I really feel the same way, at least for work related stuff. My company has a really heavy emphasis on running things america-style and has a lot of processes in place to prevent a lot of this stuff from happening. The building design, decoration, and landscaping were also originally done by a foreign company so I don't have these cool stories. Except the time that a giant piece of wall came loose and hit the ground next to the barista in the cafe area

The Great Autismo! posted:it's time for TGA's "Hey, We're Moving Offices in China! lol!" God drat at this rate I'm going to lose my over/under bet on that place being serviceable. Even so, I imagine the formaldehyde levels in there are amazing right now. You should totally get one of those cheap testing kits from Taobao for fun. We bought one when our team moved into a new office and people were randomly getting headaches and dizzy spells, and the results were great, like "illegal even by china standards" great. It turned out you were supposed to let those new cubicle materials 'gas out' on the roof or something for a while first rather than shove them into an enclosed space where the windows don't open. Told the office manager and China Face took over, causing her to tell us "If you don't like it you can leave. Illegal levels, are you threatening me? I have a better lawyer than you." A day or two later she quietly had the cubicles (only from the people who complained) replaced with the older, rotten ones (now no formaldehyde, just mold and poo poo). So the headaches went away in our half of the office, but the people on the other side were still hosed. Super glad I don't work there anymore. And yeah construction here is weird in that there will be no progress for 3-6 months, and then suddenly 70% of the work is finished in a few days. There was an Ajisen Ramen place that was gutted and dead for about 2 months, and then I walked by it a week later and it was a a finished, stocked clothing store.

Haier posted:TCM uses stuff like moxibustion, which burning a big cigar thing that smells like burning garbage and holding it close to an energy point or meridian and then getting lung cancer a few years later. I have met people that seriously do moxibustion 4-10 times per day and they don't give a poo poo that they are inhaling their own impending death because they believe a little bit of heat on this one point is going to solve everything. Just get one of those hot water enema bottle pad things and put it on, or do some jumping jacks or something. There's a TCM clinic near me with an official wechat account and they'll post short videos for one of the heat therapy things. You lie on a table and they drape several layers of heavy blankets over your entire body, then squirt something flammable onto the top layer. They light it on fire, let it burn for about five seconds, then toss another blanket on top to smother it. Repeat several times. Yes the treatment is to repeatedly light people on fire, instead of just using an electric blanket or hot water bottles.

Yo Indian demonetization nearly ruined my vacation and on a couple of days forced me to wait for hours in bank queues so I could break down enough invalid cash to buy food, since I was in an area that didn't use credit cards and didn't have internet or 3G. A few days ago there were reports of old people dying from exhaustion waiting in bank queues, and back on Nov 9 I was witness to a riot at a toll road out of Delhi where nobody could get through because their cash wasn't accepted. I eventually got through when my taxi driver flashed my passport at them and made up some story forcing them to accept a 1000 note. India, everyone smells like armpits and gutka

Haier posted:LOL. I was in Delhi for maybe 2 days (internet wasn't too bad but most free wifi wants to send an SMS and China Unicom was being a bitch and not letting me roam even though I unlocked it). I was out for the rest of the time, so that's why internet and mobile coverage got bad and we also had brownouts daily. On the plus side the prices were maybe 30% of Shanghai prices so the early days where there was a 4k rupee conversion limit at banks was generally enough to last a few days, though the following week the limit was changed to 2k and later 2.5k. Being in a laid back poo-gas meant a lot less rioting, but I saw some seriously pissed people in Delhi, including foreigners. At Taj Mahal I saw a group of Chinese tourists get hosed and have a blowout with their driver/guide, as the admission fee was 500/1000 rupees per person and they only had the 500/1000 notes, meaning that the 3 hours 1-way trip was for nothing unless maybe some good samaritan could swap notes with them. That newspaper I took a photo of included a great story about how hosed the ATMs are from this change. All of the ATMs need to be recalibrated to only handle the valid (and new) notes, meaning a technician needs to physically go to the machine to fix it. The article explains how this would not only be a hassle for the rural areas, but that logistically this is loving hard because the process involves coordinating five people (techs, transport, bank employees) to service the ATM, and there are very few qualified people. There are also reports of banks nationwide having problems storing all of the invalid cash pending govt collection after everyone running on the banks, and in rural areas many banks still haven't been issued the new notes (new 500/2000) but at least i got to chew on sugar and fennel seeds after every meal and have people say "excuse me" in the rudest way possible when they want to get around me LentThem fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Sep 19, 2017 |
