Peel - a really thin iphone case that looks like you aren't using a case at all. :confused:


Minimums - an e-magazine about interesting people and their interesting possessions. :rolleyes:


Mod Notebooks - a notebook that syncs to the cloud! Except it doesn't. It is a regular paper notebook. When it is full, you mail it back to these guys, and they will scan it and put it on the cloud for you.


Emoji Masks - So you never need to bother making actual facial expressions ever again.


Second - a smart assistant app. Appears to be Bonzi Buddy for iphones. Costs 42 cents a minute.

that sheet, phone case, masks and notebook are all existing products that they did a minor edit on. I have sold those thin unbranded phone cases, they suck

There is a chance they were the original creators and then the factories started selling them to everyone else, but not likely

About the children and grandparents talk some pages ago. I have an agreement with my wife that we won't try for children until we are living outside of China. And in the event of an accident, we'd just move out of China.

The interesting thing though, is that I always saw her dad as an utter and complete rear end in a top hat, but reading some of the stories in this thread about parents and how they treat the children (daughters) he suddenly doesn't see that bad. Still, wouldn't trust him with my child though.

$300 a week maybe? Hotels are where it gets you. Everything else should be cheap. I'm just guessing because the last time I stayed in Thailand for a month to see family I spent like $100 because I didn't have to pay for a hotel. $2 a day on food at the Buddhist buffet and the rest on Red Bull and boner drinks.

In the comment section, someone broke down the sources and noted that WSJ seemed to get Oregon State and Uni of Oregon mixed up with those figures.

I've gotten some really weird gifts in China. A girl I was kinda dating gave me a pillow with my face on it as a gift. She had me open it and she spent the night that night and slept with it and I expected her to take it the next day but she left it on my bed, so that next night I was getting ready for bed and my pillow was just staring at me. It was really awkward.

It became a joke and people started taking it to the expat hangout we go to when I didn't go out and everyone would tag me in their pictures as my pillow face was floating in the background at times

she just wanted you to save face

Also caning for crimes

quote:

Singaporean law allows caning to be ordered for over 35 offences, including hostage-taking/kidnapping, robbery, gang robbery with murder, drug abuse, vandalism, extortion, rioting, sexual abuse, and unlawful possession of weapons. Caning is also a mandatory punishment for certain offences such as rape, drug trafficking, illegal money-lending, and for visiting foreigners who overstay their visa by more than 90 days (a measure designed to deter illegal immigrant workers)

I live in Singapore now. Most of my (younger, 25-30 year old) colleagues don't remember this dude at all, but I remember hearing about it in the US when I was younger and I distinctly recall it being for spraypainting cars or some poo poo.

Also I bring back chewing gum on the reg. since it's this weird treat for my coworkers. I don't think I'll get caned for it. Maybe fined if I was the kind of rear end in a top hat who would just spit it on the ground, but I'm not because I'm not Chinese.

she told me if I stayed in China or she went to the USA, my mother would be the one to raise our kid/s. I asked why and of course got more of the "my parents are literal garbage because of how they treated me because I'm a girl" stories and that it was really important our kid would have as little exposure and time with her parents as possible. When I told her my mom is highly educated and works and won't quit her career to raise our kid, she then said she'd give up her own career to make sure the kid was raised right. I believe she said we would be allowed to visit her hometown with the kid for one week at a time, once a year or every two years. She thought that was more than enough.

Yeah he spray painted some cars. The chewing gum thing is just that it's banned with fines, same with jaywalking and eating on the MRT.

That said the caning is pretty goddamn painful. Be on sedatives for a week painful.
