I was in Yosemite with my mother 2 days ago and she was standing looking at half dome with binoculars. Some Korean tourist group comes behind her and set up for a photo, then forcibly pushes my mother pretty hard and say in English "Go Away photo".

So she stays in the shot taking a look at binoculars for 5 minutes, and I interject and stand next to her. The tourist group tries to take their photo blocking my mother from the shot, so I visibly flip them off as they took their photo. As they walked away I vocally yelled at them to gently caress off too.

I hope Yosemite hasn't been ruined by tourists before I get a chance to visit.

I’m lazy so I’m cross posting, suggestions for Netherlands activities for old retired couple welcome.

So my wife and her parents are doing a first time trip in Europe. Father in law went to Germany and Netherlands for work 30 years ago and mother in law went to France as well. My wife has never been to Europe and is basically “winging it”.

So far they landed in Frankfurt, went to the town of Mainz, and is slowly making their way up the Rhine and into the Netherlands. They stopped along Cochem and Luxembourg, Koln and now are in Amsterdam. As much as my wife loves english medieval history, she’s kind of done with castles, churches, and town squares. Which I’m kind of disappointed in her because we never get sick of Buddhist temples and we can track the change in religious art styles and Buddhist sects.

It’s only a week and parents in law (65 and 60 years old) only have 11 days left before going back to Frankfurt and flying to China. I’m going to meet up with her in London and spend a week there. After London we will pick up a goon buddy and do a road trip around midlands and England.

Anyways, my inlaws will be spending 5 days in Amsterdam, and 2 days in Rotterdam with 4 days to spare. I’m not Dutch and I’m racking my brain for stuff to do.

  • See the Van Gogh museum near closing time
  • See the state museum in the morning.
  • Eat Dutch food, stampotten, pancakes, Harring, bitterballen, the works
  • Meet up with Dutch goon Jeoh
  • Giethoorn - they really wanna go there
  • Delft, go see the royal lineage and where William the orange was buried
  • The Hague, see how China lost its court ruling for South China Sea
  • that patch of windmills near Rotterdam, sorry I’m phone posting
  • some more museums
  • Gouda cheese market
  • maybe, just maybe share a space cake
  • the Jewish quarter in Amsterdam
  • I suppose if they still have time they can go to Antwerp or Belgium or even to Bruges
  • or back to Frankfurt
  • drat I realize that a good chunk of my time in the Netherlands is waiting outside jeoh’s house to open the door or I just run between cities each morning
  • love suggestions!

She’s loving Europe and eating bread everyday and getting happily fat. She also loves the Netherlands, there might not be the same number of prestigious sights compared to Paris or London, but the density is amazing and it’s easy to get around compare to Rhineland. She’s also thrown off how you can get different country or small town vibes once you cross the border.

Man I miss Europe and wish I can watch the World Cup there. Except being in England, god english football fans are trash

The TV Producer Accused Of Rape Alongside Film Star Yunxiang Gao Has Been Refused Bail

Jing Wang, the Chinese TV producer accused of raping a woman in Sydney, has been refused bail and will stay behind bars while waiting for trial, while his co-accused, film star Yunxiang Gao, is released under strict conditions.

Wang and Gao, both 35, were in Australia to film the TV show Love in Aranya earlier this year when they allegedly raped a woman in a hotel room after a night out at dinner and a karaoke bar to celebrate the wrap of production.

The two men have each been charged with aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault occasioning actual bodily harm over the alleged events early in the morning of March 27 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney.

Consent is likely to be the issue at trial, with forensic and CCTV evidence expected to prove Gao and Wang were in the hotel room with the woman, the court has heard.

Wang was denied bail at the New South Wales Supreme Court on Wednesday afternoon.

At his bail hearing last week before Justice Elizabeth Fullerton, a witness named Wei Wei, who is involved in the Chinese film industry, testified that Wang could not flee to China because of his notoriety.

He told the court that he had seen numerous photos of Wang distributed across Chinese social media, particularly on Weibo and WeChat, since he was arrested.

Wei also said that if Wang did abscond, it would be seen as an admission of guilt and lead to him not being able to live or work in China.

“In China social media is very popular… This matter is a very hot topic. It has been pushed into everyone’s smartphones as the hot topic,” he said.

“You can’t really speak on behalf of 1.3 billion people,” said prosecutor Daniel Waldmann.

“I understand that, but my acquaintances in China in the film and media industry also share the common view he will be recognised by the general public,” Wei said.

Wang's barrister Ian Lloyd QC argued that Wang should be released as he is being held in an area with 100 other prisoners, none of whom speak Mandarin, and he can only communicate with them via hand signals.

“He speaks no English whatsoever,” Lloyd said. “Maybe ‘Hello’.”

Waldmann argued that the bail sureties offered for Wang were from people who didn't have a close relationship with him, which detracted from their worth in terms of mitigating Wang's flight risk.

“Money offered by his father, of all the sureties, is probably the only sum he would really not want to lose by breaching bail,” Waldmann said.

The two bail hearings were separate proceedings before different judges. Fullerton noted during Wang's hearing that “there may well be two completely different bail outcomes”.

Gao was granted bail by Justice Lucy McCallum late last month.

He is subject to a string of conditions, including electronic monitoring; reporting twice daily to police; surrendering his own passport and the passports of his wife, daughter, and mother; using only one mobile phone with the number provided to the police; not going within 1 kilometre of Sydney International Airport; a 9pm–5am curfew; and that he must not contact any prosecution witnesses. He has also provided sureties of more than $3 million.
