That is surprisingly neat. Need some pics of HK island or Mongkok electrical wiring, it is amazingly hosed up at times. Google search only finds the tidy ones, the real masterpieces are elaborate 3-dimensional works of art that are difficult to photograph well.

Almost all HK taxi drivers run their own private service, the Android phone with the orange circle is one of the new apps like Uber and shows the taxi is unavailable.

Snail poo is really popular at the moment, South Korea is selling a lot of the weird stuff, not forgetting bird phlegm (bird's nest), snake and bee venom.

A Jupiter posted:EDIT: another video on his channel of the inside of a Chinese IKEA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHCavsC1ofE They sell the food at cost, similarly in HK the restaurant is packed because it is so cheap. They actually expanded the restaurant a couple of times to accommodate more people (MegaBox).

caberham posted:The only passable dim sum place in north America that I tried is the kirin restaurant in Vancouver. San Francisco, Calgary, Chicago (lol), L.A., Toronto. Nope. There's an Aberdeen restaurant in White Plains, just north of NYC, pretty good. The ones I liked in Manhattan all closed out, there is Cha Chang Tang for Canto-food which is not unreasonable. Honolulu Cafe can be found in both Vancouver and San Francisco and has good tea, that's about it.

Tupperwarez posted:Comedy answer: If only this was true, the HKLC in Wanchai has way too many teachers that live by wrote learning but they're using a tape recorder from the past. They insist of dictating a form of Cantonese no one actually speaks. Considering Hongkong style of not following rules by all means possible it is hilarious how strict this schools methods are.

burritolingus posted:That is how I've heard it. That and some people feign injury then claim the person helping them pushed them to get money because a judge ruled helping a stranger is a sign of guilt or something. Also you aren't supposed to pick up lost wallets or things because the owner could have left it there as a trap so they could claim you robbed them then demand payment for silence. The income gap is so huge that people have become really adept at playing people for any amount of money. I remember on a short trip through Shanghai a family would be begging, not just regular pan handling but removing all the clothes from their children and getting them to run and literally throw themselves completely prostrate on the floor in front of tourists. Definitely an alarming experience.

Wendigee posted:http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2015/1220/Around-Asia-Made-in-China-no-longer-means-cheap-or-shoddy China exported products are quite frequently very well made: almost any IT product is made in Canton, the important distinction is products for domestic usage which are so frequently cheap copies with substandard if not hazardous components. Retailers are always forcing cheaper prices which for the garment industry has meant looking at Brazil, India, French-Indochina region at cheaper cost but also significantly worse quality.
