u walk on the street with all ur sensors turned on to avoid flying spits from any possible direction, wondering if this country has the highest occurrence of respiratory diseases per capita...

There's like... a lot of Chinese people around

You read another thread like this.

You suspect that ziccawei somehow escaped from Jurassic Park and plan intricate ways to disable, capture, and return him to his home...

you see people walking in pyjamas on the street.......
you see kids having a hole in their trousers so that they can take a s*** on the street....
you are the only one lining up properly while everybody else,well...you know what i mean,just look at the iron cages they use at the busstations to force the people to stand in line....
you get approached at once...."Hello,watch,bag,DVD looky looky".....
you blow your nose and everybody arround you stares at you and makes noises of disgust....at the same time spitting on the floor......in a restaurant,on the train,everywhere...
shall i go on?

You know when you are in China when 3D Avatar tickets are the most expensive in the world!!

Ahh China where the con never stops...





PS I saw Avatar (not 3D) in a cinema in Jakarta that has soft plush reclining lounge chairs, a side table and wait service for drinks and food - beer and wine also, 50RMB ticket during the week. Suckers!

When the green man comes on so you cross the road and nearly get hit by a bus/car/moped

When you go to McDonald's and order a "Big Mac" in English only to be summarily humiliated by having to resort to the laowai pointing menu.

When you go to a club and realize that you really are as handsome as your mom always told you you were and that you are God's gift to women as you had always suspected.

This only happens in China

It also happens in Miami Beach if you don't speak Spanish

When you have your picture taken all the time at tourist spots with locals... Posing with people who like to do that shi*ty peace sign.. WTF

I always put up my middle-finger... Good memories for them.

Ditto. Having them flash a West-Side "W" is also a nice touch

He he he

I once got some Chinese girls who where at a trade show in Germany posing for pics to stick their tongues out from between the V of their fingers . . . with the palm facing in of course. With lots of giggling too.

Gee, I wonder if they will ever figure it out?


Was I wrong ?


Nah . . .

Best case scenario: You start a new trend!

this is funny because I remember looking at city weekend or that's shanghai in November /December and there was a photo of two Chinese girls at some event doing this. I passed the issue around all my friends and we all had a good laugh thinking that they obviously didn't realise what they were doing. OR the editor of the mag didn't know what they were doing. Very funny!!!

^ all bullfeces...

I have seen at least 4 out of 10 in the US as well in my 1 month stay there and did not feel like I was in China. )
