i'm not even north american.... but live here and you will make the same comments.... the r/l thing isn't even chinese, it's the japanese who do it more...... jeez, when did you north american's lose the sense of humor..... it's actually quite sad really....
anyways... no shit doesn't work here, and even the chinese themselves make the same comments about things here too..... shit doesn't work here not because it's china, but because of the mindset communism and the lifestyle that was imposed between 49-79........ older chinese and chinese from hk and tw are tend to be far more common sensical..... so it's not racism it's shit government.........
those that are older are actually quite level headed... those who have been through the school system since 89 are on average quite indoctrinated..... until you've lived here don't claim that i am being racist... this attitude is fairly universal among expats from all countries....AND chinese who have had the luxury to live abroad
call it culture if you want, but i have been lied to by my co-workers and bosses more here than anywhere else, and this is the fourth country i have lived in..... a PRC contract is a contradiction in terms......you simply have no idea what happens here.....
from my comments you'd think i hate it here but i don't... i actually quite enjoy it, despite the constant frustrations... that's part of the charm..... it's kind of like being the underground man from Notes from the Underground (china is my toothache)........food is good... people are pleasant and friendly, but if given the choice to live here or live here and do business here, i would only live here......
dorian gray- it's not racism.... it's PRCism..... taiwanese are good folk, despite the fact that the taiwanese don't exist as there own country here.
btw... who is to say what is poor taste and what isn't? don't impose your moral superiority on me.....
back to the topic on hand..... no... nothing will function from Jan 29th to Feb 16th..........
