Does anyone know how to open Yin-Yang Eyes (陰陽眼) so that I can see gods and ghosts?
Blake Parker
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

The sith code was written down about 6900 years before the Battle of Yavin, I wouldn't be so sure about that

So I can understand most normal speech but every so often when watching tv or something someone just seems to make up a chengyu or 对联 out of thin air that isn't in any dictionary and it makes no sense how do i git gud so i can understand what they are saying
Hudson Morris
Why do chinky people eat with chopsticks of all imaginable eating utensils? It's because only noobs play life on easy mode.
Julian Fisher
you must know a lot of historic drama that's how they get their passion for making them up too
most though are just variations of folk wisdom

Anyone here own any Chinese company products? I'm thinking about making my next phone xiaomi or zte?

Everything is made in China. I don't know what you are scared of?

Xiaomi or huawei
Aaron Murphy
Classic of Poetry is pretty good. I will have to get my hands on a bilingual english-chinese one for sure.
Juan Richardson
Different views on QC between Chinese makers and those who only use the Chinese workforce to assemble their products probably Just because iPhones and whatever high end smartphones are assembled in China doesn't mean all phones from China hold up to those standards
Aiden Nguyen
I have a OnePlus 2 and a few Xiaomi powerbanks
Bentley James
The factory is owned by a Chinese company
As I said Xiaomi and Huawei make good electronics.
Justin Cooper
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.
I personally can't wait for the epic future when Donald Trump brings manufacturing back to the United States and we get a Chinese owner company manufacturing iPhones in America to import to China
David Murphy
Nice meme.
Sebastian Ross
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.
Brayden Ward
REALLY made me think
Brody Diaz
Sounds relaxing. I didn't know the Netherlands is that small.
Brandon Wright
Only if you're planning to move to Hong Kong or like HK entertainment.
Liam King
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.
Justin Sanchez
It's probably the same exchange student from HK I was replying to It also helps that our country is really flat, and therefore easily traversable by bike.
Angel Cruz
>tfw I don't even know how to bike I think I will never visit the Netherlands...
Robert Long
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.
Eli Hall
I see many Chinese students here but they never have a boyfriend Why don't they want boyfriends? I need a rich Chinese gf
Lincoln Hernandez
it is not possible all female chinese university students have bfs
it is the male who very often do not
Benjamin Flores
Well they often don't because most Chinese males aren't homosexual.
Henry Nguyen
have gfs*
Samuel Wright
Rich is enough for me dbh
Brayden Ortiz
I don't need a rich Chinese GF. I need one with QT toes.
Juan Martin
lol yeah I don't understand the obsession with cars either. I wish there were more underground train systems in the US.

I don't care about feet, they could even be binded and I would still not care.

Should I take a calligraphy class or is it a joke? confucius institute thing, has anyone tried?
Nathan Thompson
Liberal arts is a joke man. Do STEM.
Oliver Martin
calligraphy is no joke but what do you expect to get from it you won't be a millionaire obviously
Cooper White
I'm doing computer engineering, it's just a 1 month class on wednesday nights I can take for 30$
The description tells me "Students are expected to acquire an understanding of aesthetics of Chinese calligraphy and insight into Chinse culture too." so it makes interested
Matthew Hughes
*1 semester not 1 month, closer to 4
Jackson Hall
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
Mason Long
okay I signed up, at worst I'll probably meet some more learners I guess
Cooper Phillips
not sure if you need your own materials though
brush paper ink stuff of that nature
Owen Hill
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
Lincoln Long
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.
wow i sure love memorizing literally thousands of boring idioms chinese culture sure is cool ;)
Cooper Nguyen
of course chinese is not like the west it doesn't rely on material to propagate it is all about the literature, literal or figurative if you don't like idioms you don't like china

Did you use the Randen tramline in Kyoto? I thought it was super comfy (t. /n/) and was able to shoot a video from the front window. Visited the city for I think 3 days in August.
Ryan Lee
Who are you to judge? It's a really sensitive subject which requires quite a lot of experience and knowledge. Do you have that?
Grayson Morales
Is that even a question
Ethan Roberts
>sensitive HK are chinks what's there to judge They were cucked by Brits for a while and that's that now they think they have some special snowflake status that somehow makes them different from chinks 20km across the border
Cooper Hernandez
>5 hour bus trip to Kaohsiung to visit gf's parents >when you can only speak beginner Mandarin >when they speak Hokkien so you can not practice your listening At least they are really nice.
Jose Cox
ask them to speak mandarin
Jackson Flores
hker are not the only people that speak cantonese majority of Cantonese speakers live outside of hk
Wyatt Green
>special snowflake status that somehow makes them different from chinks 20km across the border remember elsaß-lothringen
Aiden Taylor
HK is just one place that speaks Cantonese
though they are the only ones I've met who get triggered when you speak mandarin to them
