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

2017-10-29 08:52:11 UTC  

Yup that's a long bus

2017-10-29 08:52:27 UTC  

would be nice considering how packed buses are now tbh

2017-10-29 11:48:25 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 11:48:31 UTC  

L U L

2017-10-29 14:25:39 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 14:25:52 UTC  

and im pretty sure all buses are capped here at that

2017-10-29 14:27:47 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 14:51:48 UTC  

thank god tbh

2017-10-29 14:52:19 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 14:52:44 UTC  

especially how asians go hard on the breaks

2017-10-29 15:10:24 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 18:51:58 UTC  

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

2017-10-29 19:52:23 UTC  

That looked more viable than this

2017-10-30 00:08:32 UTC  

well this is just a long bus

2017-10-30 00:08:54 UTC  

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

2017-10-30 00:19:46 UTC  

"especially how Asians go hard on the breaks"

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

2017-10-30 00:20:59 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 00:10:27 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 00:11:37 UTC  

@porco southern China Sea, also mine

2017-10-31 00:12:15 UTC  

Scary bit of land grab going on in that area

2017-10-31 00:12:52 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 01:47:11 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 04:38:20 UTC  

that's what they think

2017-10-31 08:45:44 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 11:56:22 UTC  

Min Nan still the preferred language outside of Taipei?

2017-10-31 13:19:42 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 13:20:32 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 15:08:42 UTC  

That's a stretch

2017-10-31 15:10:33 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 15:23:10 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 15:24:25 UTC  

it's generally considered a lot more casual

2017-10-31 15:26:04 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 15:31:05 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 15:32:26 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 20:12:05 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 20:12:46 UTC  

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

2017-10-31 20:13:06 UTC  

ji bai
