what's the mandarin to cantonese ratio there from your experience? <:thonk:288060975775612929>

Like the whole country ?

It seems like most people who are local speak cantonese. The younger people speaking both

I don't have much experience I've been here for 2 days haha

heard it's pretty chaotic there, even for china?

how's it like compared to that tier 2 city you lived in?

Haha in the area we are in id agree there is a fuckton of people

Doesn't taste great. Just basic poor people food

>bombed tilings

I couldn't eat there without judging the owner into oblivion

Most of China looks like this. You get used to it

We usually eat in the nicer places but meh

Its interesting. On our walk back we walked past a street that had 20 shops with air conditioning stuff

Components, repairs, systems etc

And then the next street was a rare currency street with 20 shops

Bunch of old currency from China etc

It's always like that. A whole street dedicated to one thing , but they all sell the same stuff

My old city had a wig and hair street. Bunch of barbers and wig sellers

So I'm assuming that one shop opens，is successful, then a bunch of copycats open up shop right next door

I mean it's bizarre like 10 shops in a row that all look almost identical

Comparing Guangzhou to the tier 3 city I live in now is pretty different ,but from an outsider it's the same. I think the quality of people in tier 1 cities is higher in general. Less honking, a little cleaner overall, nicer customer service

Don't get me wrong, the bad stuff is still there, but it is significantly less.

Much more bearable

In our city, the store clerk's just throw stuff at you and yell constantly

I already judge poorfags here for not keeping their shit together in front of their houses.

Oh man you'd hate China then hahaha

Everything is a fucking mess. Most of the smaller stores just look like storage containers full of shit

And the owner has to dig through piles to get what u want

Need to learn a similar expression like "The entrance of your house is like the entrance to your mind" in Chinese before visiting

If I don't like it, at least I can sperg out then

Haha they only understand confuscious and Marx idioms

Although Chinese is shit imo
Korean and Japanese seem far more similar to German

Oh I read Marx

They'll like me for sure

I just feel that trying to get chinese people to understand expressions will just make you more miserable when you realise how futile it is

the ones that you take an issue with are probably gonna be stubborn as hell

Nice

If everything fails I just give them a bible
