MarcusSA posted:You suck eh, tough but fair I went looking for actual funny poo poo from the sinosphere to turn this fucker around, but everything these days seems grim and/or racist. So uhhh, here we are I guess. Maybe a personal anecdote? The old school hard sleeper trains are a real adventure. Here's a pic of one. In the car there are an assload of these tiny thin bunks triple stacked on top of each other, with very little support. Just that thin little bar on each end. Actually, I don't remember any supports, but there had to be, right?? I get on the train, squeeze my way down the aisle looking for my bed.... goddamn, top bunk. I'm 6-1, 220 pounds, pretty big. I remember it as being nearly eye level with that top bed, so yah, picture up there for comedic reference. The guys on the bottom and middle bunk looked absolutely petrified as my fat rear end (and my big bag) clambered all the way up into that little thing, everything squeeking and screeching. I tried to just wedge myself in as close to the wall as possible, praying it would hold up. Somehow got some sleep, despite getting ravaged by mosquitos all night. (maybe get those shots before taking adventures like this, that bug prolly bit everyone on the train). Come morning, I delicately climb down and head to the end of the car where there was a western style toilet. Apparently the other 100 people in the car had been taking turns, all night long, just perching on top of it like goddamn loving helicopters or something, spraying poo poo all over. One of the worst things I've ever seen. So I go down to the other end, the *actual* squat toilet. The floor is an absolute mess there too, but to be expected... So, this train is violently rocking back and forth, and I'm trying to hold my pants bunched tight around my shins with one hand, keep 'em off that wet sticky foul-rear end floor. Other hand is desperately holding onto the rail, cus god forbid I tip over in there! And then I realize.... what the gently caress, how am I gonna wipe? Like, something has to give here. It's a goddamn real life three seashells problem. I dunno, am I supposed to take my pants off and tie 'em around my neck or something? What the gently caress? Apparently I have puny weak western legs, and shouldn't need the "pants off the ground" hand, even while squatting in a blender. And my squat technique is just terrible in general. I do highly recommend the soft sleeper btw, even the older ones. Really cool way to see the country. And the new high speed trains are loving amazing. Bathroom struggles are somehow my main core memories of china trips. Another time, hiking around a park, asked a ranger if there were any facilities around and he said "oh yah there is a new bathroom up the road a bit, even western for you!" I was so goddamn happy.... zoom up the trail, get in there, and it's just the same row of squats, not even any dividers. What the gently caress man? Come outside, look out over the side of the mountain, look down.... and there are a bunch of smashed up toilets in the gully. I guess someone had gotten tired of the extra maintenance over the standard hole in the ground, and just ripped them out and threw them down the hill.

Nightmare fuel. I spent a month in Beijing and never once pooped anywhere outside of private quarters. On hot summer days I sometimes think I can still smell those public toilets even though they're an ocean away...

Baddog posted:I went looking for actual funny poo poo from the sinosphere to turn this fucker around, but everything these days seems grim and/or racist. So uhhh, here we are I guess. lol, lmao. i once had to drop a dook at work and we had no western toilets. cursed squat toilets personal anecdote, huh? well this isn't china and i know i've told it before, but this is kind of the east asia/southeast asia gbs mega thread so whatever. i got picked up as an english monkey in japan one spring, and it was my first real job and my first time living outside of america, so i was pumped to be culturally immersed. two or three weeks into the job, one of my coworkers suggested that if i had no plans for the upcoming golden week, i should go see the parade in yokohama. so i decided i'd check it out, and after the shonan-shinjuku got stalled on the middle of a bridge for half an hour, i arrived a litte late and everything had already started. i wasn't actually that sure about the route and knew nothing about the city, but i noticed some people in baseball mascot costumes walking in a group, so i figured, they must be involved in the parade, and that i could just follow them. and after a few minutes, i could hear the parade some blocks off and we were getting closer, so i thought, sure, this's the way. but when we reached the street the parade was passing, they ignored it and went directly to a raised crosswalk and kept going toward the pier. at this point i was more interested in them than my original agenda, so i kept following. this led me to a, half-pier, half-indoor stadium event space with just thousands of people waiting in line. lotta fat otakus and greasy fujoshis, and a fair number of them in mascot... animal costumes... and at that point, i realized that i had walked directly into the biggest japanese furry convention of the year. and then i thought, you know what? this isn't bad at all! i liked the idea of being a good, culturally mindful visitor, but the reality is that accidentally stumbling upon a huge nerd anime porn festival is 1) totally in character for me, and 2) way more culturally immersive than some performative parade-viewing. and i had a great fuckin' time! cool photos; get to hang out with a bunch of people who are as weird as i am; buy some fine literature to, uh, practice my reading... drat, what an adventure.

I've only stayed in one capsule and it was sized fine for anyone except maybe like Robert Wadlow. Capsules loving suck though. Unless you're the sort of rear end in a top hat who can sleep anywhere with any noise.

yeah earplugs supposedly help but the two nights i spent in a capsule, someone nearby me had something going on that caused a bass rumble through the stack and i could feel it in my ribs. no earplugs were helping with that, that poo poo was bone conduction.

I'm always baffled with earplugs, like sure they help a bit but you can still hear - Conversation - Snoring - Bass - Some rear end in a top hat in every dorm the world over who has to rustle through a plastic bags at 2AM i swear to god Now noise cancelling earbuds blasting white noise on the other hand...

Good news everyone! It turns out that it's the milk tea that's making Chinese youth depressed, not Xi telling them to "eat bitterness".

I find regular old orange pekoe, cooled and with a bunch of milk and sugar tastes pretty much exactly right.

I just left Beijing yesterday. Everything pretty much felt the same as I remembered in 2019. The only problem was we had a kid since then and we kept having to go to family dinners followed by my FIL’s friends taking us out, so I didn’t really get to do anything I actually wanted to do, and two year olds are really not equipped to handle the 3 hour private room dinners. We also had to go to Yangzhou for a weekend to visit a friend of my FIL’s and I swear to god we had the same dinner of boiled goose, lions head meatball, puffer fish, sea cucumber soup three nights in a row and I was starting to hope that they didn’t clean the puffer fish right and it would just kill me. If I post here enough, can I get my visa revoked?
