Mongolia has poo poo drivers because such a huge percent of the population in Ulaanbaatar grew up in the endless Steppes where you could drive your car for a hundred miles in any direction without seeing a living thing. Suddenly they're transported to a city of 1.5 million people that was only designed to hold 400,000 people and all of the streets are falling apart and there's no real stop signs.

One of my ex's was ethnically Chinese from Hong Kong, raised in Germany, then went to college in New York. I met her when I first left the States and it was quite a shock seeing a Chinese girl speak English with a heavy German accent.

Fauxtool posted:there definitely arent gay people in russia, its illegal so why would you be gay? I did work with LGBT groups in Mongolia and this was a super common way of thinking. "Mongols are not gay. Only foreigners are gay." "Well I know some Mongols who are gay and lesbian. There are LGBT people in every country." "I don't think so. Mongols do not do this." "...Alright." They had the exact same attitudes with drugs. I understood that from people who lived out in the countryside and had never heard of most drugs, but I had guys who lived in the capital city tell me "Mongols don't do drugs, it's not in our culture". I'd tell them that just a few weeks before I had seen dudes railing lines off a sink in one of the popular clubs and he responded with "If Mongols are doing drugs it's because foreigners brought them here and made them do it". Which is partially true I guess. Someone was talking about it earlier about how Chinese people make these huge sweeping statements about what "Chinese people" do as though there is a perfect harmony of interests and actions. Mongols do the exact same thing. They all drink a fermented horse milk called aairag, which tastes exactly how you'd expect it to, and whenever I asked people "Do you actually enjoy this?" Mongols would always say "All Mongols love aairag". Then I'd say "But do you enjoy it?" and about half the people would go "Well I don't enjoy it, but everyone else does".

Aairag actually isn't that bad. It just tastes like a thick, sour milk. I love dairy so I could choke down a lot of it if needed. There's never been a point after I left Mongolia where I thought to myself "Man I could go for a liter of aairag right now", but I got used to drinking it at parties and stuff. It's partially ceremonial and I know a ton of Mongols who don't like the taste but they drink it because it's tradition. Historically it wasn't just an alcoholic drink, it was an important source of nutrients. Aairag is actually crazy nutritious and I knew people who consumed basically just that. My friend's grandmother was a woman of about 70 who lived alone in the desert with just a small herd of camels and she almost exclusively ate homemade noodles and camel milk. Even today Mongols have a very different diet between summer and winter. Summer diets are still largely based on hard cheese and fermented milk. They have to be very cautious about killing their herd animals because milk is so valuable. Usually no animals are killed during summer, except for during the summer festival Naadam. It's only during the winter that Mongols start to eat more meat. It's also hard to tell how alcoholic it is because it's always drank in combination with vodka. If there's aairag coming out, the vodka is right behind it. It's also drunk in absolutely massive quantities. When I would go to a party with maybe 15-20 people they would have something in the realm of 20-25 gallons of aairag ready to go, with more in reserve. The funny thing is, even though Mongols have a massive lactose tolerance, they're still human and can only handle so much milk. Usually about 2 hours into a party I would step outside to take a piss and the outhouse would be absolutely covered with chalky white vomit. Throwing up is just a totally normal thing over there, especially when drinking. The only time it got real bad was when we would play this popular Mongolian party game. Mongols have a Rock-Paper-Scissors type game called except it involved all 5 fingers. Each finger beats the one above it (and pinky beats thumb). In this party game you get two teams and sit them facing each other. You then basically have a big tournament here the people at one end face off, and if you win you challenge the next person on the opposing team. The teams compete until one side has run out of players. Each team has a "Patriarch* and if your team loses the Patriarch gets to dole out aairag and vodka to make his own team drink as a punishment for losing. So he might say "Okay you drink a shot of vodka, and she drinks a bowl of aairag". Bowls of aairag are also huge. It's not drank out of cups, only bowls usually. Older men usually have bigger bowls, but even normal ones are probably like 3-4 cups worth of liquid. The thing is, every round of this game the ante gets upped. First round might be 1 shot of vodka, 2 bowls of aairag. Next round is 2 shots and 3 bowls. So after you've played 4-5 rounds if your team loses suddenly your team has to drink 5 shots of vodka and several liters of aairag between them. And of course if you're the foreigner people want to see how much you can drink, and even better if you throw up and pass out. This is also in addition to eating a veritable feast of meat and other cheese products during the party. I do miss Mongolia sometimes. edit: Here's the camel grandma not taking poo poo from her herd

The "it is [x] month so we must wear seasonal clothes regardless of what the actual temperature is" Asian thing is so annoying. I live in Japan and they do it here too. It's been like 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day here, so I walk around in a long sleeve shirt and feel fine. But every other person around me is dressed like we're in a Siberian blizzard. And anyone I interact with absolutely has to comment on my attire to point out that it's December and that means I must be cold.

I think I told this story in an earlier iteration of this thread, but it's worth sharing again. Right when I got to Mongolia another volunteer's Mongolian co-worker had to go to the capital city to get surgery. She had some sort of abdominal cancer, but they caught it really early so they were hopeful that they could do a surgery and remove it. The lady took a few weeks off work to go have this surgery and after it was over doctor was like "Okay awesome, well come back in a year and we'll do another checkup, but I think everything will be fine". So this woman, who was only about 30, was super relieved and got a new lease on life. A year later she went back to the hospital. She had a new doctor this time and they did a bunch of tests to see if the cancer was still in remission. As it turns out, doctor #1 had performed the wrong operation and removed something that was not at all cancerous while leaving the inflicted tissue untouched. I have no idea if he knew he had done it or not. But it had progressed so much in this time that doctor #2 said "There's nothing we can do about it anymore". The Mongolian lady ended up spending tons of money flying to South Korea to see specialists and they told her basically the same thing, that if they had caught it earlier and properly removed it she might have survived. The other Peace Corps Volunteer attended that woman's funeral like a month before she CoS'd and went back home to America.

I think this whole argument can be summed up with one nice historical reality. China invented gunpowder but only used it to make fireworks to scare off ghosts. Chinggis Xaan looked at it and said "Yo we can use this to blow the hell out of stuff".

It's incredibly easy to find strange and not end up in these situations Have you ever met the kind of person who continually gets fired from very job they have, and when you ask them they always have some story about how it absolutely wasn't their fault and it was some crazy situation that came upon them because that's just their life? That Haier, but with women.

Haier posted:I have found that one of the best things about the Mainland's short-sighted and selfish "ME FIRST OMG" shortcut-everything culture, is that the check-out stands in the supermarket directly in front of the exit always have a line of people 10-20 deep for each register, while the registers on the far side away from the exit (10 meters away) are usually empty or only have 1-3 people in line because holy poo poo, who the gently caress would want to want to walk MORE and spend less time, when I could stand MORE and spend MORE time on my phone????? Stupid leg-havers are cheating themselves out of that sweet, sweet play phone time, almost arriving back home before I even get to pay for my stuff. They did this in Mongolia, and in Japan. I'm convinced it's more because people want to spend as much time away from home as possible. Like when I go to the park at 8PM on a Saturday and I see cars filled with men watching anime on their phone alone in the driver's seat.

The big issue I've seen in Japan is that is actually does attract some pretty decent people, but they only stay like a year or two. They either go back home having done something cool for a bit or move into a more serious/permanent position. The basement dweller anti-social sperg lords are the ones who stay 8 years before moving back home with nothing to show for it.

nickmeister posted:Why is it that these assholes are so ignorant about their own country? Their suburban childhoods were so boring they know more about China than their own country. I was in the Peace Corps with a Chinarphile guy. He lived there for like 4 months and one of the first things he said to me was "I'm only attracted to Asians". He got engaged to a Mongol girl and they're married now. Before we finished our service he told me "My kid is going to be tri-lingual, he/she is going to speak English, Chinese, and Mongolian". Neither he nor his wife speak any Chinese, so I'm not sure how he thinks that's going to happen.

The RoC constitution says Mongolia belongs to China, but in like 2012 they came out and made some comments to the contrary. However, given the messy relations between PRC/RoC nothing every really changed. I think the constitution also claims some parts of Russia.
