McGavin posted:My MP, ladies and gentlemen. The best part of Chinese celebrations in Vancouver is the immigrant populations have a really good mix of China (mainlanders), Better China (Hong Kong) and Even Better China (Tiawan). You can imagine how well the CCP celebration at city hall is going over in the city, even before you get to all the non-Chinese people wondering why one of their councillors is raising a foreign flag over the city.

Haier posted:Haier plunging crazy. Again. When you first started this story I was almost going to ask how, in a country with zero sex-ed, you were able to have a functional FWB negotiation upfront. The rest of the story filled in the blanks about how functional that chat really was. Is that pretty normal in your experience?

The country probably shouldn't stop. When the Queen finally goes, no one in the Commonwealth is closing the pubs over it.

McGavin posted:So in addition to having a large Chinese community, Vancouver also has a large Punjabi community. One of the major Punjabi holidays is Vaisakhi, which is sort of like a Punjabi Halloween except you don't have to get dressed up and you get Indian food instead of candy when you go door to door. A co-worker was telling me that he almost had to wrestle an armful of T-shirts out of the hands of a nice Chinese lady at the organ donation sign up table they had at that event. No she didn't sign up for organ donation. The doctors murder you if you are in a hospital and are signed up, do you know?

I doubt California has anywhere near as many Mandarin speakers as Vancouver does, but even here Mandarin doesn't even make top 10 of useful languages to know. Portuguese would rank higher. I am sure California can find a better use for the $8 they have budgeted to education than Mandarin classes.

If they try to take off pursue till border then leave off I guess. Even Canada had to start shooting at European fishing boats at one point. Sometimes you just have to escalate it.

My ability to navigate Chinese grocery stores, filled with old Chinese ladies, is 100% due to my ability to pretend I cannot see any of said Chinese ladies blocking the isles pretending they don't see me. They are surprisingly spry when they realize they have been out-Chinard.

Blistex posted:So are they making plastic rice, filling bags, and trying to pass it off as legit rice, or are they only filling bags 75% with real rice and scamming the last 25% with the plastic stuff? I can't imagine people who have been eating rice their entire lives would be fooled if you gave them a bowl that was 100% plastic. You'd think they would find more evidence of this, on the street.

Fojar38 posted:most developed countries have plenty of loving but it results in fewer kids due to better access to healthcare and sexual education They dialed the nerd boys, and the women who will not date them, up to 11. Their marriage rate dropped, and seriously why wouldn't it. They are still living with 1950 (or earlier) gender norms, except every woman in Japan has a television (or cell phone) depicting what the rest of the first world women have. (If you are an angry American feminist I suggest you never look too closely at Japan as you will probably stroke out.)

LonesomeCrowdedWest posted:I've been to many places in the states and nobody has ever picked up on the fact that I'm Canadian when speaking to them, unless they're making small talk about where I'm from while I ask directions or fun stuff to do in the area. Same in Japan and a few other countries. I definitely know people that would be called out for it immediately though. The accent does exist, I just don't think its as common as people think If you are from the west, the accent is quite slight and almost indistinguishable from west coast US. Like the states, the accents gets more pronounced as you go East. There are some words that give it away though. roof, stocking, house, couch

I learned this after visiting an old temple in China and being really confused as to why they were all over the doors! If you are in parts of Asia there are swastika markers all over maps indicating shrines.
