Fojar38 posted:it should still be fun though because indian feelings are almost as easy to hurt as chinese feelings Not in my experience. Most Indians, especially the younger crowd, will unquestioningly agree with you when you bring up India's problems. The more education they have, the more they see it for what it is. Especially those who went abroad. Protesting and complaining got them independence, and every citizen there loves to gripe about how corrupt the government is. It's the nationalists, like anywhere else, that get super butthurt when the videshi brings up something against India.

Every Indian I've talked to about a war with china, which is all of them the moment they learn I've lived in China, says India will win because the Chinese are about as trust worthy as their lead-based products. Of course Chinese think, due to propaganda, that the northern part of India actually belongs to China, so they will be justified in taking back what they think belongs to them. Either way, it's dumb armchair bs.

Accretionist posted:Haha, that's quite the dramatization of Sky Burials, I assume. I'm on China Mobile and I don't even know what speed it is but it absolutely feels like 2G. It might even be 2G. The Ambani family are a bunch of criminals, but whenever they back things they have nearly unlimited money and connections to do get poo poo done. I mean, holy poo poo, 50 fuckin rupes a gib. I was on Vodafone and Tata-Docomo last year and their rates were like 2GB at 2G for 100 rupees ($1.50 USD) and Rs. 300 for 2GB 3G speed (as they call it). At Rs. 50 a GB of data at 4G, that's going to be amazing. Too bad Indian internet is censored for just the good stuff (porn, torrents, and some Indian news sites). The outcry when that happened was really big, but people were too ashamed to go protest about it because who wants to out themselves as protesting for porn and pirated movies?

I knew it was too good to be true. All that relative quiet and calm in my apartment. This is China, and one must always remember that living in an apartment in China means loving hammering, sawing, and drilling from some nearby apartment, from sun up to sun down, and maybe sometimes into the late evening.

I was worried about bedbugs in China, since many places in the US have infestations (especially Honolulu, where I first met a bedbug and have been terrified ever since), but like other posters said they spray the rooms with some chemical cocktail and bedbugs are a thing of imagination. Maybe my apartment radiates some sort of dire poisonous warning, because even with the windows and balcony door open I don't even get mosquitoes despite there being huge trees outside. Now I'm kinda worried.

There was a US company (I think) that developed and sold some sort of machine you could use at home that sucked humidity from the air and then condensed and purified it and made it potable. Based on the size of the machine you could get 4-15 liters of water per day if you lived in a humid environment. They were the size of mini-fridges and you would place one on your porch or balcony to get maximum humid air exposure. I don't know what happened to them, but I thought it was a really good idea and something would solve problems for a lot of people. Sure, you need electricity to run the machine, but if it were solar or wind powering it then it would basically be a free clean water machine. Meanwhile, I am scared to make soup at home with the stuff coming out of my tap. It's not the bacteria, but the fine particles of mystery metals and minerals that are probably in it.

If humidity is high you can get about two gallons of water per day from one of those.

I've noticed that the only two groups of people here passing out flyers (coincidentally the only two groups who also do the signs, banners, and loudspeaker shouting) are real estate and gyms. I've been handed at least 20 flyers in my neighborhood for 20 different gyms. They all say "hallo" and give me one because they know foreigners might also be customers. I have never once seen a gym here, despite being harassed to sign up for one every single day I go outside. It is my opinion that gyms are the new bakeries. The only difference is the suckers who pay for the one year discount won't get their money back when the gym disappears in a month.

max4me posted:Huh did you post stories about chinese people not wanting to work up a (unhealthy sweat) at the gym or was that a different goon. I was actually writing a post about how my boss's TCM guru man is living in the spare office where I was when the forums went down. Whenever I write something long I usually copy/paste just in case my internet dies or some problem happens (a habit I picked up ages ago when pages wouldn't save data if you had to hit the Back button). I am just posting the part where he's tried to explain TCM theory to me: TCM believes that human beings, unlike all other living organisms on this dumb gay Earth, do not have a functioning level of homeostasis to keep the body alive. Because of this we are constantly at war with the elements and temperatures around us and we have absolutely no way to fight back. There must be some sort of balance between all of this, and we are entirely responsible for it. That is why hot water is good for healthy, because the body cannot heat up cool or cold water and it will drastically plummet our core temperature and we'll get sick. This is why when it's 30C outside and the wind is 5C cooler, you will absolutely get influenza or a "cold." Same goes for going in and out of an air conditioned room. This is also why it's really bad for healthy to go out when it's raining. Every possible change in the body's position or temperature or moisture level is an attack that leaves the body open to illness, or causes an illness. It's amazing that people got anything done at all before. Sweating is very bad for healthy. It signifies illness, or at least the fact that you are sweating means you are now very open to illness. Sweating while sick is good because the bad things are removed, but sweating while fine is the health equivalent of giving your credit card to a known criminal and dropping him off at the shopping mall. You will sweat out your health, basically. Cardio is bad for the lungs and heart because some out of shape goon felt the burn and the burn meant BAD. Meanwhile, stuff like cupping and drinking near-boiling temperature herb water is good for circulation because the body freaks out and doesn't know how to respond to obvious injury. Because our bodies have no proper way to maintain homeostatis, it is up to us and the TCM wizards to keep round-the-clock awareness on the state of our health. We can help by acupuncture, cupping, slapping and hitting, getting warmed by moxibustion, and eating foods that fall on some side of the yin and yang charts when someone tells us we are too yin or too yang. Things like accepting that there are individual body types and standards of health is not really important. It goes on, but now I really see how much of this is ingrained so hard into the all of people's regular thoughts on health and activities. It's too bad. Take all of that and multiply it by 1000 when a woman is pregnant. She no longer has a life of her own and is free to do things on her own. She is a glass vessel held together by Scotch tape and and chewing gum and the slightest breaking of TCM rules and regulations means that the baby will die, or she'll die too. Everything from how she eats, to the TV shows she watches (or cannot watch), it's all one heart beat too fast and the baby is dead as poo poo or coming out disabled (don't worry, acupuncture will fix his Down's).

Imperialist Dog posted:One group had rolled miniputt carpeting onto their section of the road so we could imagine a "greening" of central Hong Kong, which could somewhat alleviate the pollution and the heat island effect. One group was giving demonstrations on what it's like for kids with ADHD or dyslexia to learn in Hong Kong's pressure-cooker education system by clipping those blood pressure finger clips on your fingers and telling you to write, while sitting on a cushion with hard objects inside to make you squirm, while trying to pay attention to the "teacher". Some groups were putting on musical performances. There were lots of families and people just plain enjoying themselves. This was a good post, and thanks for the photos and story. This whole part stood out to me as a big difference between Mainland and Hong Kong. Thinking about the city's problems? Thinking about other people and their problems? Thinking about anything at all? Whaaaaaaaat? I give it another generation or two after all the Mainlanders have flooded HK (and the locals have run off to other countries) to make all those weird things go away.

Grand Fromage posted:Italy was the worst driving I ever saw until Korea. Korea was then the worst until China. I have not gotten below China yet, though I suspect India may. India is way safer for driving, IMO, and I have lived east, west, and north in the country. I don't know about the south, but parts I lived are a lot better at expecting stuff in the road because there is so much of it. Dogs, camels, cows, people, monkeys, carts, rickshaws, bikes, religious processions, etc. There's always something in the road that is not a car, bike, or truck. They can handle all of that. All of the dumb driving I see in China is still stuff I never once saw in India, such as "Oh, I missed my exit. Let me brake on the freeway and back up into traffic so I don't have to loop back around." I see idiotic and plain dumb driving here that constantly makes me wonder how there aren't more insane crashes every moment every place. It's like a country of 15 year old kids who got their driver's permits but didn't have any training and don't need the adult to sit with them when they go out.

I stayed like 4 nights in a place like in that photo above where the kitchen and food were less than a meter away from the toilet because they were built into the same room. It was so loving disgusting, and also hilarious to think that this building was only like 20 years old and people then still thought building an apartment complex where you literally poo poo and eat in the same place is a good idea. "Why, yes, I do agree that I really enjoy this hepatitis that I acquired in my house. Thanks for asking." I hope whoever designed those blue prints gets pink eye for the rest of his life.
