    I've heard similar so I think it's probably pretty accurate.

    Sometimes I hear a student here and there in social media saying we demonise the CCP too much but I just start calling them peasants to underline that is all they would be.

    The fact that they blocked the roads so that noone would get out (victims) or noone could get in (volunteers with water, food and boats) speaks volumes.

    Tofu dreg meaning the bits left over after cutting tofu. Another situation where reporting on it will get you arrested.

    I stayed in a hotel in China where I was warned not to not use the balconies for anything but pet dogs or one or two normal people. The cleaner showing me the room said I was too big and it's too dangerous for me..

    She was very nice, asked me to wait for a moment before I entered the room and had stuff in her hands. She had just scooped up a snowdrift of cards for prostitutes pushed under the door. Hardly any point as when I went out that afternoon I came back and there were already over ten cards back there.

    They have a system where if you leave your home area (dirt poor rural etc) you can't get any services so many peasant girls turn to prostitution.

    A bit like what somebody wishes happened this morning to him :) The valeting place used a shiny wax on the wife's seats and dash. She did tell them twice she hates shiny.. She went beast mode, I've never seen her lose her cool like that. Like a scene from the Sopranos.

    He probably should have just told her a little alcohol will remove the shine... Better send flowers to the widow haha.

    Losing your temper in public will also get your collar felt in China.

    Going beast mode on workers, because they're doing their job, sounds bit messed up.
    But then, some services really suck, especially if you told them twice, that you don't want that.
    Nonetheless, nice seats.

    P.s. used to work with customers. 80% of the time, if a client didn't ask for help/something, it would end up only worse, thus, a rule of thumb for me, never offer to help, only if it's that obvious that it's needed or they ask.

    She is extraordinarily unmaterialistic or was until I gave her the little Alfa Romeo when she completed an advanced driving course. She says she would like to be buried in it or have the logo on the casket.

    We live in Colombia and sometimes men don't fully listen to women... Getting things done as you ask is a chore here all the time.
