is just a tactic to make me lax but my calendar is a field of landmines essentially set to remind me to check on her and certain members of her team through out my day to make sure things are running on time and correctly. I've made a check list for the work that they are supposed to be doing and run them through it each time we exchange email or phone calls. If something doesn't seem right or I just don't trust the person for some reason, I'll demand to see the work. So yeah, I micromanage a lot. I hate it. It's becoming more and more of my actual job, one of the things I had been working on (and enjoyed more) suffered a bit because I can't give it the attention it deserves and have lined up someone to replace me in that. My boss stateside said the she's very impressed with how I handled the whole thing. My unofficial review was the best it's ever been and I'm looking at a sick bonus this year. All hints about moving me to the HK office have been rebuked. I simply refuse to go there in the flesh and deal with these assholes.

Chinar has more gaudy buildings that fall down after 2 years and stores all provide wechat pay so they don't have to look up from their phones and interact with another human being therefore china is grandiose.
