Korean food is good but sameish isn't wrong. It gets old real quick when you live there.

In my experience it then sneaks back up on you and you become even more into it than you were at first. But there was a solid year where I barely ate it and the thought of another pile of boiled red stuff was out of the question.

korean food is hella standardized now but cop a 80's or 90's cookbook in korean and it's like, "huh, there's all sorts of obscure poo poo"

crushed into homogeneity under the pressures of mass productions ofc. but it was there

The WHO chastises countries that restrict entry from China but doesn't bother to even mention the whole "If you are sick you will be imprisoned in a death camp field hospital" thing that China is doing

I'm starting to think that the UN has been compromised by authoritarian regimes

Certainly not if ayis are involved

Edit:
Slightly more seriously, a huge way that China will be improved is first when the current crop of Olds die off, and second when the current crop of late-middle-aged die off.

Lots of progress that just can't happen before then.

good news on that front

Ko Wen-Je facts:
1. his nickname is Ko-P, which can be done in an interlingual pun w/ korean because ko-pi means "nosebleed". Round out the triple language pun by saying, "What does a vampire have for breakfast?" "Ko-P"

the observant reader will note that the english-taiwanese leg will work, the english-korean leg will also work separately. but you gotta have the english leg, kinda

2. He's a specialist in ECMO lol

I would be interested in hearing more about this!

yeah, if you're absolute dictator like mao before the cultural revolution, you can have random rear end quirks just enshrined in the culture, like the one time mao just handed mangoes to everyone and they became basically a symbol of the new china to come

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Marriage_Law

I thought mao got divorced, but it was actually specifically his first wife died of dysentery at like 21. but it was arranged and he loving hated her guts

marriage with foreigners legalized 1983 tho lol

the packages sold in asian markets are labeled anything from "tapioca pearls" to "boba pearls" to "tapioca boba." is there a special name for the juice-filled bubbles? those I only see at White People Froyo joints.

popping bubbles

they are made via a complicated (for cooks, not like actual difficult synthesis) chemical process and last like a day or so so you gotta buy constitutent chemicals

I think the school environment, olds growing up in a dictatorship, required military service, societal homogeneity, respect for doctors, better education across the board, and a lack of conspiracy theory nutjobs goes a long way towards helping with containment.

There are too many FYGM/truthers/anti-establishment/plain old idiots in Canada and the US to pull off what they are doing (without a massive police and military presence to enforce it). The fact that people are intentionally gathering in large groups and avoiding self-quarantining proves (imo) that it's going to be around for a while.

lack of conspiracy theory nutjobs? you know ilbe exists right

it's more that people who are fygm do authority things in korea

explanation goes, korean and japanese drinking is both highly gendered but japans is way more gendered so women drink less there relatively

also its not like a consensus on soju like it is in korea

This is maybe the worst thing about Korea. You have makgeolli, one of the world's great drinks, but you scorn it in favor of industrial ethanol with a bunch of aspartame poured in it?

traditionally made soju is strongly random but when its good its really good

kind of a shame about the ethanol dilution, sure. it does cost 1200 or 1500 won tho, can't have a handmade product at that cost

Not as crazy as I was expecting. I was thinking those Japanese drawings where the white people have noses a meter long (this is still how white people are drawn in Korea/Japan in 2020, it's bizarre).

its just how racist drawing is done. exaggerate those features. political cartoons in the us preserve it, only they exaggerate specific peeps features, not races, so its okish

He was the first Chinese sci-fi author to break out in English as far as I know. Getting there first means more than quality. Maangchi's food largely sucks but she was the first to get big doing Korean recipes in English so she's the go-to now, teaching thousands how to make bad Korean food.

maangchi figured out how to exude ajjuma-ness on english language youtube w/o being racist on screen or having an accent too strong to understand. thats the secret, not the recipes
