It depends on how highly you value good diction and politeness. If it extentds to the point that valid counterarguments are unwelcome and amusing jokes become inappropriate, I strongly disagree. If you have some experience with online discussions, you'll find the above comments to be fairly mild and reasonably ... Full Comment>>

The Chengguang got her an ice cold Longwang popsicle. Full Comment>>

Take life deathly serious; get rich or die trying... Why don't these people realize they're never going to be rich & famous? so why not make the most of life and try to enjoy it? Oh no, they'd sooner kill themselves than be reasonable. Full Comment>>

Brandishing the Chinese flag, to promote careless Chinese driving even in the air! Full Comment>>

Angry religious nationalism born out of terrorism scare tactics. USA is itching to sue them for copyright violations. That's *their* intellectual property! Full Comment>>

they would only give my wife an epidural after she agreed to a cesarian sec5ion. before that, 20 hours of labour with no painkiller. insane. Full Comment>>

it's not what you write about, it's how you do it. isn't Ramen a Japanese term? Full Comment>>

Not just Guangdong. The windowdressing service is provided nationwide, and it's extremely difficult to find any institution that is half-competent and offers effective treatments. Everyone's so focused on the money side of the equation, that they don't even know how to do their jobs. It's no different with unhelpful ... Full Comment>>

Another set of rules that LOOKS GOOD on paper. Mission accomplished! Full Comment>>

It's gonna be fully booked with "Wee I Pees" in no time. And once the first batch of trainees take their first internship at BMW, the courses will be cancelled just as fast. Full Comment>>

Yum yum, can I have some more? Full Comment>>

Wife cake and husband cake sound like something that's normally protected by doctor-patient confidentiality. Full Comment>>

old fogies in china are the worst of the lot. *still* no manners or empathy at their age, and to top it off, they must be given respect at all times. it's like misbehaving kids who nobody can discipline. Full Comment>>

I was fond of: "Cow pat; moo." A meal and a chuckle. Full Comment>>

I studied there for 3 months, but I knew enough to just eat the normal stuff. Asian 'delicacies' are usually not that tasty. It's usually 'rare' meats; as in strange pieces of meat like this. I remember my professor treating me to a delicacy: It looked to me like half a pig's spine in watery soup with empty shrimp ... Full Comment>>

I've eaten it a few times at weddings here in Sichuan, so it's not exclusive to SEAsia. The 'palm' has a decent meaty core, so it's nicer than all the cartilage and tendons of most other local foods. But many of those porkfeet have a pungent aroma that is hard to endure for me. probably similar to an Asian's ... Full Comment>>

Strange how theres so much much emphasis on foot hygiene here, but at the same time everyone's chomping down on pig's trotters. Either it's some kind of foot fetish, or there are different rules for external and internal (food) hygiene. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it: Everyone's following 5000-year-old ...

Exactly. There are poor people all over the world, but you can find plenty of black, latina, eastern european or other women who have a sense of decency and empathy despite their financial situation. Chinese women are schooled, raised and programmed to go through life in blind hysteria until they're rich enough to ... Full Comment>>

Buildings alone don't mean modernization. Money alone does not mean intellectualism and sophistication. The less you know about China, the better it looks. Full Comment>>

Sounds like a prostitute trick. isn't this fairly common around the world? Is it supposed to scare foreign men into not sleeping with "China's" women? Never fall asleep with someone you just met - you make that mistake, you deserve to be robbed. Full Comment>>

We got plenty of packages from Holland. The main problem is getting through the apathy of my Dutch friends to actually make the effort. They need to sign a statement that the milk powder is a gift; that puts them off even more. But once sent, the packages arrive consistently faster than letter mail. Full Comment>>

another translated article showing the wonderfully rigid train of thought locals have. side with Russia or side with the USA or side with neither: those are the 3 choices for China. i'm sure China's leaders are more aware of the abundance of possibilities and choices at hand, but it's really sad that locals can't ...

Let's not glorify the 'politeness' of western driving. Yes, they understand road rules a bit better and are outwardly more well-behaved, but AFAIK, traffic mishaps in the west are an excellent forum for office workers in cars to vent their pent-up rage. Fortunately, they'll moderate their behaviour and it rarely ... Full Comment>>
