Isnt shenzhen almost like Hong Kong?
free economic zone so you can browse facebook, twitter, youtube etc?
I thought that was only for gwailo <:thonk:288060975775612929>
no
shenzhen in the end is still china
while hong kong found it's own identity
if you go to lok ma chau, the border between hong kong and shenzhen you see the difference
on one side there's massive skyscrapers and a big city feel
and on the other side it's farm lands and green hills
As a Cantonese speaker, do you feel that people are more civilised in one or the other? Don't know what to believe because HKers and mainlanders all talk shit about each other
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
actually, no, not the mainland as a whole
I mean HK vs Shenzhen
hk people seems higher class but they both havev a sense of arrogance to them
I'm racists towards asians though
I try not to be but I can't help it
aren't you azn tho
yes but my point still stand
they fucking suck
Nothing unusual about that
@fruitloops.exe it's not mask worthy but it's like letting your car run while you're sealing yourself in your garage with it. But it's not too bad. Occasionally it'll feel super dirty on my lungs and throat and I get short of breath but I'm slowly getting used to it
K, my friend is from Xian and based off her description of China I just kinda thought air was shit everywhere
I remember this one teacher I had, he had whole lessons that was just like, "If you go to China, *touch nothing* - they will force you to buy it. If you see something in a store, it will be *three times* the listed price, because you are a tourist."
But I guess that's more of a mega city thing
Yeah the air was good when I went up to JiuZhai county to visit a Tibetan village. Very clean. But back here in Chengdu it's pretty bad. Not mask worthy. Beijing is mask worthy
@Silent most of the time touch nothing otherwise they will expect you to buy it or you will cause a lot of trouble. But they don't jack up the prices for tourists. Or at least that has r happened to me. But they're fairly reasonable
Luckily I just point to something and say dou shao Quan and they tell me how many chinko tokens I need and then I hand them cash and I don't say a word cuz I don't know too much Chinese
*qian
*tokens
Damn autocorrect
Are you staying in Chengdu the whole time or are you going out on more small trips
Fair point, most Chinese are very cautious against other Chinese about getting chinked anyway
lel i am also sorta racist against asians
well mostly because mainlanders are filthy no mannered apes and hkers are fagatron arrogant tryhards
of course youll find awesome peeps from both groups but generally that is what you can observe and the bad stand out over the good
I don't get how that's different from any other group
I used to know a black dude that would talk about all the "fucking niggers" he knew in America
Plenty of retarded bogans here, plenty of retards in yurop
It's the same shit everywhere
bogans? you an ausfag?
