THE PWNER posted:from what I understand the only reason that she was able to get out of china was because she spoke English, so she was able to petition consulates for a humanitarian visa herself until she found one that would listen. and her education obv made it easier to justify allowing her to immigrate despite having no formal proof of id. There's probably people in similar situations who are just stuck now, forever legally not actually existing. This sounds like a loving cyberpunk novel

It's probably just from the time I spent in (coincidentally) Thailand but Brits are almost exponentially louder and more obnoxious than Americans. So are Israelis, but I think that's a sampling issue.

A big difference I observed was that, at least in Thailand, Americans abroad are dumb and drunk and rude and whatever, but are generally having a good time and will sometimes forget where we are and try to tip you and it's generally all good. I think this is because our really obnoxious bro-ey tourists are going off to Mexico or the Caribbean instead. Britain's ambassadors to Southeast Asia are sweaty loud leering fat bald men in Premier League shirts and sweaty loud lanky balding boys in tank tops and both of those types will start a fight faster than you can say "Birmingham." I have been threatened by a strange British man for the crime of being in the same McDonald's. I have watched Brits roll around in the gutter of a red-light district sloppily punching each other in the head and shouting incoherently. I got in a shouting argument with a British man on the street after too many beers over whether Polish was a real ethnicity or if the whole thing was just a ruse made up by some sneaky dirty little Slavs to get into Europe. Now, Canadians can be even worse but at least they're quiet about it.

Fauxtool posted:His brother would have been a much better king had he not committed suicide shooting himself in the back of his head with his non-dominant hand and ending face up on his bed. (MUUUUUURDER) They also killed the servants that found the body for some reason They went back and forth about what the explanation was supposed to be, so they accused those servants of murder, tried and executed them, then went back to calling it a suicide, and I would never disrespect Thailand by implying that that explanation has any holes in it. Thailand is a really wonderful country full of really great people, and it has a huge amount to offer that have nothing to do with drinking lovely, overpriced beers in places where the women are wearing numbers as nametags.

Now, this is substantively different than the other idea because of power dynamics and the framing of "white dudes seducing are wimminz with their... who knows" vs. those dirty foreign criminals, but it's the closest thing I can think of, unless you want to count people bitching about British dudes coming over for an exchange year in college and getting laid just off their accents.

Brannock posted:I can't wrap my head around the whole face thing and how it's so incredibly at odds with chabuduo. Wouldn't you lose face if you put out a substandard product? What am I missing? The missing part is this: you don't lose face by making a substandard product. Somebody else loses face by calling your product substandard because until they complained there wasn't any problem. Your fuckup has to reach monumental proportions, like "tainted baby formula" levels of bad, before it becomes okay for other people to say "hey you hosed up here." If it's not there yet, you ignore it. If somebody says there's a problem then it must be their problem.

In Thailand they flavor the rotgut with spices and other poo poo, and maybe coloring? so that it's a color somewhere between whisky and piss. I lived next to a whisky warehouse and a market with a bar stall, and you're not supposed to sell the rotgut in the city anymore, so the bar stall would go raid the dumpster behind the warehouse and find the empty whisky bottles the workers would put out when they'd swipe bottles out of the crates. So you could go drink something foul-tasting out of a single-malt whisky bottle if you wanted. Here in Are China I had the new guys try baijiu--not even bad stuff, the 金門58 stuff--and even the guy who used to live in Georgia (the country) said it was the worst thing he'd ever tasted.

If she has no degree she basically can't be working legally and above-board anywhere, so she'll have to look for somewhere that won't matter as much. Try Cambodia or Thailand?

My friends and I went out of the city last weekend and it was a novelty for us to have people turning their heads ("look at the waiguoren!") and having kids run up to us like "Good morning!" A few weeks ago I was using the MRT and a lady turned to me and said something and I had already gotten all the way through my reflexive "duibuqi wo ting bu dong" before my brain caught up and said "she asked a question and the answer's yes, say dui or hao or something." My supervisor speaks pretty good Mandarin though and every so often he still gets people being like "ohhhhh wow your Mandarin is so good!" or just acting like they forget he's speaking it and replying to him in broken English. e: I would say that part of the reason--not all of the reason--I'm studying it on my own time is that I don't want to go home for a visit and be like "nah I haven't actually learned the language of the place I live," as a foreigner you can totally get by not speaking it even if some of the locals and other expats are gonna think you're lazy.

basic hitler posted:I took german over mandarin in highschool At least German is easy to pronounce even if the advanced grammar is loving shameful. Yes, let's conjugate adjectives, fml. One thing about languages is that I have a ton of respect for Asian people who learn something like French, Spanish, or German, since all the things that suck about English are worse with them. And I find people (at least here in #1 China) to be really forgiving about my still-lovely Mandarin because "Yes, Chinese is the hardest language to learn, but keep working and you'll get it, 加油!"

So on TCM--yesterday, I was told that according to Chinese medicine, a man shouldn't ejaculate too much, no more than 2-3 times a week, as it will drain the "hot" energy from his body. Women, being naturally "cold", want to steal that heat for themselves. Haier, when you go see the doctor, please have her take your temperature both before and after plunging.

Falun Bong Refugee posted:That suit jacket is tripping me out. Is It a shawl collar, wtf is going on there? An elderly Chinese woman walks down the sidewalk, hands clasped firmly behind her back, eyes fixed somewhere on the ground in front of her. Suddenly, in her path: me, the enormous pussy. I stubbornly refuse to yield. The old woman keeps going for a moment, eyes still fixed, no acknowledgement of the obstacle in her path. Then the smell hits her. I stand, angrily, a truly enormous pussy directly in her path. With a cruel, sideways grin I open my festering oyster-mouth. "Neen how?" I intone, moistly. She refuses to acknowledge the interruption to her daily plan. Frustrated, I push my way past her, towering wetly over her bent frame. Shaking her head silently, she continues on her way. I have lost face today.

Falun Bong Refugee posted:Umm... Ok. What does that have to do with the weird suit? Recently a 31-year-old man, appropriately surnamed （王）, has begun stopping off inside me on his way to and from work--perhaps mistaking me for a convenient alcove or stairway. He squats listlessly, smokes listlessly, and plays with his phone--listlessly. Attempting to appeal to his better nature, I erected signs inside me, of the classic "crossed-out cigarette" kind. If anything, he visits me more frequently now. I came to him one day in a huff, steaming: "What are you doing here? Can't you see the signs? Can't you see how sensitive my soft, yet muscular insides are?" He flicked more ash on the firm, sticky floor of my love canal and said, slowly, without raising his eyes: "Dui bu qi... wo ting bu dong."
