The White Dragon posted:my bro spent a year working in taiwan and when he found out that i drink room temperature water he's like "dude i didn't know you were so into chinese culture! taiwan is all about that!" When the cold water part of the water machine at work broke it took weeks to be fixed because the foreigners were the only ones complaining.

The other side of this is that Taiwanese people incessantly complain about how hot it is even if they were born here, grew up here, and have never left the country. It’s hot more than half the year! How much of your life has been dedicated to noticing that fact?!

Bajaj posted:I've only met a few people from Taiwan and all were lacking the most basic logic, as well as insane levels of dependence on TCM superstitions. It was impossible to talk to them as adults. My sample size is extremely limited, but that's enough for me to write all Taiwanese off as retarded and better to avoid than contact. That's my Taiwan story. That’s probably because most of the people you meet are 1) dumb enough to voluntarily spend time in the mainland, 2) weirdos on dating sites, or some combination of the two.

Barudak posted:That is literally the point. The family I got these from will not leave till a bottle is empty making the sweet spot for having a meal with them 4-5 drinkers as any higher and a second bottle comes out I guess so. It's just when I'm here in America with a bottle that I wish I could reuse it. A funny drinking story I have is when I was downing baiju with my wife's family in china. I am a semi-alcoholic after my term in the US Army, so I can at least sort of keep up with everyone. This prompted the following: "I didn't know white people could handle alcohol..." - Father In Law -Uncles/Aunts and grandparents nod and agree that this is suprising- "They can't, but they're 1/4th Japanese so they have asian blood" - Mother In law -Uncles/Aunts and grandparents nod and agree that this makes sense- "Ah, that must explain it" - Father in Law It shattered my worldview. I assumed everyone viewed white people as drunkards. To be fair chinese people do drink a shitload so the non korean/japanese foreigner probably does seem like a lightweight.

All the Taiwanese people I know are super cool. That's maybe 10 people so I think I can safely say the whole country is cool. So you guys seen that Pakistani dude who got stabbed? How about that, huh? Edit: Pirate Radar posted:Depends on the state but possibly, yeah. Since it implies you haven't been driving for a while. I didn't have to they just renewed it in Michigan.

I had to retake the test just to switch licenses from California->Oregon, but I think if I moved back to CA I would just be able to tell them my old license number and get a new one--maybe provided I showed a valid license from a different state.

underage at the vape shop posted:Do americans have to retake the test when their license expires or something? It depends on the issuing state. Things you might be asked to do when renewing your license in the USA: - take an eye exam - complete a written test - complete a behind the wheel test - complete a basic road safety exam (a pictorial test showing you know what a stop sign is, what a RxR sign means, etc) - update vital information (such as height, weight) - update residency information - get your picture taken The last three are practically guaranteed but all of the other ones are dependent upon the state issuing the license. I renewed my license last time with nothing but a cursory eye exam, but my friend in Pennsylvania had to take a 20 question written exam that would have triggered a retake of driver’s ed if he’d failed it. But failure would’ve meant you missed 10 questions and they are not complicated at all. poo poo like “the light turns yellow and you’re a bit away, what do?”

A student has made it her life's mission to feed me Weird poo poo. This ranges from Sichuan cooking (surprisingly I could handle the spice when normally I am a crybaby) to 'yeah but how about THIS PIG'S BRAIN IN THE HOT POT TEACHER'. Today she demanded I eat a piece of century egg. I ate a piece. the conversation actually went: coolusername: "nope nope nope i'm not having more." her: "foreigners hate this egg. do you hate it?" coolusername: "yup." her: "this makes me kaixin" and strutted off.

You wouldn’t really eat century egg ok your own, you can but it’s much better when you combine the egg with other food in a dish. Yeah , you can eat a boiled egg on your own, but that’s just so basic and so boring

So whereabouts are they from? They probably wouldn’t be from north east China because they would be heavy drinkers. Not even country town Hunan are like that because everyone is dumb enough to drink and constantly drive! The police are friends with the villagers so there’s not complaints there when there’s a DUI! I’m guessing guangxi but I’m probably wrong because the case is so just so absurd
