Chinese Uber (didi) is much better, but you need good Chinese skills to do it

2017-09-21 16:00:21 UTC

They always insist on talking to you on phone

2017-09-21 16:00:34 UTC

wonder why

2017-09-21 16:00:43 UTC

And it's more expensive than taxis

2017-09-21 16:00:48 UTC

I don't know. It's always like that

2017-09-21 16:00:56 UTC

Food delivery, post, Uber

2017-09-21 16:01:00 UTC

They always want to call

2017-09-21 16:01:02 UTC

And talk

2017-09-21 16:01:05 UTC

moer expensive than taxis? even possible?

2017-09-21 16:01:14 UTC

Yeah it's true

2017-09-21 16:01:20 UTC

The taxis here are quite cheap

2017-09-21 16:01:35 UTC

although it really is weird

2017-09-21 16:01:55 UTC

taxis in korea are cheap-ish, supposedly, but in japan they're literally your last resort

2017-09-21 16:05:19 UTC

Yeah Tokyo is crazy expensive

2017-09-21 16:05:45 UTC

The base fare there was like 8 usd

2017-09-21 16:05:55 UTC

Base fare in my city is less than 1.50 usd

2017-09-21 16:06:12 UTC

But they are insane drivers and aren't often that kind

2017-09-21 16:06:19 UTC

The Uber drivers are much better

2017-09-21 16:06:25 UTC

And their cars are actually comfortable

2017-09-21 16:06:43 UTC

And they drive way safer

2017-09-21 16:07:03 UTC

I think it's worth the extra money but you have to wait like 5 to 10 minutes for them to come

2017-09-21 16:07:10 UTC

Where taxis are usually instant

2017-09-21 16:27:32 UTC

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

2017-09-21 23:02:57 UTC

taxis beep at you even if you don't want to ride

2017-09-21 23:35:58 UTC

Only to hit on your sexy ass.

2017-09-22 06:26:13 UTC

TFW go to the taxi drop off point instead of waiting in line at taxi stand for a taxi

2017-09-22 12:20:49 UTC

I've considered doing this haha

2017-09-22 12:35:53 UTC

in Taiwan they tell you to wait

2017-09-22 12:36:06 UTC

"You can't get in here, look, people are waiting over there"

2017-09-22 12:36:38 UTC

except for Taipei

2017-09-22 12:45:41 UTC

the secret is not do it at the exact bit but the road they turn to, to get to the main road

2017-09-22 16:28:54 UTC
2017-09-22 16:30:05 UTC

always visit this indonesian diner. looks totally run down and the menu display hasn't been cleaned in years but they have great food

2017-09-22 17:56:38 UTC

Chink food is overrated, sopping in oil and with boney meat

2017-09-22 17:59:57 UTC

Yeah that's true

2017-09-22 18:00:05 UTC

If you say you don't like bones they call you lazy

2017-09-22 18:00:28 UTC

All chink food is super heavy. Hard to get a light meal

2017-09-22 18:00:39 UTC

Like a nice salad or sandwich

2017-09-22 18:40:30 UTC

I've heard some regions are lighter but most food is just a mess. Not bad tasting but so much fucking oil

2017-09-22 19:52:50 UTC

implying thats a bad thing

2017-09-22 20:18:37 UTC

why does this place sound more racist here than it did months ago

2017-09-22 20:18:54 UTC

i am not saying you guys are racist btw it literally just... sounds racist

2017-09-22 20:33:25 UTC

Dealing with chinks takes it's toll.

2017-09-22 21:32:52 UTC

<:futhink:326408752754458634>

2017-09-22 21:33:36 UTC

When they deliver me my orders in set time, not 3 months later, I wont be racist

2017-09-22 21:35:05 UTC

Until then, chinks deserve all disputes that are put against them

2017-09-23 00:00:39 UTC

chink food is the worst asian food tbh

2017-09-23 00:02:10 UTC

Depends on region, but I think Korean food is pretty boring outside of novel preparation and Japanese food is pretty overrated too.

2017-09-23 00:03:46 UTC

sushi and miso stuff is comfy soul food

2017-09-23 00:04:36 UTC

chinese food mostly is rather bland, can only speak for northern china though

2017-09-23 00:41:26 UTC

japanese > chinese = korean >>>> SEA > Indian

2017-09-23 01:28:45 UTC

Chinese food is pretty good, but not the northern type

2017-09-23 01:33:33 UTC

For the basics like miso soup and stuff the japs are pretty good but the curry is kind if lacking.

2017-09-23 01:36:23 UTC

That's kind if everywhere not SEA and India though, there is a very specific idea what curry should taste like and China, Korea and Japan all seem to pretty much agree on it so at least the commercialized variant is lacking.

2017-09-23 01:39:03 UTC

I actually prefer northern chink food to southern

2017-09-23 01:39:38 UTC

This place isn't racist, but @johnfrum is right..dealing with chinks has taken its toll on me.

2017-09-23 01:40:30 UTC

When you have to deal with them everyday, it gets exhausting. Imagine living in a society where everyone is trying to scam you and nobody cares about each other even through common courtesy

2017-09-23 01:40:41 UTC

Having to deal with their lack of logic and common sense

2017-09-23 01:40:54 UTC

The cabbie who shoved a cig in your mouth seemed like a nice bloke

2017-09-23 01:41:27 UTC

Haha he wasn't terrible, just a little shady. While he himself was ok, I think his cab was a fake

2017-09-23 01:41:57 UTC

No ID all over it. Like he was driving for someone else. He didn't know how to drive properly like the basics. As if it was his first day learning as a 16 year old

2017-09-23 01:42:35 UTC

That's what I mean by not racist. Of course there are nice Chinese, but it's such a small percentage and they are mostly younger

2017-09-23 01:42:56 UTC

It's impossible for me to make Chinese friends

2017-09-23 01:43:01 UTC

I've tried so hard

2017-09-23 01:43:20 UTC

But it's hard to be friends with people who don't share same values

2017-09-23 01:43:26 UTC

I imagine it will work out eventually after everyone is tired of the vanity games.

2017-09-23 01:43:33 UTC

In like a social sense.

2017-09-23 01:43:41 UTC

Yeah hopefully

2017-09-23 01:43:57 UTC

Once the bubble bursts and all the rich chinks leave China

2017-09-23 01:44:13 UTC

I'm excited to see how China deals with it.

2017-09-23 01:44:53 UTC

My coworker makes 3000 RMB a month. She told me she can't wait for the new iPhone , which is triple her monthly salary

2017-09-23 01:45:02 UTC

I said why would you want that?

2017-09-23 01:45:27 UTC

She said she lives with her mom (she's 34) and has no bills so it's np

2017-09-23 01:45:46 UTC

All of my co-workers live with their parents and they pretty much control their lives.

2017-09-23 01:46:28 UTC

Chink parents are what ruin the young ones. They "force" them to do stuff they don't want to do because Chinese mom's never shut the fuck up

2017-09-23 01:46:47 UTC

If a chink mom wants her daughter to get married, she will berate and badger the daughter everyday for years until it happens

2017-09-23 01:46:59 UTC

They think they are motivating them, but in reality they are breaking them down

2017-09-23 01:47:10 UTC

So people get married young to people they don't like...and then they cheat

2017-09-23 01:47:30 UTC

Most chink cheats on their spouse.

2017-09-23 01:47:36 UTC

Well the pendulum will probably swing the other way. Wonder what Chinese punk will sound like.

2017-09-23 01:48:22 UTC

Hope the sample some sick throat singing from the steppe region

2017-09-23 01:48:49 UTC

I'm sure it exists somewhere

2017-09-23 01:52:10 UTC

Seems extended adolescence is the way things are moving forward these days though. Other side of the coin in regards to familial relations of Chinese nagging is Western apathy.

Honestly the cheating probably isn't new, just the internet made it easier/ a better news story.

2017-09-23 01:59:52 UTC

Yeah I know, but being here I hear more stories about it

2017-09-23 02:00:04 UTC

Chinese people tell me they'd rather cheat over and over than get divorced

2017-09-23 02:00:37 UTC

Because they won't get caught cheating , but when their mom finds out they get divorced, they will never hear the end of it hahs

2017-09-23 02:00:48 UTC

This is the problem when a society doesn't have shame

2017-09-23 02:06:03 UTC

Or a rather peculiar concept of shame

2017-09-23 03:30:04 UTC

I said she should be too at home to help the kid

2017-09-23 03:30:10 UTC

And she couldn't understand the correlation

2017-09-23 04:39:06 UTC

so tiger moms were just an urban myth?

2017-09-23 04:39:16 UTC

next time ask if you have permission to hit them

2017-09-23 05:31:33 UTC

The parents here only discipline their kids when it comes to grades

2017-09-23 05:31:43 UTC

Common decency and life skills is not their concern

2017-09-23 05:33:31 UTC

If the kids are misbehaving in class, it's the teachers fault

2017-09-23 05:33:31 UTC

Wonder why they haven't implemented conscription, seems to kind of sort out Koreans. But then again they hate it too.

2017-09-23 07:44:01 UTC

... so how do you guys feel about foreign nationals in America or other western nations having the same feelings about poorly educated and racist Americans and bad mouthing them on their own forums? Do you feel they're justified in creating their own enclaves and safe spaces for their own kind in a nation that doesn't "belong" to them?

2017-09-23 07:45:10 UTC

There's nothing particularly Chinese about the problems you're pointing out.. those are problems common to humans.

2017-09-23 07:46:41 UTC

Expats settle overseas and make english-only sectors with their own businesses that don't really welcome the locals... and it's all fine and dandy for some reason

2017-09-23 07:46:42 UTC

I'll badmouth whoever I want.
