Why can't Chinese people drive properly? It doesn't matter where in the world, from Singapore to Sydney to San Francisco to Shanghai. |

Don't know about mainland chinese so much because I mostly took the metro but seemed like even when I took a taxi, they drove fine. I've been to Busan, Korea and they have very narrow lanes and a ton of traffic. The buses are literally 2 feet away from each other on the sides. Those drivers are extremely steady, focused, and calm. I've never seen drivers that good. |

I do hope that someone will explain this:
Anyways I have a really nice Chinese roommate. Actually she's amazing and FUNNY
But we had a little problem: I'm a clean freak she's... let's say the opposite.
I wrote some "how to clean" guides for her but still no improvement.
So one day I said: I can't understand how a WOMAN can have such high tolerance for dirt! How can you be so oblivous to dirt??
She said: I'M NOT A WOMAN; I'M ONLY HALF A WOMAN!!
Whe hat does that mean? btw she's better now! |

it means she is a lesbian. you can just ask her "are you a lala" where "lala" means lesbian in Chinese.
now for the hygiene issue, check out her background (education/financial status) and you will see the answer.
However, actually I can answer the reason without going into details. You said she is your roommate and this means she is on rent together with you, oh you can just safely assumed her family is not in shanghai and she just moved to Shanghai for work/study. This is the reason - you drive just 100km out of Shanghai and the average income there could be just 1/3 of what you get in Shanghai (which is already damn low). |

Thanks !!! Ta bu shi lala :lol:
You are right; she is not from Shanghai however she's travelled and studied abroard. The other problem is if I don't tell her to do something, she won't do it...It's like living with a 5 year old. We have a great relationship beside that. We talk a lot about germs so it's probably education...
I'm aware of the situation outside of Shanghai; I spent a year travelling around China before settling in Shanghai.

But you still don't really accept how deep those habits go. You think you can "talk to her about germs" and suddenly she'll become a clean freak.
Here. For a comparable situation, take a Nebraska fundamentalist and explain to him/her why God is a silly creation of man's insecurity. See how drastically that changes their behavior patterns because you explained the facts to them.
People are not very rational, ya know ? |

Yea, I see what you mean. I don't expect her to change. I guess I was just puzzled ( Sorry, I've never had a roommate before) I couldn't understand how someone her age, 26, didn't know that you have to use soap to clean dishes ( she does now) or she didn't know you have to keep the freazer's door closed, leaving used pads for all to see... I know this is normal here, but she LIVED abroad before. That's changed everything.
She told me she never learnt to clean because she went to boarding school.
Yep Rationality is like a precious stone wink:
She's a great roommate tho! |
