People do that poo poo everywhere. Lack of spatial awareness is a global epidemic.

I settled a discipline issue today because the school counselor had no idea why a Korean kid would punch another kid for calling him Chinese.

As with many China things, it is a matter of degree more than kind. People do that poo poo everywhere. Nowhere else I have been is it done by a solid 90%+ of people.

Being a tourist, where should I visit? China or Korea? Ok, I know your answers: Taiwan or Japan.

Power Khan posted:Being a tourist, where should I visit? China or Korea? Korea, just because they will stamp you a 30 day visa with absolutely no hassle or costs at the border, because you know, they want you to visit.

Korea is a nice and fun country with nice, cheap hotels, great food, a very active nightlife and where all of the buildings look the same.

I mean, both sides formally agree there is only one legitimate government of China, and only Taiwan has the democratic line of succession...

A crowd did gather there, but their motivations were ambiguous as a crowd tends to draw a crowd in that area. Kan re nao

I bet the other "designated protest sites" are in front of other foreign brand offices/stores as well so it's easy to spin the stories as "civil and harmonious crowd requests foreign devil company respects the unified chinese people"

lol there's a road that cuts through a university next to my house and google maps directs people through it because it cuts like 5-10 minutes off your commute by bypassing a particularly annoying intersection. So of course the school put one of those crappy little gates like in the video on it and I watch people who aren't paying close attention sail right through the gate and smash the little arm every day because their google maps tells them to keep driving. It reminds me of this thread so hard. Oh right, we have some fairfax residents here! It's George Mason university, the school that incorporated its own police force which runs aggressive speed traps in town and DUI checks for residents of the neighborhood adjacent to their property!

I missed Korea chat. My favorite kind of chat. Go visit Korea! It's not that bad, I swear!I would blow Dane Cook posted:https://www.9news.com.au/health/2017/11/16/10/08/baby-formula-crisis-can-aussie-parents-and-china-s-daigous-co-exist You would think that manufacturers would be doing -something- to capitalize on this, rather than opening up this black market for baby formula. I would get stressed if we were getting low on our last can, despite the fact I could drive to three different stores within 10 minutes and buy another.

The problem is that even if the manufacturer sends it directly to China, someone will skim it for profit. That, and the ubiquitous distrust if domestic products(even if they are safe and surprise: quality) means Chinese people will buy it outside the mainland and send it back. Because someone's grandma and uncle has the familial trust of a community over a manufacturer's safety seal. The only way to guarantee its untampered quality is to buy it elsewhere.

I dont know much about Australia but if this is such a problem them perhaps the goverment should step in and issue ration cards for parents. make sure peoplel with children get first crack at buying it. Alternatively import formula from china

Given it's Turnbull's government, you'd just end up with someone bribing the staff at the Chinese embassy to smuggle it for 'em.

It's too bad humans can't produce formula on their own. Like imagine if every mom had one (or maybe even two just in case) machines that could make safe healthy formula for free??

Yeah, probably the case, but now I'm thinking these people importing it into China will probably be skimming some off the top. Those poor babies.
