Bonchon is like the most overrated Korean fried chicken ever. Even as far as chains with locations in the states go, places like BBQ Chicken and Vons are way better. It's certainly not _bad_, but it's completely unremarkable because of how bland and dry it is in comparison with other places.

I grew up near DC in 90s and I whenever we drove into DC I was always looking down alleys expecting to see someone being shot in the head. The surrounding counties are beautiful and inefficient fake rural sprawl. That's my DC story, thanks.

bonchon is actually better in korea, and used to be a lot better basically, in the glorious search for margins, all the korean fried chicken places got a fair bit worse. still better than most american places

Grand Fromage posted:E2: Also there's all kinds of bad driving here that's just loving nuts. Like I see at least a few people driving on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic every single day that I'm outside. Every. Single. Day. The kind of stuff I'd see maybe like once or twice in my entire driving lifetime in the US is a daily occurrence on Chinese roads. this accident footage that was going around weibo the other day is an insane turn of events warning: graphic

Grand Fromage posted:Everyone ignores traffic lights/laws but people on bikes do it the most. They have no physical protection. Many truck drivers are paid by distance traveled, so they are constantly driving at maximum speed and never stop for traffic or red lights or anything else. People are loving idiots, China has gently caress you got mine cranked to 11, everyone is I GO FIRST in all situations, lots of people don't even know how driving works, no one cares about or notices anything other than themselves, no one pays attention to rules, no concept of public behavior or decency... Somehow Kunming isn't as bad. People drive slow since the traffic here is still about 50/50 cars to mopeds/bikes and most everyone is cautious of the mopeds weaving through traffic. The roads also weren't developed well for how quickly the city has grown, so everyone is sorta forced to drive slow and cut across lanes and dodge buses swinging into traffic and such. I haven't seen a bad accident yet so far this year, personally, but I see a bump or fender-bender every week which causes huge amounts of traffic. One of the stupidest loving things about this country is that if people have an accident in the road, they simply stay in the middle of the road because GOD FORBID you move off to the shoulder or parking lot, you might lose EVIDENCE of the CRIME OF THE CENTURY of your goddamn Skoda sedan getting its bumper scratched. All that said if you go out into the mountains out here you might as well let Jesus take the wheel.

what's going on in the Congo that messes with air quality? i thought it was mostly resource extraction there, not the sort of refinement that generates lots of pollution

I think it's more that they won't move to deliberately continue being as big a disruption to traffic as possible, to ensure the police turn up at all, because nothing gets done if you're not a pain in somebody's arse

My guess is setting fires to clear rainforest. It radiates out from a relatively small area so whatever it is must be on a massive scale, and I know in SEA there is purposeful burning of woodland that upsets that country's neighbours for several months a year (can anyone remind me which countries?)

There's a legitimate (stupid) reason for this. It's the police that determine fault in the case of an accident (not the insurance companies). If you move your car it is classed as leaving the scene and destroying evidence, so you are found at fault by default. Of course this conflicts with what the driving test says, which says you should not cause an obstruction otherwise you can be fined.
