Except for mooncakes but eggs aren't really meat

2017-09-04 17:49:13 UTC  

I liked it with rice

2017-09-04 17:49:17 UTC  

or on a bun

2017-09-04 17:49:24 UTC  

or sandwich

2017-09-05 02:20:18 UTC  

Yeah I'm not a fan of pork floss

2017-09-05 02:36:05 UTC  

most taxi drivers in guangdong are from sichuan/southwest china and will rip you off with a sped up meter or just hidden fees

2017-09-05 02:36:51 UTC  

I was referred to an uber like service by friends, and for the most part, those drivers are slightly better than the crooks in cabs

2017-09-05 02:45:56 UTC  

I don't trust uber in any Asian country, especially not when being with an Asian girl and all locals looking at me as if I was some kind of criminal because of that

2017-09-05 02:46:13 UTC  

getting into a stranger's car simply sounds like trouble

2017-09-05 02:59:11 UTC  

The Uber rip off in China is called didi, and they've been pretty reliable

2017-09-05 02:59:25 UTC  

Nicer cars, better drivers, just a little more expensive then taxi

2017-09-05 02:59:29 UTC  

In my city at least

2017-09-05 03:00:00 UTC  

Didi bought uberchina

2017-09-05 03:00:12 UTC  

Which is another example of bad guys winning, like segway

2017-09-05 03:07:53 UTC  

Innovate thing comes out, China rips it, innovative thing comes to China and makes it hard for them to do business because of government , China rip buys them, China business wins

2017-09-05 03:08:23 UTC  

The government rigs how they make money, they brag about how big Chinese companies are but it's because they eliminate the competition

2017-09-05 03:08:33 UTC  

Either by blocking it completely, or making it jump thru hoops

2017-09-05 03:34:40 UTC  

From their perspective, it's not bad

2017-09-05 03:44:50 UTC  

This, companies will do anything to even get a part of China's market, they know full well they'll probably be fucked long term but even for a brief moment and then a bit out they would have made more than ignoring the market.

Fairness doesn't apply to chink business practices.

2017-09-05 04:22:16 UTC  

Baidu is only a competitor cause google can't do business here

2017-09-05 04:25:42 UTC  

And nothing is intrinsically wrong about that.

2017-09-05 04:41:11 UTC  

ye pretty smart tbh

2017-09-05 04:41:39 UTC  

it makes me laugh that bing can't even compete against baidu

2017-09-05 04:41:51 UTC  

bing is so shit

2017-09-05 04:47:38 UTC  

I've never used Baidu but is it true that it is more so a hotlinks aggregator and index than a search engine? (For censorship of course)

2017-09-05 06:31:41 UTC  

Huh, would think the locals would have parted it out for scrap by now

2017-09-05 06:42:13 UTC  

probably the few disaster tourists bring more than that bit of copper

2017-09-05 08:20:54 UTC  

that landscape is gorgeous

2017-09-05 10:10:51 UTC  

holy moly

2017-09-05 10:10:54 UTC  

what a time to be alive

2017-09-05 11:51:51 UTC

Spent 4 hours scootering around south Taiwan

2017-09-05 12:10:46 UTC

2017-09-05 12:24:03 UTC  

It was breathtaking at times
