yes, mostly i can avoid them. they often dont react if you show no sign of knowing them

2017-08-18 14:39:07 UTC  

she didnt give me the choice though

2017-08-18 14:40:44 UTC  

but honestly, there were quite some questions racing through my head that would be fine to ask in the anonimity of the web

2017-08-18 14:40:54 UTC  

but would have made myself cringe in person

2017-08-18 14:41:09 UTC  

"d-do you have anything from xiaomi?"

2017-08-18 14:42:44 UTC  

if shes your average roastie, i guarantee you she probably got no cultural gains there

2017-08-18 14:42:56 UTC  

i have some coworkers who have been here for a year and a half and can speak no chinese

2017-08-18 14:43:01 UTC

2017-08-18 14:43:12 UTC

2017-08-18 14:44:01 UTC

2017-08-18 14:55:38 UTC  

she was/is a language teacher and knew chinese before she went there. probably got a really good job offer

2017-08-18 14:56:43 UTC  

first thing I learned in Mandarin was "eat shit"

2017-08-18 15:02:21 UTC  

learning chinese was where it all went wrong

2017-08-18 15:10:17 UTC

2017-08-18 15:22:16 UTC

2017-08-18 15:24:05 UTC  

I'd expect taiwanese to be a bit more stringent than mainland chinks

2017-08-18 16:06:21 UTC  

Is it even honey though, not sure

2017-08-18 16:06:41 UTC  

Yellow sugary paste, same ding

2017-08-18 16:07:15 UTC  

Oh it's Taiwan, guess it could be, dunno

2017-08-18 16:21:09 UTC

2017-08-18 19:19:44 UTC  

@porco How does it sound disgusting? Honey beer = mead. Or something akin to it.

2017-08-18 21:00:28 UTC  

china seems like a chill place to live

2017-08-18 21:00:33 UTC

2017-08-18 21:00:56 UTC

2017-08-18 21:29:12 UTC  

I like the youtube racemixer duo

2017-08-19 00:59:50 UTC  

It's not chill. Thailand is chill. China is stressful. Everything is a hassle, stuff is never easy

2017-08-19 01:00:07 UTC  

I'm gonna try that beer when I go to Taiwan this month, I'll let you guys know

2017-08-19 01:07:26 UTC  

My fiancee says she is most excited to leave China because everything is a hassle. Even just ordering food, or signing up for something, it takes so much more work and stress than it should sometimes

2017-08-19 02:05:00 UTC  

taiwan is chill

2017-08-19 02:05:04 UTC  

taiwan #1

2017-08-19 02:06:02 UTC  

you dont even have to talk to people to order food here. Just cross the dish you like and they will bring it
