It was pretty hard to find a nice picture that I hadn't yet posted on Facebook.

My supervisor allowed me the first few days off to get over my jetlag. I used them to visit as many interesting places as possible, because seeing the sun is important when recovering from a jetlag.

On one of the first things I did was fetch a bicycle. Dutchmen can feel quite a bit lost without one, it feels really strange to not be able to bike anywhere. You can literally access any place in the Netherlands by bike within a day, so I really had to buy one.

Bikes are very popular in Kyoto, because the city doesn't have quite as advanced an underground railway as most cities, and the buses are a bit old and slow.
They didn't quite have my size though. The bicycles that sell in Japan as regular bicycles would sell as kid size in the Netherlands, so I bought a small one.

On the next day, I biked to 南禅寺, and walked along 哲学の道 to 銀閣寺 where I think I remember taking this picture

Many of them also speak Hokkien, which is another dialect, but if you want to go to Taiwan you should learn Mandarin.

I'm just trying to say that China isn't the same plastic melding backwards quantity over quality producer that it was in the 70s-80s-90s.
It now has an enough experience and a well enough educated workforce to produce on it's own.

>>70092884
Nice meme.

>>70092884
Funny thing is, many of them are already 'exported' to China.
When one of us is stupid enough to buy an iPhone, we pay for a Chinese kid to put it together, for a shipping company to bring it to our continent, and we pay for the brand, design, and commercials.
When a Chinese person buys an iPhone, they basically send a bunch of money to the US not even for producing or shipping it, but just for providing the brand, design, and making the product popular through commercials.

Dutch people have the same thing, they do not underdtand how big the US are and cannot fathom why you are so obsessed with cars and have little bikes and public transport.

>>70093790
It's probably the same exchange student from HK I was replying to
>>70093417
It also helps that our country is really flat, and therefore easily traversable by bike.

>>70094125
Thanks, we have too many tourists who don't know how to bike yet try to do it anyway, being a severe traffic hindrance in the process.

I see many Chinese students here but they never have a boyfriend
Why don't they want boyfriends? I need a rich Chinese gf

it is not possible all female chinese university students have bfs

it is the male who very often do not

Well they often don't because most Chinese males aren't homosexual.

but what do you expect to get from it

>>70103494

>>70103519

>>70103598
*1 semester
not 1 month, closer to 4

>>70103598
that's what calligraphy is about, aesthetics
they won't teach you the more varied styles but they will make your characters look nicer at minimum

>>70103658
okay I signed up, at worst I'll probably meet some more learners I guess

>>70104385
not sure if you need your own materials though

brush paper ink stuff of that nature

>>70103519
Yeah calligraphy is actually not easy
You might gain an appreciation for the art
And depending on the environment you might even feel a connection to the ancient Chinese

The car culture is a result of Americans being spread out across the country and the whole idea of the American dream during the 50s. The interstate highway system was a major factor that resulted in many people moving out of cities into suburbs and consequently purchasing cars. Even in major cities like NY, while there is adequate public transportation, it doesn't really compare to other countries' public transportation because Americans who live in suburbs don't really support public transportation since it won't really benefit them, so as a result public transit organizations are underfunded and inefficient.

Car culture and suburbanization has been increasingly criticized by urban planners and younger Americans in recent years because it has caused major damage to formerly prosperous city centers due to people moving out of cities.

im doing it for buisiness ventures into hongkong but its good to know about the others. is it absolutely incompatible with Mandarin when speaking?

>>70113842
>is it absolutely incompatible with Mandarin when speaking?
The pronunciation and grammar are completely different. But when a mainlander and a HKer both write in formal written Chinese, they can understand each other, but if a HKer writes in informal written Cantonese, the mainlander probably won't understand unless they speak Cantonese themself.

If you're wanting to deal specifically with HK, you should probably start out with Canto, but realistically, for business purposes in HK you'll probably end up wanting to learn both. One step at a time though

Quick question, for those of you who know more about Chinese culture: is it normal or acceptable to wish someone a happy Chinese new year before the actual new year? I won't be talking to some of my Chinese friends until at least a few weeks after, so I figure I would just send them my good wishes now. But I'm not sure if there is anything in Chinese culture which would forbid this.

Shay-shay, my niggas.

>>70118253
its not normal but its not a taboo
you can say happy new year whenever you like its no big deal

>>70118253

it's expected because the proper celebration is for 10 days before it

actually the proper name is the spring festival, 春节, so to make some cultural sense it is called the “chinese” new year in western countries to denote why it is so important

I suppose it's quite good since you have high living standards and good education

I just want to make enough money to fly bourgeoisie class to third world countries like China.

I won't even stop there. I just want to have enough money to pay off the pilot enough that he satisfied and won't kill me by divebombing the plane into some mountain range.

Also enough money to pay off the mechanic so he won't be sneaky and disable some important part of the airplane.

Also enough money to pay off the super hacker so that he won't disable the engine functionality mid-flight and cause the plane to plummet into an iceburg

Also money to pay off the all-female attendant crew to provide massages and say nice things about me in my safe space for the entire duration of the flight

Is this too much to ask for?

Eh turns out the wumaos just post cheerleading stuff during holidays on government sites and weibo. I get a little triggered whenever someone accuses someone if being one on the English Internet because there is a 0% chance they actually are-- shows the effectiveness of counter-propaganda imo

Speaking of weibo, does anyone here who actually speaks mandarin browse it? How is it?

>>70140180
I want to weibo to creep on the qts but I don't feel like creating an account

That's the only reason why I use it. All you need to do is supply a phone number and you're good to create an account.

>>70140534
Giving my number to a company logging my creepiness seems like a baaaaad idea

Easier to learn Mandarin after learning Cantonese first.
Cantonese will give you a better instinct for words of Chinese origin in Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese.

You'd want to learn Mandarin if you plan on going literally anywhere in China but the southern coast though.

>>70140972
The 1996 cantonese series is the best adaption of Journey to the West.

No it is not, it is the worst the one in the 80s is the holy grail of all chinese historic drama, if you watch it the land (your spirit) will be reborn with you

the spirituality of the novel is lost in later dramatization, sad!

Right lads

How do I get a job in Macau or Hong Kong?

About to finish my masters in statistics, and was thinking of going for a PhD scholarship at a HK university and then getting work afterwards.

Any tips?

>>70141290
>ball-shattering screeches

no thanks

>>70141290
the title of the song is why must you journey west

and near the end the monk is contemplating because the nubile woman, daughter of the old man, is displaying her form in front of him etc

and westerners say chinese has no soul, some people i swear

>>70141361
Are there even jobs in Macau? I thought it was a casino "city" that exists only got corrupt officials to gamble away the people's money. Not being ironic btw

>>70141445
>normal university

>>70144128
Doesn't that just mean teaching college

>>70144079
Living in Macau must be hell. It's so fucking crowded

>>70144128
师范 is not an easily translatable word
technically it means pedagogical or teaching

but it is not a teaching university per se, it's more of a specialized university hence focus of being taught

>>70144128

Good observation

>>70144079
Well there is one "university" that's ranked like 500 on QS, so it's clearly a pretty shit city for anything other than gambling. Still though, looks like a cool city to live in desu, and a ferry ride away from HK

How do you master or become more familiar with pronouncing and hearing the tones in Cantonese?

>>70144885
Watch HK tv and movies. That's really the best way desu. Textbook Audio is fake as fuck and wont get you far.

>>70144923
Do I need to watch ones that subtitles in English or nah?

>>70145114
Nah

The solution is to find hot girls that are already rich. That's what I did. This bitch buys so much shit for me it's unbelievable. She has rich Chinese (and foreign) guys more handsome than me macking on her all the time but she stays with me because she already has money.

>>70145904
The better solution is to be rich yourself

>>70125732
I don't know what the fuck that guy was thinking. He could have easily found a much hotter girl than that. I regularly fuck girls hotter than that. I don't have money.

Yeah these hot Chinese girls have orbiters but they'll never fuck them. They still want to be with actual men who will fuck them and not put them on a pedestal.

>>70145942
too much work

>>70145942
It's difficult to do and it's nice knowing that a girl isn't with me because of money.

If I'm rich then she's going to expect me to buy shit for her. I'd just be a wallet.

That is what Chinese girls want though
you show that you'll be able to support a family with money and she will help manage the house and raise your kids well
Being together for sex or "love" or personality will eventually wear off and your marriage will be bad
Being rich is also kind of fun, you just need to be smarter about your spending and investing, not working more

>>70146109
The girl I'm dating right now has a very rich family. She also owns her own business that brought in over 100k USD her first year.

Every girl wants a man that can provide but if she's already rich then she's already provided for.

>>70146170
Rich girl family probably wants a rich man right?
You need to have her family respect as well
Being rich is a educational thing as well so you know how to manage family finance, you do not want to leave it all to your wife

>>70146032
it's a fictionalized account of a true event but so is the dramatization of the novel about wu ze tian, sanguoyanyi is the fictionalized account of san guo zhi and so on

so can you not pls

>>70146238
That could be a problem. I don't know yet.

>>70146170
Have you met her family yet?

>>70147626
nope

She's the one chasing me in the relationship. I'll wait and see what she wants.

it's an expression but it's metaphoric

chinese have a lot of anatomy related metaphors for morality, to westerners it is absurd so just pretend you are an ancient sage

I see. Are you planning to move back or settle down in China?

and the 5th 化缘 is not just any begging by any begger it must be the buddhist monk doing his vow of poverty because that 化 in that context doesn't mean chemistry or even transformation, it is the dharmic translation and yuan is the chinese sub for fate

Good well gents.
