I always enjoyed those home renovation shows where they'd get five feng shui experts in to remodel the same room, and essentially get six different answers

DACK FAYDEN posted:No, because it has Chinese on it and it doesn't say anything about not being a part of China. If anything, it suggests a lovely tourism destination that is and has always been part of China Actually, speaking of tourism I got an Instagram ad the other day for "visithainangov", with a little video showing all the cool stuff you can do in Hainan like snorkelling, diving, kayaking etc. Turns out that most of the footage was "borrowed" from a GoPro launch trailer and of course, not filmed in Hainan. Annoyingly, I can't find either the post or the account now which sucks because it was really funny

nerdz posted:So all those studios adding chinese roles to their movies and "chinese market only" scenes are just wasting their money? Yes I was trying to remember which movie I had seen recently that had a blatant chinese insert and this was it, I watched it on a plane to Italy last month and cracked up. I tried to google her lines just now because all I could remember is her shouting random poo poo like "look out" Found this quote from an article "“The 28 year-old has a dozen or so lines but only three of them are longer than five words. However, the camera from time to time freezes on her face for more than five seconds without her uttering a word,” it notes. “Her biggest on-screen contribution is opening a can of food for a colleague,” wrote the South China Morning Post dismissively." It was even worse then the chick in the new Independence Day who had nothing to do with the plot and said about the same amount.

She gives some kind of response that sounded bizarre enough that I thought the captions hosed up, I wish I could remember what she said.

I still get a kick out of China and the US being the same size, except China's population is equal to [The Americas] plus [Western Europe]. And it's all squeezed into the eastern third. Imagine all of the Americas immigrated to the US and then also half of Europe. Then squeeze them onto the eastern seaboard.

This is my first time looking at the forums since I left last week. I have no WiFi, and I am stuck using my phone as a hot spot for my notebook. Even though I have 1GB data per day, modern websites use that up super fast. Chaoshan Girl is really enjoying where we are going and what we are doing. She keeps shouting "OH MY GOD" when we arrive at a temple or ancient place. She is extremely amused and shocked at watching the wild pigs, monkeys, cows, dogs, and birds. She is equally amused by watching the bullock carts, camel carts, and wild humans. She is saddened by the poverty and homeless kids, disabled beggars, and so on. Overall, it's very eye-opening for her. She is very happy. She wanted to wear a sari, but had no one to teach her, so she bought these kid trainer saris with clips and buttons, since she's tiny, and has been wearing those and looking cute. We have been eating a lot, and every day she says how she feels so much stronger than in China, and how the food makes her not feel bad all the time. She hasn't eaten much strictly Indian food, but has found a new love of pasta, lasagna, Frankies, milkshakes, and varieties of Indian sweets. She became completely addicted to lassi, and drinks 4-5 per day. Since milk is cheap and easy to find here, she has become a milk, cheese, and paneer fan and has milk products constantly. She hasn't gotten any illness. She said she realizes that now there are people that are more rude than Chinese, but at the same time they make her less crazy. She wants to come back many times. The people she came with, who I also know, are fine as well, but were ridiculous and were eating and letting their kid eat at any street cart they saw. I walked by them eating street pani puri that had been sitting in the sun all day. I told them it was a bad idea. The kid got super sick and poo poo his guts out all night. After that they started asking if they could eat at such and such, and I would say no, and they would become dejected. Their kid was a loving shithead and I caused them to lose a lot of face every time they would go with CG and I to see famous spots. They know the customs and rules, especially about feet and noise if visiting in a temple, and they wouldn't even bother to control the kid when we'd go inside a temple. He would be running around grabbing poo poo from strangers, climbing on holy structures or putting his feet on holy things, etc. Every time I'd try to take a photo, he'd jump into the frame and start having his arms and say "HEY GOOD." He tried to grab my phone out of my hand like a poo poo head. I scolded the kid at any chance I would get and would yell at his parents to control him, because priests and pilgrims would become furious at him/us. The mom would just stand there and weakly tell him to stop, and he would ignore them. I said the monkeys stealing stuff from people on the street are better behaved than him. Anyway, the kid is nearly 10. He's never been reprimanded in his life. He's the epitome of those spoiled rich little shits that grow up to drive BMWs and scoff at the suffering or problems they cause. CG made an electronics business deal with my dad, and now my dad is sending my Thai mom to Shenzhen, where she will stay a week with CG in her house. My dad loves CG and has given her the nickname "China Pickle." He's always sarcastically calling her my "friend," and then asks how much I am "dicking" her. I said I have no idea what he's talking about. Anyway, I got a few more days before I go back.

The best meal I have ever eaten in my life was a Masala Dosa eaten at a roadside shack just off the dirt road somewhere between Chennai and Bengalaru. (Which is the other side of the country to where you are, I know.) Also, if Chaoshan Girl likes Indian sweets, you should turn her on to Gulab Jamun, and/or Rasgulla. Also the diamond shaped cashew/pisatcchio thing that I don't know the name of, but it is in any self respecting sweet stall, although that could be just a South Indian thing.
