two of today in Hualien

nice

taroko national park

the shrine was inaccessible due to maintenance work, which is really sad since it was one of my reasons to visit Hualien

more taroko

and some random stuff

@porco durian 🤢

durian is gud shit

i was impressed by the size

this is why I took the pic

like the panorama of the little shop with the steamers out in front

what they sell pork buns?

that's a breakfast shop. I don't know about China but in Taiwan they are everywere

that one specifically made pork buns, omlettes and toast

pretty cool,

we gonna do a day in hualien as well

china doesnt really do breakfast shops. i think most people either pick up some street food to eat on the bus

or make stuff at home

theres not really a culture of "lets go out to restauraunt to eat breakfast" really, as far as i see

>assbergus juice <:benis:239668961011040257>

Ebin

<:pepewot:327934404234313739>

Assburger juice in finland when???

did you try iron egg? it's tasty af

@kaetaa will you also go to Yilan?

if you go to Yilan, I can give you a nice list of POIs and a really really nice restaurant suggestion

chinanese is bloat3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWdEDH2Sjt0

Nah no yilan. It's a tight trip so just hualien Taipei khoasung and hunchen ( kenting)

why are u speaking chinese in latin alphabet

u have some sort of brain issue

Because Chinese is bloat

@kaetaa nice choices

remember to go see the whales in Hualien

26 letters > 200,000 characters tbh

do u ppl really live in china

i used to live in cambodia

but china is a clusterfuck of drunk white teachers

and actal profesionals

i dont know what i am

but id like to work for a time

Chinks don't exist

They are robots

Not being able to open their eyes properly is a manufacturing issue or a bug

Who knows <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

@Spungey if you are a high skilled professional in any computer science related topic, I suggest Taiwan

im not highly skilled

i just have a degree and a few years experience

:/

is taiwan like hong kong

in terms of culture

I deported myself for UKIP

Sad.

I feel Taiwan is more relaxed than hong Kong

my god spungey you are an insufferable cunt. you shit up the general chat and now you shit up this chat

@porco thanks man, we have a day tour planned for taroko gorge and other stuff, not sure if we will have time for whales. how would one go about doing that?

@kaetaa d-do you still like me?

kaetaa did you go to the retro games expo in HK?

@kaetaa call a taxi and tell him to stop at every whale tour company until you find one with a free place on the boat

the boats usually start all around 10:30 and you're done by about 12:30

the night market in Hualien is also worth a visit because it's completely different from other night markets of the country

Especially if you like street food

just make sure that it's not the only night market that you will visit in Taiwan because it's not a typical one

@install gentoo yeah

@plasticsword nah had no interest

@porco cheers

@porco what makes it different

@kaetaa#1570 usually night markets are not a tourist attraction. they're street markets during night time. mostly unregulated, chaotic, crowded and loud. But a nice source for great food and "weird" things. Also on big night markets in Taipei you'll find half of AliExpress being sold on the street. Hualien's night market is a tourist attraction. It's very regulated, streets are wide, 99% is food and there are singers and other performers to entertain. While it's more comfy, the regulation and organization let it lose a lot of actual night market spirit in my opinion

@kaetaa

woops my discord was hanging

also in Hualien many things are written in English and you will see many westerners

Also the Liyu lake if you want to have a romantic time with your gf and take a boat

wonderful country

dont fall for the sugary jew

D I A B E T I S

is this the new kit kat of flavours?

what was the light green one, mint?

It's "mildly sweet", because people here have a lower tolarance for sugar than the west

the original flavor is too sweet for some people, so they have the "mildly sweet" version

exactly @red

everything here is not so sweet compared to the western version

erhua was a mistake

i want to try feeding my family the type of cakes i ate in america

might need to prepare puke buckets

my gf doesn't eat any kind of western sweets. It's absolutely impossible to enjoy a piece of cake or similar with her in Europe. As soon as something contains sugar, she literally spits it out again instantly and says that it disgusts her

she says every sweet in Europe tastes the same because she's only able to taste the sugar

lmao

i used to be similar but america broke my tastebuds

tags: mindbreak

I won't force her because I like her skinny lmao

sugar was a mistake

Yeah China has all those Oreos too. Pretty tasty

I tried like honey caramel Pringles the other day

Disgusting

Caramel FUCKING PRINGLES?

WHAT

If sugar cane can't grow in the area then the people won't love sugar. Something like that.

used to have sugar cane juice all the time as a kid so i dunno about that

pretty sure sugarcane is also native to asia

sugarbloat

yes sugar cane juice is sold at every corner

also northern europe sweets are really sweet and they don't have sugar canes natively

that plebbitor tho says he goes to beijing, which is basically the zerg mothership of chinklings. metropolitan people are always like that. lefty joe rogan says like we're made to live in a community of up to 500 people.

well except New York which is so multi-cultural and multi-racial that it makes an low-trust community on top of a metropolis

Dont buy that, relatively large communities like in Switzerland and Japan can get away with not much zerg behaviour

Not major metros but definutly larger than 500

@johnfrum actually Switzerland is a prime example if you compare Zurich which is big and full of rude people, to small mountain villages

I have lived in a tiny village in Glarus for 5 years before moving to Zurich and I was shocked af

people in Zurich don't greet each other, not even neighbours. I don't know half of my neighbours. In Glarus I was on a first name basis with the whole village

Isn't that normal for cities?

Chinese people only care about themselves and their circle. Everyone else can fuck right off, they are garbage

If you see people as garbage you wouldn't mind cutting them in line, or hit and running, or scamming

The Chinese people reckon themselves very charitable. Anytime I ask chinks about charity they always say "I don't help or give anything but China does they help Africa alot"

Which they mean Chinese are in Africa building a lot of roads and shit (for profit, not charity)

Even if you arent religious, I believe a lot of China problems are because they are the most irreligious people in the world. The cultural revolution has ruined this country in every way.

I have to spend the day with my future chink mother in law tomorrow alone

Going to be hecka weird

To be fair who gives a fuck about charity to other countries?

dirty communists

charity to other countries is a mistake

everyone should fix his own shit

and china has way enough shit to fix before remotely considering fixing shit of others

It's not charity though

>pass by seafood restaurant
>old man slaughtering eels
>take a look
>he cuts the head off
>cuts eel in a half
>removes the organs and spine
>gf gets out of toilet
>walk away with her
>dude realizes im not watching anymore
>still can see him
>he now cuts them alive before removing the head

stay chinky

fugggg

mandarin was a mistake

Yes

It is blot

@porco mate that's a great story haha

@porco but also kind of frightening because it means he knows that gutting them alive is kind of fucked haha

wei, don't cutting like that! laowai no like!

ikea hot dogs in Taiwan look and taste totally different from the European Ikeas

I don't like them so much

Maybe they use different "meat"

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

meat from aliexpress

you mean literally hot dog?

I saw that

yes but my face was visible in the mirror image

so I DELET

Kaohsiung metro warnings look like straight outta /g/

<:thinkjojo:333980344044879872>

God damn I want to fuck these signs

Post your face @porco I bet ur cute

I'll be in Taiwan in 2 weeks wait for me

lmao

I will still be in Taiwan in 2 weeks

want to meet up?

csg orgy when

@HEKTIK when real life anime sex robots exist

@kaetaa if you tell me the dates and the cities, I can see if something overlaps and maybe we can go altogether (you'll be with your gf right? I'll be with mine) for a snack on the night market

@porco fuckin lmao @ da japanese sounds

Japanese = bloat

Yeah dude we arrive in khaosung sep 3

sep 3 - 5 I'll be in Tainan, then 5 - 9 in Taipei, then my trip is over :(

two laowais and their chink gfs

ADVchinkshit when?

you have to agree on who is the serious balding guy in the suit and who is the trying-to-stay young guy with the """fashionable"""" haircut

I actually think we will be in Taipei at that time too!

I'm definitely the balding guy

@porco where r u from

@kaetaa originally from Italy but I live in Switzerland. you?

God I wanna fuck that sign

I'm from USA, but live in China last 1.5 year

hi laowhy86

I'm fat American and my fiancee is stinky chinky

Switzerland looks incredible. Constantly on high quality of life living charts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcRs7H0IQdE found this by looking for laowhy86 kek

and no it's not pol related. pic caught my attention (well it kinda is for the mixed babby part)

but the guy is wrong. I know when my bro got his babby-kid. it's extremely stressing and tiring, hearing your wife scream, no sleep etc.

Anyone got a taste of the typhoon that was in guandong area?

HK/guangdong

@plasticsword I had when it was in Taiwan, just some wind / rain

prozzie is a homo?

http://www.arima-gh.jp/wp-content/themes/arima/images/img-launcher-room-02.jpg how high are chink and jap rooms? I'm a big guy

@Humbert They're not gnomes.

You'll be fine.

I can't jump in the house of my chink's parents or I will hurt myself (6 ft)

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

us non-manlets must feel like Gandalf going inside a Hobbit house

Chink houses are fine. The ones in my city have normal high ceilings. Jap doorways can be a little small, and they are very small inside.

But the ceiling is normal usually

^

Toilets are pretty small

I'm 190cm so some places in Japan I had trouble

But it's not that bad really

It's nice when they have that rod they insert that sprays water though. 👍

Yeah Japan was awesome

Way better than China in literally almost every way

I'd go back, for sure, with the right company.

Sadly I'm not a weeb, so I have no motivation to go on my own.

I'm not a weeb either but I more align with jap culture

I don't align with chink culture cause I'm not a degenerate alcoholic

<:chink:323022148870602752>

I found out I make more money than my fiancee dad who is 60 and has been working same company almost 40 years

How are you going to show loyalty to your employer if not by putting in 200 hours per week, and drinking yourself into oblivion?

Luckily , I think expats in Japan are exempt to this nonsense

It's mostly expected of locals

I'll admit, the work culture in China for expats is pretty lax. I barely work and get paid more than most people

They pay us more because they know it sucks haha

kek

A chink manager at my company said they have to trick people to come to China because it's so hard to get teachers

50% of them leave before their contract ends

And hard enough to get people to apply. They spend loads of money trying to get people over

Huh. On t'internet it seems like going to China is popular as all hell.

It's a massive country

Then again, "they" have a vested interest in making it seem attractive.

True.

Apparently you're treated like shit in JP though, since that place really is popular.

Yeah I can imagine

In China, you seriously can be total shit at your job

Total job security

They never fire people

The new school year starts on Sept 1st here

And the job boards are freaking out looking for foreign teachers

Fucking 2 weeks before

I'd go, but I'm starting uni on monday. 😄

To become a teacher. <:thonk:288060975775612929>

Whyyyy

Do something useful like women's studies

I would, but I don't hate myself quite enough just yet.

Maybe at a future date.

@porco whats the image of

@Joldberg fo guan shan, kaohsiung

@kaetaa do they do math in chinese?

also @kaetaa if you go to fo guan shan, don't bother with a bus. taxi from the HSR station is 600 nt$ total and you can easily find a bunch of tourists to share it with. drive time is half than with the bus

also don't get MRT cards from the station, get a prepaid card from 7-11 so you can have a themed one with anime girls on it

my gf is super ashamed when I take the MRT card out

she knows your power level?

can't hide it if you live together

@porco good tips, will def do that. I want that anime card bad

@porco is your gf chink too? Or beautiful Switzerland masterrace?

@kaetaa taiwan chink

i am imagining two tall white people in a chinese subway awkwardly showing each other their anime metro cards while their girlfriends talk chink to each other about how ashamed they are

"w-wanna see my cute girl metro card?"
"haha, w-where did you get that?"
