Mr. Fix It posted:i think it's fine to talk about cultural differences and one's experiences with them. i do think it's important to incorporate some humility into those stories and not paint with too broad a brush, tho. I think a lot of goons still have a bit of trauma from living and working overseas.

Wtfffff 蔥油餅沒有雞蛋. No ducking eggs in a scallion pancake. Everything else is right. And scallion pancakes better be made in a big pan so they can get a bit of extra surface area and have some fluffy air inside so you aren’t biting chewy dough all the time.

There’s also 煎餅果子. Which is stuffed with a bunch of things inside like peanuts , julienned scallions, thin paste of doubanjiang, fried crispy dough 油條, a freshly cracked egg to make the waffle have that egg springiness, and some other stuff. I’m not a northerner

bamhand posted:The HK ruling was unanimous. Are those judges going to get invited to attend a special summer camp on the mainland where they will voluntarily decide that it's so great there that they will stay forever? No need. NPSC reserves the right to issue an interpretation to protect national security and plug loopholes. Everything is working as intended. HK is a free society with rule of law. Guys there’s free tickets flying in. So please come visit, and maybe fly from HK to japan as a side trip.

It’s actually easier said than done but don’t gently caress up your relationships. And if your spouse/friend or whatever is not happy living overseas and feels alone; then be a better human being and make sure everyone’s happy. Especially with kids involved, Jesus ducking Christ

Charcoal burning is a very fun Chinese experience. Just ignore the warning signs when you buy a bag of charcoal. Please close your windows and doors, and burn a bag of charcoal when you fall asleep! It helps you relax and sleep forever and is a very time honored tradition

Maybe 2023 can make #8 happen? If your sister in laws and their kids stay in China forever and your brother “takes a rest” does that mean you are the sole beneficiary of his estate? You can spend his life savings for his sake. Instead of an expensive rare wood coffin, card board boxes is the environmentally friendly option! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

France breaks the trend because there’s state supported child rearing. Which gives parents not just an economic break, but rest. Since there’s already a paid care taker, why not have another kid? Abundance of olds and their related social welfare do take money from other government expenditures but that’s a symptom not a cause.

Omg Beijing transfer was super clowny, I had an hour for transfer because my flight incoming was late an hour. But the whole process is just everyone rushing you when there’s no need to rush. Yes hurry up and be nimble, but don’t panick for the sake of panicking. Gates never close on time in China. Uggghh Oh well least I didn’t need to kill time in Beijing airport.

It’s probably going to be ok?? But tepco is shady as gently caress, yes tritium released is within international organizational specifications, but are there other kinds meltdown contaminants released? Being tepco, the first batch of water released will be handled properly but after a while once the issue fades from public oversight, who the gently caress knows tepco will do.

The way tepco hired the cleanup crew was also another poo poo storm. Excerpts from this article quote:https://www.corpwatch.org/article/tokyo-electric-power-company-admits-fukushima-failures And then tepco got freaking bailed out by the government to keep on running its operations.

I’m not happy with Tepco, and there’s definitely room for more accountability in terms of environmental regulation and nuclear power in China. Nuclear power and renewables is the future instead of burning fossil fuels. There’s a lot of progress made when it comes to cleaning up rivers and climate change is forcing cities and municipalities here deal with flood control. I’m actually quite impressed with the improvements made over the years considering the rest of the world outsourced their pollution here (and still kinda do). Just let me drink tap water and ban more single used plastics

ronya posted:An interesting development: It’s not just golf course land though, there’s also some dilapidated seniors center which will get torn down. But the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club (yes royal because the crest is still inside the buildings but hidden) pays a symbolic $1 HKD per year. Golf is the easy target because it’s a former colonial institution and the government doesn’t want to go after sketchy brownfield sites occupied by villager squatters. But there’s another 9 hole golf course in the south HK island so the sport can still be around

Mons Hubris posted:I just left Beijing yesterday. Everything pretty much felt the same as I remembered in 2019. The only problem was we had a kid since then and we kept having to go to family dinners followed by my FIL’s friends taking us out, so I didn’t really get to do anything I actually wanted to do, and two year olds are really not equipped to handle the 3 hour private room dinners. We also had to go to Yangzhou for a weekend to visit a friend of my FIL’s and I swear to god we had the same dinner of boiled goose, lions head meatball, puffer fish, sea cucumber soup three nights in a row and I was starting to hope that they didn’t clean the puffer fish right and it would just kill me. If I post here enough, can I get my visa revoked? Too minor for China problems but have a good trip!
