Australian? We do it too

im europe

not brit

Just don't actually go whoring and you'll be fine.

I jus visited Thailand in October

And it does have it's problems but it's a million times better than China

Just in terms of livability to begin with

Do half the chicks have dicks tho

I didn't check

Awh

I also don't travel to places according to that

Taiwan is also good. If you like Chinese culture go to Taiwan, not China

It's a reason to stay away for me lmao

Taiwan looks good

I didn't see any obvious lady boys. But I wasn't really in the sex areas

Yeah o traveled all over Taiwan , it's incredible. The people are so much better than mainlanders

Don't think I'm exaggerating

You could only understand if you lived and worked in mainland china

I've heard they're much like Japanese, foreigner hating kinda culture

Most don't care, I imagine as long as a tourist isn't actively fucking up thier day.

I don't know why people think Japanese are like that. I've been to Japan a lot, lived there in uni, and made friends with many japs young and old and never felt that way

At the worst, some of the people were apathetic

For the most part they see foreigners as just people like them. In China, foreigners are a whole different species

Never got that impression either. Nobody that's been to Japan that I've talked to, read, or watched has attested to that stereotype.

They always seem like a pretty nice people, if not occasionally surprised by the appearance of a foreigner in the extremely homogeneous rural areas.

Taiwan #1
Japan #2

Japanese do not see foreigners as people like them

lol

They're better in holding in their contempt

you can think that all you want, but in my experience with dealing with actual people from japan, ive never seen it - im sure some do

comparing japan to china, japan is a fucking oasis wonderland

grow weed, china/taiwan have perfect weather for it

@plasticsword

>grow weed

>china

Are you fucking serious

You know they have a death penalty for dealers right?

ye they do

you see posters at the borders

well you grow it for your own use and dont tell nobody

like a basil garden

True I guess

Still I'd be worries about someone snitching

Which they will, because it’s China and people fuck each other over for no reason. It’s like everywhere else but worse.

Grow onions, not weed

China where if you run someone over it's cheaper to go back and finish the job than to deal with being sued

I don't think i'd even dare attempt to grow weed there

I heard most police can't even identify it cause they never seen it

If you don't sell it you probably won't get caught, tbh

hmmm

🤔

serpentza is a faggot

serpentza is a living meme and a gentleman

@fedora is basically finnish serpentza, wearing suits to impress sami girls

This!

I should buy a suit

Yes.

Taiwanese meetup attempt #2 when

Are you in Taiwan @transience ?

I will be in Taiwan again in January

I wish

Just come to Taiwan then

Always remember Taiwan #1

china is worth a visit for sure, but dont live here

Considering teaching in China for a while after I get my teaching degree. I'm assuming said degree will earn me significantly more perks than just any old English teaching pleb would have.

Im pretty sure all teachers need a degree

^

So they have services where you can pay white people to sit exams for you

Because the chinks can hire chinks to do that

@plasticsword I mean an actual degree, not some shitty TEFL 3 week course certificate.

Any degree?

So you can have a degree in sports science and teach English in China? <:thonk:288060975775612929>

i heard that russians who barely talk english teach it in china

so i guess

Just look remotely English and you'll be fine

yeah any degree is fine

if you have a teacher degree, then yes, that opens more options to you. you can teach at the posh international schools

which is more pay and a bit more legitimate

if you want a teaching job in china - and you have a degree (in anything) I can get you an interview tomorrow and on a plane by next week

china is DESPERATE for teachers because everyone fucks off after 1 week

so dont think you dont qualify. If you are from a native english speaking country, and you have a degree, done. job.

if you ARENT from a native english speaking country, and have a degree, you can still get work, but are limited in where in china you can work

if you arent from a native english speaking country and you dont have a degree, you can STILL get work in china - but it wont be legal or legitimate

White? Instant hire. Anything else? Semi-instant hire.

you'll have more issues with an asian face than you would with a black face

but its not impossible, seriously. i work with asian face americans and black face africans. they are so desperate for literally anybody

No credit checks, no drug screenings, nothing.

Maybe I'm putting too much stock in that rating shit the Chinagov put out... last year?

i havent heard anything about it since

Where they noted that you got certain points for filling certain criteria, such as working in an unattractive city etc.

they just like to make new shit up but never follows through

Makes sense. Totally in line with what I've come to expect from Cheena.

when do u graduate

Ages from now. :+1:

5 years from now, essentially.

dutch? hmm that may be difficult

>I am of above average intelligence
<:thonk:288060975775612929>

Try to say you are smarter than others without sounding like an obnoxious cunt on the internet. It is impossible.

@Deleted User You'll be able to land a job as a English teacher

in several countries

I guess pay is not that great then ?

murican english teacher in korea I knew made around 2k usd per month

not much

Ah that is not very enticing

Depends. Some positions come with accommodations and such.

Do whites also work as liasion there ? To communicate with western businessmen for example? I have decent "people skills" and if could help overcome cultural barriers that seems like a valuable skill in business/marketing

@Deleted User You can get by and you'll get paid more than locals

also yes they do have liasons but they usually speak the language of the country

I'd imagine those are in short supply though.

What would you have in expendable income with a job like that ?

I have no problems with learning some Chinese/korean/whatever for 6 months or something

@Deleted User short supply yes but you need really get the language down to land a job like that

you can work for foreign embassy's as a translator/liason

easier route is to teach english in the ASIA or even ASEAN but the whole liason thing pays a great deal better

How much better than 2000 a month ?

A lot

because you're getting paid a regular salary for said country

say you work for a Dutch embassy in Korea

then your pay is based on your country's norms etc

I am not interested in embassy work. That would be around ~3500 a month I think. These positions are almost all occupied by students from one particular university and a bunch of homosexual lovers to the plethora of gay ambassadors/various deputies

And before you ask, I qualify for neither

start now

Best country to go to ?

And most money to make where ?

>I want to make the most money possible
>But I don't want to put in the required work to do so

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

have fun working for peanuts as a english teach then

start being gay

@Deleted User how old are you?

then I suggest you don't throw numbers around but just pick a country of your liking, a job that seems exciting and go have fun abroad for a few years without caring too much about finance

>tfw I'm investing a lot of time and energy in learning Chinese, so I can move to Taiwan where I will probably not even earn 1/4 of what I earn here

happiness is not exclusively about money, although money is a factor

Ah I am not in a position to just "go have fun"

And investing a lot of time for a comparatively meagre reward is not something that intend to do either. I guess I'll just stow this plan away for the time being and see where I end up

you most probably have your reasons. But if I may share, I spent my past years in building up my career and now I regret that I didn't just go have fun a while longer instead

I try to find that fine line between full time career building (which I am doing now) and enjoying a decent life. The how and where to do so is not yet set in stone however

Sooner or later you would want to build anyway. So if I were you I'd have no regrets, unless you feel like you wasted your youth

Well I think life is about doing things you would enjoy, which is why I wouldn't recommend going to china

@Deleted User of course, what I wanted to say is, later is better than sooner. Once you're in your career, you can't just say "I'll go to China for a year". Now, you (probably?) can

I agree with porcorosso, working abroad doesn't always make big bucks unless you get connections before you go, or work your way around once you are there

its mostly for the adventure

the people making real money abroad work for a company in their home country already (IE. I'm american, and if I work for an american firm who wants to open business in china)

if you want money, stay put. maybe look for jobs before you go.

Just win the lottery mens

i was told in Taiwan they have a government lottery thing for whenever you buy shit

In America they do also but the prize is getting shot

And in Sweden your wife gets impregnated by a migrant

Nice.

In Taiwan, the receipt lottery system is funded by extreme taxation of the 'wealthy'. as well as charging high fees to businesses that agree to use the national receipt system

Many vendors offer to sell you things without the receipt in exchange for a 10% discount approximate

the Taiwanese receipt lottery was also a way to prevent tax evasion

customers will want the receipt, the numbers are tracked

if you win the government lottery and the receipt number has not been registered by the business, the transaction was a tax evasion

Interesting.

I won 200 nt$ in that lottery last time, by buying a 30 nt$ snack in 7-11

@porco nice and a clever way to battle tax evasion too

"A dinosaur from China sported a "bandit mask" pattern in the feathers on its face, scientists have said."

This makes sense.

Thievy prehistoric chinks

Even the Chinasaurs, man...

if you really like a Chinese girl, call her 花心 (huaxin, flower heart) - it's a very kind compliment about her personality

D O U B T

Why would he lie lol

exactly. if a girl has a flower heart, how could it ever be something bad?

I hate the internet

but really have you ever seen such a beautiful word for slut? Chinese truly is the most poetic language

@porco cheeky

ikr

Seriously

Seriously

I remember yuuuu

I get that reference

why would anyone want to steal serpentza's video

@transience that is fucking stupid. education = fair use

to be fair, the chinks don't give a shit if it's fair or not

but yes I don't see what's particularly bad

is prozzie jelly cause he will always be in Winston's shadow

With a name like that, you could be forgiven for not thinking he has much value in society.

Wow. Buses. Nice invention. Go China. 🇨🇳 #⃣1⃣ <:chink:323022148870602752>

Yup that's a long bus

would be nice considering how packed buses are now tbh

Not just *a* bus, a bus that's capped at 45 miles per hour.

L U L

buses in china rarely go above 20 mph lol too much traffic and shit driving

and im pretty sure all buses are capped here at that

aren't buses capped everywhere? In Zurich they're capped to 50 km/h

thank god tbh

going that fucking fast when you're squished together like sardines is not fun

especially how asians go hard on the breaks

Polish buses go at like 75km/h tops on longer roads

@NoFunAllowed I bet this is yet another another funding scheme like that high rise bus that would driver over traffic

That looked more viable than this

well this is just a long bus

the only problem is bus stations aren't built for this

"especially how Asians go hard on the breaks"

Holy shit there's an Asian bus driver here who does exactly that

He's on time though because of how fast he goes so shrug

triggered

if Taiwan isn't China then why do they speak Chinese?

@porco southern China Sea, also mine

Scary bit of land grab going on in that area

With chinks hogging up islands, expanding them to house military bases

USA speaks English, doesn't mean they are from England.

that's what they think

You don't hear much Chinese on the streets in Taiwan, especially in the South and East @plasticsword

Min Nan still the preferred language outside of Taipei?

By far. My girlfriend's parents don't even speak proper Mandarin

But they live in the middle of nowhere so I don't know if that counts

That's a stretch

I've only met 1 or 2 families who still speak min nan from Taiwan.

almost everyone i know here knows how to speak taiwanese/minnan

it's generally considered a lot more casual

though it can just depend on whatever both parties feel like, i've heard it used in many different settings

certain politicians that want to appear more "taiwanese" will use taiwanese in speeches

as with @porco said, if you go south of taipei, taiwanese will be used more and more until it's just what people will assume you'll use by default

I wish there was a nice resource to learn min nan / Taiwanese from English

it's a beautiful language and I only know a handful of insults

ji bai

kan ni na

pua ma :D

only words I know

does someone have the big china steel greentext

this one?

aye, thanks

np

a friend mentioned intentions to work in the car industry in china

so i had to tell him

Oh my god

I hadn't read that before

Holy shit <:thinkjojo:333980344044879872>

I knew China was fucked but holy damn

i love that greentexrt

everytime i read that greentext its more relevant

It's true

Too much reckless abandon for short term individual gain

Likewise I've had Chinese bosses in the US who got out of the rat race in China, set up shop in the US

and continued their fraud practices

Usually talking up a good game, making one sample, then a solid second order

Third order is a container, in which they've cozied up, and they'll pay later via invoice

Get the goods, sold, never pay for the third order which was the container load, claiming the items were defective or etc

They got the money selling the otherwise functional items from retail, the producers in China were fucked, and likewise cycles down etc etc

Vice versa my current bosses are Chinese, and operated a shop in the US. Only inspected a few times, but had Chinese managers

Because the bosses no basis or background of running a business, they let the suave managers run the show without an accounting system

About $100,000 stolen later, they wise up and fire the Chinese managers and so on
