I hate just saying that poo poo all white noise-like but I don't have to deal with my Hong Kong colleague at all anymore and I've ignored the meetings she's invited me to that I have nothing to do with (to show off that she knows a foreigner businessman)

It's just big cities. I moved out of Alphabet City in NYC to a more quiet spot in Brooklyn that has barely any bars....and it's still loud. It's just not bar related noise. Hoodrat poo poo.

British China looks like a nice and clean place. Anyway, earlier I posted an article about Goldman Sachs removing 30 percent of their investment banking division from Asia, with a large portion from Hong Kong.

To me, this seems like a huge sign that the economy there is finally being viewed in the west as being not as strong as China would present it.

I've seen something similar to that in NYC. Essentially, if you're Asian they seem to screen you. I used to live by Thompson Square Park and walked my dog there all the time and I saw a lot of disingenuous food line stuff by Asians and also morning Tai chi accompanied by like a group of twenty elderly Tai chi-ers hocking out enormous loogies and generally hacking and coughing.

I gotta move to the suburbs.

Oh, and I can't forget can collecting elderly lady that goes through my trash but was yelled at for popping a squat while doing so (number 2) so now I'm 99% sure she just shits in her pants by my estimate from walking behind her. This is in a more residential area of Brooklyn so I understand that it's difficult to find a public restroom and since making GBS threads all over the sidewalk in front of my neighbors home isn't cool, I guess blowing a hole through your pants is all you got.

She waves and tries to kind of communicate with me which I don't appreciate. I've never felt like I was a class oriented person or the kind of person to look down at someone or even feel like I would judge someone based on their class but I have never felt more utterly otherwise.

Also someone rolls around in a lovely Mercedes who yells at her in Chinese. I don't know if this is her older son, or husband or can collector pimp but something is loving going on.

I kind of have a real question for you guys. So, my HK counterpart always asked if I'd like to work in HK or see HK, etc. Etc. I always said yes and that it sounds like a very cool place because I try to be polite at work. I got an e-mail from her with her bosses boss loving CC'd on it that's basically like, "oh yeah here is the candidate I spoke about and highly recommended to work here." It's completely insane, everyone knows I have a son and a wife and that moving internationally is just not even a reality among a thousand other reasons.

I don't even know what I would do there since she is my direct counterpart and does what I do. I would be redundant as hell. But seriously, how do respond to this without offending? My colleagues here in NY are like, just tell her no. And shrug, but if this chick decides to become difficult, non communicative and lovely with me --- my work life will become really awful since I rely on her heavily for HK stuff. She always pulls this poo poo, invites me to meetings I don't need to be a part of, especially with the time difference and then I have to show or otherwise she loses face because her foreigner counterpart doesn't respect her to show. Aughhh

Wonder if the HK counterpart is wanting to come to the US or wherever you are, or something like that.

Haha, imagine if it was some weird double bluff where I get relocated to HK and she works in NYC. Honestly, if her behavior is considered cool and good / much improved compares to mainlanders, then I don't know how you guys deal with it. I feel like most the stuff I say to her, even when relatively strong worded falls on deaf ears.

Yeah and I get that she's not retarded but some sensitivity is required and being a huge pussy and saying some sort of family comes first thing seems week. It makes me sound like I'm not ambitious which I'd like to avoid.

I have an Indian friend who sent me pics once of a very aggressive case of pink eye (I think). He eyes were all puffy, crusty and bulging. He blamed the water. Between that the the poo poo river that is the Ganges, I have convinced myself that India is just toxic.

But I'm impressed you drank unfiltered water dude. Also, as someone who has an uneasy stomach as is -- I can't imagine food that goes out of its way to cause sharts. I'd be the shittiest butt goon.
