I saw a lady do three circles around a parking lot, honk her own tits, and then walk in and out of a restaurant several times. New TCM "exercise" routine?

I ducked a little to see who was driving and it was a fat Buzzcut tuhao in the passenger seat and his tuhao wife behind the wheel, with their 1-2 year old toddler sitting in her lap facing her, playing with toys (since there was no backseat for a carseat or a grandparent to limply hold the kid). Welcome to Vancouver.

As I was walking home from class today there was a row of those rental bikes on the left hand side of he path and a guy with his head turned fully around not looking where he was going coming towards me on the right hand side of the path. I'd just finished passing the row of bikes so moved to the left a bit so the idiot wouldn't walk into me, when he suddenly veered right into me. He shouted excuse me and then angrily tried to push me which didn't really work as he was tiny. He then tried to shove past me to my left, knocked himself off balance and then fell into the bikes he hadn't seen. I shouted excuse you at him and walked off.

The Great Autismo! posted:so last night was pretty weird. i went out with work investors and then the university we work with in the united states, and i was the first one at the restaurant, and immediately like 9 waitresses all dressed up, standing in a line, stared at me hardcore when i got in. i thought maybe it was going to double as a prostitution house, it was really weird, i'm used to stares but not from the younger generation. i had kinda dressed up but even then i'm not that good looking to get all nine waitresses eyefucking me. i talked to two of them, they kept giggling, it was like...super weird. Post that in the lovely thread and see what the tanky mod thinks.

Grand Fromage posted:The Pyongyang restaurant chain is NK operated and is to get hard cash back to the country, yes. There's a whole bunch of them around Asia and some in Europe. There's none in Europe anymore as the ones in the Netherlands closed down. That story was funny too. Opened with Dutch co-owners (to get the visa), once running the workers went on strike and the restaurant closed down, then suddenly they all start working at a new restaurant with 100% NK ownership.

i saw one of those staged "taichi is superior" videos on weibo last night, i'll post it if i can find it again. basically a guy in drapey white is fighting a boxer, and his stance is like that mma video but he fights by doing these open-palmed haymakers with the backs of his hands while the boxer throws a few halfhearted punches and hides behind his gloves while taking a bunch of weak slaps on the top of his head. eventually they end the fight and he clearly is the loser against chinese martial arts

I love that the excuse when they lose is always "he was wearing the wrong shoes". If your martial art can be defeated by a guy wearing shoes maybe it's a lovely martial art.

JaucheCharly posted:...how? Lol You know how the elderly (like those 80-+ year old driver) sometimes forget the difference between the accelerator and the brake pedal?

I went to the Pyongyang restaurant in Siem reap, the girls there were desperate for social interaction, while the older women yelled at us because we took a photo and video. It was really sad, you could tell they were prisoners.

I read that was okay, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was de facto forbidden.

It's definitely easy to avoid not going, but it's even easier not to go at all. Interesting and sad is that their main clientele are South Korean tours and businessmen. You can see it easily as you leave the Siem Reap airport- there's like a Korean conference center/restaurant/hotel enclave on the way. IIRC they have two NK restaurants now along that strip.

Here he is right again with the guy you found on massdrop: quote:Well, that's because they are not "knock offs". Many Chinese companies has put a large sum of money into R&D just like the Japanese has in the late 70s. You are just seeing the beginning of that, just because it's Chinese doesn't automatically makes it a "knock off". Companies like DJI, Xiaomi etc are actually becoming the forefront of innovation thesedays. I asked my wife to bring a whole bunch of Toaks and Fire-Maple stoves and cookware from China recently because I think they are actually better than all other brands.

A Kiwi friend of mine has married her Chinese husband. She is mid-30s, got married last year. She has had some health issues but seems ok now. Hubby is around the same age and is the 2nd son. A musician (ex indie music scene) and I reckon he's slapped her around at least a couple of times (she had to stay at my place for a couple of nights soon after they got married because all of a sudden he realised he was married and the pressure of being a 'provider' (which he isn't, she supports him) got to him (I got wechat message messages saying he was going to throw all her belongings out of their 6 story apartment if she didn't contact him, usual passive aggressive Chinese emotional bullshit). They could not get married until the older brother had married. And they can't have kids until the older brother has a child first, despite my friend's advancing age (pretty sure she is now 38). I told her they should just go for it but she said nah, can't do it. The MIL would kill them and it would be a total loss of face for the older brother and his wife. How hosed up is that???
