I'm the complete lack of visible reaction as I plunge into a raging torrent of water to my near-certain demise But I also came to the thread today to post that my spirit animal is the fat wiener dog that lives at a restaurant near my office and eats nothing but greasy dumpling scraps.

Me and my girlfriend are selling all our stuff at the moment since we're going back to the UK next month. She's back in her hometown at the moment so I have to deal with people who show up to buy stuff. When my girlfriend is here they all spend at least an hour asking questions and trying to haggle, even if they just want to buy something like a 5rmb cup. Now though they all see me, poo poo themselves that they have to speak to a laowai and just say ok ok and pay me full price before they've even seen what they are buying.

If you have a pool of any size please cover it when it's not in use, or get/build something like a Froglog to give trapped animals a way to get out of the water.

I had the idea, if I had a real camera, to do a series of portraits of the animals at scooter repair shops in Taipei. Half the ones I see seem to have a shop pet, usually a scruffy mutt dog the sight of which makes people scoop up their precious lovely inbred mini poodles as they walk by.

Do Taipei people also refuse to use leashes and spend half their time running after their dogs screaming as they charge into traffic/fight other dogs?

Nah, usually--at least, not any more or less often than in the US--dogs that are off leash are well-behaved. Taipei dog owners do completely baffle me by taking their dogs to night markets inside strollers or backpacks, though.

In south Taiwan you get a mix of dogs in strollers or strapped to chests like babies and free roaming mutts that will chase you if you're out for a jog. In other words it's basically Bangkok. Speaking of which, the baby touching thing bothers me to some degree but I'm kind of cool with it. All babies in Bangkok, not just white or mixed, get unsolicited attention so at least we're just being treated like everyone else. I guess I prefer everyone trying to play with my kid in public to being terrified that he's going to annoy everyone by being a loud, energetic baby and someone is going to make a passive aggressive comment behind me about what a terrible parent I am for needing to ride the metro with a toddler.

The Great Autismo! posted:these videos have warped my sense of reality, my wife is very relaxed with our son because she's from a rural area that's Not China, and in China i would always be like "where's our son, is he ok" and she's like "don't worry he's fine" as he's halfway across the courtyard playing with some little chinese girl, and i'd sprint over there to be near him. it is so unbelievably relaxing to know that he is not in China in right, thank God Don't worry about strangers. Statistically, your son is much more likely to be kidnapped by somebody you know.

In the west people get really weird about random men around their babies but in Asia it's about 50:50 men and women coming over to play.

BCR posted:http://www.thebeijinger.com/blog/2017/06/20/red-dress-charity-run-attracts-online-controversy As I get closer to my leaving, the most common question is "WHY ARE YOU LEAVING?" along with butthurt like "U DON'T LIKE CHINA???" and asking why I don't want to stay here forever. They think that I am allowed to simply arrive here and stay as many years as I want, have the same lovely rights as a local, and that I feel the same way about China as they are supposed to. Answering that I am not a Chinese citizen isn't a good enough excuse. Many see me leaving China equating to me hating China, because if I liked it I would do everything in my power to stay here. Maybe it goes with their idea that if a Chinese can get work in a select foreign country, there's a 90% chance they are going to try to stay there forever. It was a source of many break-ups and deletions by dates and plunge partners before, because they were convinced they would be the one that got me to see the glory of Mainland China, and I would just park myself right here and never leave. They seriously thought I could and would be able to stay, get married, buy a house, never leave, and have no desire to go to my own country or go live in any other country. It was pure delusion, and I found it be a delusion that was so common that I wouldn't even get into the discussion because it was so tiring. Now that I am closer to leaving I just tell them "It is a matter of culture. Most foreigners are not happy in China after a while, because Chinese culture is too different." When asked what the cultural differences are I just say "Everything."
