who's the copypasta guy?
did I miss a meme?
i presume the one about the industrial steel
ah the steel dude
@transience Mandarin is also lingua franca in itself in taiwan
You knew what i meant
no i didnt
it depends where
my girlfriend's father can't speak Mandarin at all
They won't send you to mainland if you don't know how to read there
traditional exclusively refers to the characters
it's got nothing to do with the spoken language
he only speaks Min Nan
and he is disappointed that I'm investing so many resources in learning Mandarin instead of Min Nan
Did you watch Hangover 2?
With the Thai father?
That's our relationship more or less
😦

chinese people are homosex
weeeeeeew
Chinese girls are the reason to live. Chinese girls are the reason that I wake up in the morning and do my best to be a successful and functioning member of society
@transience no offense
I'm not offended at all tbh
I prefer to focus on myself for now and sort that out later
Problem: chink is unhappy that she can't visit her family for CNY because she has exams. Should I:
a) surprise her with taking her to a Chinese social event nearby that has some weird concerts on CNY night, one of the singer is even Taiwanese
b) invite some of her chink friends who can't go back either, to our home, cook altogether and have a CNY stlye dinner here
or another suggestion?
give her a red packet
yes that, too
chink should be happy with money
that's all you need
I have a few Taiwan dollar left from last holiday and I will give it to her with some of those weird envelopes from the China shop
b + red packet
do taiwan celebrate chinese new year?
who else celebrate chinese new year except chinks
Korea
if you mean the lunar new year, then I think viets celebrate it too
thank you for the input
I will invite her friends + red packet
So for mainland Chinese New year traditions there aren't many. Pop fireworks, eat a lot of food, give money to kids in red envelopes
