I lived in Asia for ages and always thought a wet market referred to a market on a river

I thought a wet market had something to do with that hill in Seoul.

With the CCP's rather large body count youd think racists would love the CCP

Was going to say, if we were the type to cheer on the murder of Chinese then Mao Zedong would be our eternal hero.

I was actually thinking that this morning. At least once a week since 9/11 I have woke up and wondered if any godawful disasters have occured overnight, while I reach for my phone.

Inevitably I just see that it was just a huge earthquake or a virus outbreak and just go get some breakfast.

I'm just hoping I can get sick so I can use up some sick days. I've hit the balance ceiling of 20 already.

As opposed to the country that regularly pumps out new disease thanks to poo poo hygiene and eating anything they find, then trying to cure it with TCM.

Pretty sure they're just saying 'If this spreads to India, build a bunker'.

Ive drunkenly fell asleep in the ueno station toilet. Friends got me out before anyone else.

Im thinking of touring the Japanese country side on a motorcycle, how much should i expect disdain as a foreigner, i know enough japanese to survive but cant carry much of a conversation.

I don't think they'd care much either way. Money's money.

I'm planning an onsen/hanami crawl up the west coast in September, so hopefully I won't be thrown out.

On the opposite end of the spectrum to bad chinese bathrooms I went to a club in Shanghai and the bathroom attendant started massaging my shoulders as I pissed in the urinal. I went with it and found it very relaxing.

"We wish you to calm down and reflect" is a great passive aggressive response.

All it needs is "I'm not here to educate you" or something similar and it'll tick every box.

I mean hey the longer a country has been around the more dirty laundry they're going to have so if China claims 5000 years of history that's 5000 years of atrocities to dig through

Atrocities don't count if Whitey didn't do them, apparently.

Japan is considered an honorary whitey by this point, due to losing its exotica status over the decades.
