Quote from previous threadquote:Asians are really big proponents of "racial tiers" and naturally place their race on top and all others in varying positions below them. I haven't been to Japan or Korea to verify, but as it stands, I can seamlessly blend into a crowd in China or the Philippines as well as countries in SE Asia due to being mixed Chinese-Filipino.

My dad has a recipe from his mother from China for porkchops that I've seen called "Taiwanese style" where they're fried with cornstarch and spices. There's also a shellfish I remember eating in Taiwan that resembled tiny horseshoe crabs that were deep fried. Sadly, I don't have pictures of it but they were amazingly delicious.

I'd honestly expect the entire Asian sphere of the Cold War would have turned out differently up to and including the possibility of China becoming a Fascist state instead of a Communist one

Kavak posted:Red as lucky color x Red as color of socialism = Red loving everywhere. Except when it's gold colored because that's also a lucky color and also represents wealth. Japan also has different cultural and fashion norms since it's had half of a century to culturally develop and modernize their condition of conformity where standing out it's looked down upon. China hasn't had as much tine to develop it as fully and it's too busy trying to get rich

Monkey Fracas posted:In Hong Kong like every store has a bunch of powdered baby formula out front- you're allowed to take a certain amount of it over the border back into China. I'm sure the executions were just a show of force to prove that the government actually does care about scandal and corruption with only some of the individuals responsible getting caught/killed since the others could bribe or flee the country before getting caught in the net. Given what this thread has said about China's justice system, the trial may have been a farce too and even if some were guilty, the lack of any sort of due process makes it feel sort of hollow.

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

Bloodnose posted:American Chinese food is loving delicious (when prepared well by talented people with good ingredients) and real Chinese food is often poo poo (the overwhelming majority of it is prepared by talentless people with the shittiest ingredients). MSG commonly occurs in Soy Sauce and Parmesan Cheese due to its production. It adds no consciously perceptible flavor beyond the salt attached to the glutamate protein which is the active ingredient and mostly acts to "enhance flavor" which is another way of saying it tricks your brain into thinking it's getting meat. It also used to be used in a lot of canned soups iirc. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. Also, Dim Sum is the best form of Brunch.

For example, everyone but the Cantonese find eating cat distasteful, and Manchus are famously opposed to dog-eating (it's basically the only tangible example of Manchu culture left since they've been hanified to hell and back). There's also the Muslim Chinese minority who refuse to eat Pork (basically the staple meat Chinese Cuisine) and replace it with Lamb.

Let's add some more jpgs to china.jpg. These are from a trip I took over the summer in 2010 with my parents in a tour group. Pictures were taken with my phone at the time. Just outside the Beijing airport. Said to be shaped like a tortoise shell  This was on the way to the Forbidden Palace from where our bus parked  In Tienamen Square. Pictured is a government building. I forget if it's the Diet   If you look closely, there are actually soldiers under those umbrellas The entrance to the Forbidden City. Also pictured in the bottom left, the only child in our tour group taking pics with a bunch of Chinese tourists. His mother is the white woman pictured.  Idk when it was last repainted, but it needs to be done again.  A crapton of people come to see the Forbidden City  A throne of someone important. I forget whom.  Pandas! :O  Oh.  Could be worse I guess.  Edit: Not graffiti. Bricks made for the exhibit for the Olympics in 2008.  We actually stayed in some relatively nice places. This was the view from across out hotel room.  Went to see a show at this place. Idk.  This kid(?) was there in the theater lobby hitting the thing in his lap every so often until the doors opened to let everyone in.  Cast of the show after it ended. I forgot what it was about. That was pretty much all we did the first day there in Beijing. Not pictured: The kidney that my family accidentally ordered, thinking it was cuttlefish, the underground mall outside our hotel and probably a bunch of other stuff.

pwnyXpress posted:My wife and I went to Yellowstone last summer and witnessed a group of of Chinese tourists getting literally escorted out of the park. We asked around a bunch and it turns out they were leaving the paths (something you are frequently reminded not to do there) to find places to do their business. Lots of people kept reporting this, but the park workers hadn't caught them in the act until one of the guys apparently pissed in a fumarole right off the side of the boardwalk.

Accretionist posted:Oh, those aren't mine! Sorry, I should make the disclaimer more prominent. Still better than mine. Some more miscellanious ones  Skyline of Shanghai taken in the middle of the afternoon. It was overcast that day, but you can still see some of the haze that hadn't yet reach the absurd proportions China gets  This was on the side opposite.  Saw that in Shanghai as well. Thought it was amusing   I can't recall if this was in Shanghai or Suzhou or Guilin, but it's a Mosque for one of Muslim minorities there (I don't believe the tour guides ever told us which one).  Railings to queue up for the Shanghai Expo. Presumably, this may have been at capacity at one point, but I had gotten there on one of the latter dates. Also, an old woman also rushed past me through a metal detector while I was about to go, but apparently, based on this thread, that was nothing out of the ordinary.  I have pictures of most of the booth exteriors (gently caress waiting in line longer than ones in Disney in 90 degree heat for a single exhibit) I thought this deserved special sharing  Also, who the gently caress drinks this on purpose? Since we were tourists as part o a group we also had to take obligatory tours of places that were air conditioned and hoped to sell us poo poo at cheap for American, but expensive for everyone else prices.   One was a Jade place on the way to the Great Wall   Another was a silk place  Took this after we docked after a river cruise. Those are the diving ducks that fishermen use. It's a pretty cool system.

I actually got super constipated or a minor impacted bowel when I went to China (which also resulted in runny stools) after a few days which also made it so eating more than a plate caused me to go to the throne. I was only aware of the underlying cause because once I got back to the states, I made a major push and there was a thick dry lump sitting in the toilet for me. Also, simplefish is right in some aspects, but also a whiny pissbaby.

There is a skill factor that determines pay. That is, labor intensive jobs also tend to be low skill and require little prior knowledge and training compared to other positions. It can be debated which job are or are not low skill. This is besides the point of the deflation of the value of most bachelors degrees though, but increasing access to education creates this as an unfortunate result
