Mongolia has always been a part of China, and anyone suggesting anything else is a revisionist lapdog of capitalism.

I swam in a pool in Chengdu today and I'm pretty sure it's the talk of the town. There was a small crowd (5 people).

Tom Smykowski posted:Every goddamn convenience store in Chengdu is only putting expensive waters in the coolers. Like 15rmb. Cheap beers in the cooler, though. Even Jilin street cooler water was 6RMB,wgat the hell. Also Arglebargle check your weixin. Also I'm bad at ktv. But good at drinking baijiu. Today I hugged pandas and pushed Chinese away when exiting the subway. Am I experiencing true China. Add me to the group chat, Jeohist is my id I think. Also I have Chinaphone but I don't know my number. Chengdu is cool guys, come visit!

I think baijiu is pretty okay but I'm in the ghetto of Panzhihua and people keep walking in and GAMBEI and soon I will die. The toothpaste here is black and I slept in the old school hard sleeper without airco and with people opening windows (at night, are people here loving retarded or deaf?). Overall I quite like China  ymmv

I flew Delta once because it was a KLM codeshare. I don't know what happened to the stewardesses but I ended up pretending only to speak Dutch so I got actual decent service. gently caress me, even the TSA interview (yay SSSS) was more friendly.

Revolutionary ice cream! How do you even eat pizza with chopsticks? I introduced pizza to my gf's parents who had never tried it before and just showed them that they can use their hands. Went down well!

You never have anything to declare at customs and if you're caught just tell them it's a mistake and give them a cigarette package.

Copypaste from the Chinese Language Thread:quote:This is a pretty big question, especially if you're starting out. Which set to learn?! Well, the answer is easy: both! I'm thinking about getting to a conversational level (which I guess is HSK4?) so at least I can tell people to do things other than 肏你妈. Unfortunately the self-study part of the thread is empty

Here's what you do: Get a tourist visa. Book a hotel and cancel it when you get your visa. When you arrive in China, go to the local PSB with two passport-sized photos, a copy of your ID and a copy of the ID of the person living there (you also bring this person) to register as a laowai tourist. Don't get the 'visiting relatives' visa, it's a big headache. You might be able to skip the registration but it just takes a few minutes and lets you experience Chinese bureaucracy!

Going to my girlfriend's friend's wedding, it was really weird when I heard the World of Warcraft theme and apparently we had to trick them into drinking some disgusting drink with the most horrible ingredients (dark soy sauce, baijiu, other random poo poo)??? I don't understand but I got really drunk and said 干杯 a lot.
