I was actually planning on having a run with one of the Taipei rugby squads when I was passing through and later read one of his posts where he said he played with them, was looking forward to seeing if I could pick him out but I ended up being busy and the guy with the team I talked to was flaky.

Dude’s still around the forums as far as I know, though I never actually got his forums name so I’m not sure. I only hung out with him once, which is a shame since he seemed like a cool enough guy. There are two halves to the spy thing. The first involves some goon drama that I’m happily not party to and Line chatlogs being shared with people who weren’t meant to see them (thus, spying). The second involves a fun night out in Kaohsiung, an unknown amount of alcohol, and a gate guard who really should have been paying more attention and ends with a goon being caught trespassing on a Taiwanese navy base with a camera, and some heavy words like “espionage” and “prison” being thrown around. As far as I know he convinced them he was just very, very badly lost and they let him off the hook.

Taiwan, and Taipei especially, is infamous for having a drama-bomb filled cliquey foreigner network. There's just not enough foreigners on the island and everyone knows everyone and in the low stakes world of English teaching you gotta find some way to make a pecking order.

Thailand, on the other hand, has an endless cesspool of deranged lunatics running around it. Like the pedophile who turned up dead. Or the alcoholic who called us from jail needing bail money after punching a dude's teeth out. Or the guy who threw himself off a bridge looking to score opiates from a hospital. Or the guy who poo poo in a trashcan outside of a school when the motorcycle taxi drivers refused to go buy drugs for him. Or the guy who immediately took his apartment deposit and bought drugs with it before we could stop him (to be fair those last three are the same guy). Or the other pedophile. Or the other other pedophile. Or the guy who did a runner on payday because he thought for sure he'd get treated better in China. Or the guy who spent his electric bill money on a handjob and had to hope that the lights wouldn't be turned out on his children. Etc.

Today there's a bunch of nationalist trash on my Wechat wall by people who've never shown the singlest gently caress about the "motherland." I guess Uncle Xi is making them proud with as many governmental"What abouts?" as possible.

Wow that's not a very nice way to talk about your dad!



Anyway because Diwali is coming up we just got a giant package of stuff including a big stack of homemade chikki. This one appears to be coconut, almond, and sesame seed, and I think there was some lemon or lime juice mixed in with the sugar syrup.

My mother-in-law also sent me a Buddha figure that contains a sack of lavender inside so it dispenses fragrance. I think she thinks I'm a Buddhist, this is the second Buddha she's bought me in the last year.
LOL, at the time my dad wasn't so bad looking. He was in shape, swam daily, ate decently, and was looking to start an export business from SE Asia. My Thai mom isn't all that much younger than him, unlike his friend who decided marry some little piggy that was like 20+ years younger. That chick was and is gross, and we still make fun of her and him.

Chikki owns so hard. There are like six or so varieties at the market near me, and all are on a 2-for-1 sale that's really bad for a compulsive buy. I am addicted to the peanut one, but I still want to try to sesame or the variety seed versions.

The guy I buy milk from wanted to ask how diwali is for me today.

Him: "Sir, how are you enjoying deeeepaaaahwully?"
Me: "What?"
Him: "Diiiiipaaaaaaaaaaaahwlly"
Me: "Say again?"
Him: "Dipaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahwulllllly"
Me:"Ooohh... It's very loud."
Him: "Yes, sir, loud is very good. Loud. Good. Great."
Me: "Yes."

Haier why do you always say "my Thai mom"? Do you have more than one mom or do you just feel the need to always point out that your mom is Thai?
She's my step-mom and she's Thai, so that's how I differentiate. My own mom is not Mother China, or Chinese. She's Native American.

Valve should just block reviews from China altogether. It's not like they're ever going to provide meaningful feedback even when they aren't pissed off.
TBH, I am ready for China to block access to most of the websites they can use now without a VPN. They are so cranky online. I thought my Instagram was getting harassed by ABCs, but on further inspection I found it to be fuerdai overseas students. I wish we could figure how to keep them from our open internet even when they travel abroad.

China Goddam

The internet's gotten me so upset
Uncle Xi made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about China Goddam

Can't you see it
Can't you smell it
It's all in the air
I can't stand the smog much longer
Somebody say a prayer

Laduzi's gotten me so upset
Buzzcuts made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about China Goddam

This is a show tune
But the show hasn't been written for it, yet

Jingchas hot on my trail
Medicine's an old wive's tale
Rental bikes cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last

Lord have mercy on these bowels of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here
I don't belong there
I've been reduced to fake child care

Don't tell me
I tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there and I'm a good guy
Yet they keep on saying me 'Lao wai!'

I got into visa trouble
'Lao wai!'
Too many crazy women
'Lao wai!'
Stealing the tuition
'Lao wai!'
You're just plain rotten
'Lao wai!'
You're too drat lazy
'Lao wai!'
The thinking's crazy
'Lao wai!'
Where am I going
What am I doing
I don't know
I don't know

Just try to do your very best
Stand up be counted with all the rest
For everybody knows about China God....dam!

I made you thought I was drinkin' hot water

Skipping lines
Gettin a case of the squats
They try to say it's a foreigner plot
All I want is equality
For my sister my brother my people and me

Yes you lied to me all these years
You told me to use chopsticks and count the tiers
And talk real fine just like I'm "hao ke ai"
And you'd stop calling me a drat Lao Wai

Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you any more
You keep on saying to me 'Go home!'
'Go home!'

Whenever I have trouble
'Go home!'
The smallest complaint
'Go home!'
Boss stealing my salary
'Go home!'
Want to eat Western
'Go home!'
Try to speak Chinese
'Go home!'
I hate your ingrained racism
'Go home!'
Why don't you see it
Why don't you feel it
I don't know
I don't know

You don't want to live next to me
I completely gave up on equality
Everybody knows about Hot Pot
Everybody knows about VPNs
Everybody knows about China Goddam

THAT'S IT!

who the gently caress buys a hand job....

one that note i went with my neighbor once to a massage place her friend recommended we pull up and i am seeing some red flags namely the location of the strip mall and i go "is this a rub and tug?"

she was like "huh? whats that"

we get in no one at the desk i am starting to freak out looking for the massage licenses and i see them i start to calm down thinking "okay this place is legit" Then I see all the names are chinese, I flash back to this thread and go "oh poo poo thats bad"

Then my nieghbor calls my attention to the "menu" on the counter going "huh whats this?" pointing at the "two girl option"

"we should leave I tell her"

she replies with "you've had that before?"

I later learn that she did an edible just before we left and it was hiting her pretty hard. Then the lady from back comes out.

I later learn that she called the place her friend recommended but they didnt answer so she just found that place on google.

A month later she stops by my apartment saying "hey i found a groupon for a massage place" to which I go "OH NOO NOT AFTER LAST TIME"

She comes back from that one in a strange mood cause she basically roofied her self before the massage and the dude almost molested her.

Supposedly in Korea hand job salons are all over the place. I made a mistake my first week teaching English because I came in with a haircut and my Korean co-teacher thought it would make good banter at the start of class to ask me about it. I said I had just been to the barber and his face immediately soured.

"A barber is a place men go," and he changed the subject.

Later he chastised me for not saying hair dresser because didn't I know the word was culturally loaded in Korea?

How dare I speak English as an English speaker would speak it in English class.

if you mean one that deals with African hair well, there are a few in the foreigner districts near army bases, and they usually do quite well.

if you mean a rub-and-tug, bear in mind these women are not the highest quality, the lowest weight, or the youngest demographic.
