This includes second and third generation north americans and not just immigrants. Some make sense phonetically like Xian -> Sean and others are just odd like Wen Ching -> Joanne. One guy I've known for decades just decided to call himself Patrick when he was 13; it had no relation to his chinese name. "I just like the sound of it" he said. the chinese kid on my steam friends list calls himself Small Mango

I know a woman named Chanel and another one named Ice. Chinese beer sucks, but every place seems to carry Heineken anyway. Cheap baijiu, which might make you blind, is where it's at though.

K is hard to overdose on, but usually if you are doing K in amounts where overdose would even be a worry you are probably doing other stuff with it, which will cause problems.

When loving Heineken and Pabst are considered superior beers instead of what you drink because it's cheap and easy to find you've got problems. And I loving love cheap lagers and once drank a lot of Budweiser because I was living overseas and felt homesick.

I planned on crunching down on some super ironic and insightful cereal at her inevitable funeral that I'm going to have to shell out $$$ for a plane ticket to. The amount of K you would have to be doing like a sane drug user would put you in a k-hole / catatonic state before you could actually do enough to kill you. You'd have to literally be doing something like snorting a 30 foot line or purposefully trying to kill yourself. Casual googling puts the 50/50 lethal dose at 400mg/kg, or around 30-40 grams for an adult male that isn't a lardass. It gets complicated when you start mixing other things with it, which can result not in an overdose, per se, but in shutdown / failing cardiac and respiratory functionality. Sort of like the reason that you shouldn't mix opiates and benzos. One depresses lung functionality, which is fine, and the other depresses cardiac functionality, which is fine. But together they're a combination for death. If you're going to drink or do any opiates / barbiturates / downers, please be careful and not stupid. Also, because the effective dosage is so low on ketamine, it's very easy to do 'too much'. Not enough to kill you, but enough to ruin your night. Once upon a time, I worked on a cardiology research project. The doctors were giving ketamine to babies for anesthesia because it didn't significant negative affects on heart functionality, allowing them to run cardiac tests that were untainted by the anesthesia required to put the babies under. When I heard this at an investigators dinner, I nearly spat my food out before saying, "Ya'll give k to babies?" buttcrackmenace posted:odd, the video works for me. Came from the VIce article linked earlier. This makes more sense now.

The city brewery in Harbin makes a pretty good light lager, which is not the best kind of beer, but of that kind of beer it's more than fair. This is because a bunch of Germans moved there in the 1800s and shock horror opened a brewery. It was also in this city that I was offered special northern cabbage, which we only eat here, not some other place in China, which was sauerkraut.

It is legal to perscribe K to children under a certain age as they don't get any of the hallucinogenic effects.

That's why Hong Kong cops love raiding video arcades, Karaoke bars, dance clubs, or wherever they think people will "get rowdy" The whole karaoke building got shut down. And the video system got cut off. We had to wait for the police to search/id/clear each room before we can start singing again. But Hong Kong cops are absolutely terrified of speaking English and dealing with white people

They laughed at me and thought I was bluffing and wanted to take me in. Luckily I was with my mates who were undeniably guai lo. loving cheeky cunts.

Bhodi posted:Why is this? Because they usually can't speak English and are intimidated. When I lived in Taiwan, I never bothered to get a scooter license. I didn't live in Taipei so I almost never got stopped because I was white, they'd just wave me through checkpoints. When they did stop me, I'd pretend to only speak English and they've give up in short order. In Taipei, where the cops do sometimes speak English, I'd just pretend to be a non-English speaking Frenchman and get the same free pass. My two years of high school French 15 years ago was good enough to fool them.

Bhodi posted:Why is this? Hong Kong police are, like police in most countries, largely uneducated dudes looking for a comfortable government salary (it's waaayy higher than anything they'd get in the private sector) with shitloads of benefits. They are, however, considered Hong Kong civil servants and by virtue of that are required to speak English as well as Chinese, because it's still an official language in the SAR. I loved loving with cops by going up to them and asking for directions and poo poo in English, because they always get terrified and look at each other (they usually patrol in pairs) trying to decide who would have to deal with me. These guys will go into a gunfight before they'll speak English.
