Is chinese folk medicine effecive? I remember reading somewhere that it focuses on the symptoms rather than the cause
Dominic Davis
A part of it works, a part of it is quackery. Not sure which part is which.
Asher Walker
The simple stuff works (treating sore throat, stomache ache). Anything beyond that is rubbish.
Blake Ortiz
Figured that much Folk medicine is really good at treating things like that.

How does Russia view China btw?
In the west, we often paint them as rivals.

I remember a soviet era joke. It went somewhat like this >War breaks out between the USSR and China >The USSR us low on equipment so just every third man gets a gun >Shasha is told to pick up a broom and pretend it's a gun >He goes to the battlefield and points it at a chinese slowly walking towards him >He shouts BANG >Chinese keeps moving >BANG he says agan >Why won't you die, Sasha asks >Can't you see I'm a fucking tank says the Chinese
James Murphy
>>Can't you see I'm a fucking tank says the Chinese would you retell this in hungarian please
Carson Jackson
>Nem látod hogy tank vagyok bazmeg
Chase Thomas
Sorry if the translation is a but bad. I made it hastily
Jace Parker
beggars mustn't be choosers and “Kínai srác mondani”?
Jace Bennett
>“Kínai srác mondani” The funny thing is that what you just typed could be interpreted in a thousand ways. But I guess you wanted to type something similar to "子曰" from the annalects (Or I'm just seeing too much into this) In that case it would be "(Egy) kínai srác mondta:". Whithout "egy" it sounds kind of broken but it's still understandable.

OH GOD, FUCK THIS ADVICE. GO CHOKE ON THIS FUCKING WATER
Wyatt Rogers
I don't get what you are mad at. The warm part is weird,but water is great for headaches.
Julian Sanders
It's the chinks cure for everything.
>Mom, I just got the results from the doctor - I have terminal cancer. >Honey, just drink some warm water.
Liam Roberts
Guangzhou
Ian Sanchez
This. Dehydration is a common cause of headaches (same cause for hangovers). Sounds like good advice to me.
Gabriel Jenkins
It's that they suggest it on any occasion - I HAVE AIDS -DRINK MORE WATER
Jack Ross
better than "wow your chinese is so sugoi your tones are perfect"
Jayden Rivera
sugoi is japanese lol you baka (japanese for stupid)
Luke Edwards
I recommend it for a lot of things. It's excellent
Chase White
Acupuncture is supposed to work, everything else is sketchy
William Martin
Nothing wrong with encouraging people to drink water, what makes me roll my eyes is when Chinese admonish me for drinking cold water cause "cold water is bad for healthy"
Nathaniel Kelly
shit you mean of been learning the wrong language this whole time
しまったなーどうしよ

Mason Bennett
for stomach gas and discomfort it is good
for serious disease it is pointless and only remedial like all folk medicine
David Nguyen
The best Chinese medicine is still getting sucked off by a QT Chinky girl.

About a year and a few months ago I managed to pass HSK 3 and HSKK Basic, but I feel like that was complete luck
Landon Fisher
Can't stop the TAIWANESE WAVE.
Lil brown guy was really proud of this authentic Taiwanese cup sealing machine. Didn't try a 珍奶 tho and went for a mango smoothie.
Adam Torres
Any tips for getting the tones right?
Eli Smith
practice
Gavin Jackson
practice
Leo Reed
FYI even if you get the tones wrong, they'll usually understand you through context.
Evan Smith
My experience has been the exact opposite.
If even a single tone is wrong they'll look at me like I'm crazy. I've dated girls that insisted they don't understand what I'm saying and when I type it for them they laugh and say "oooooh you mean...." repeating exactly what the fuck I just said.
It's infuriating sometimes.
David Carter
Are they fucking with you?
For example, tones are mostly lost when singing, yet people still understand what you're singing
I don't know. The other day I was buying groceries and I asked the lady for a 袋子 dai4zi and she just stared at me. It took her a few seconds to realize what I was saying and then she repeated it like "ahhhh daizaaaaa" or some shit.
Situations like that make me question why the fuck I'm learning this language.
Christian Miller
Maybe sing it next time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Samuel Adams
>why the fuck I'm learning this language Because you want a qt chink girlfriend
William Kelly
I've already fucked ~15 girls since I came here 5 months ago.
Jeremiah Bell
And how many did you fuck before going? Also, where in China are you and why? Studies?
Owen Gomez
>3 per month sad!
Brayden Kelly
I fucked a few girls when I lived in Korea. None in the US. White girls are gross.
I could have easily doubled that number. I just don't want to put that much time and effort into fucking new girls all the time. I have a few I keep on rotation now including a rich one that buys me shit all the time.
Ian Miller
I work in Beijing.
Benjamin Moore
>virgin gets his first taste of pussy
enjoy it while it lasts lol sexpats were a mistake
Chase Mitchell
There's no reason to be upset.
Jacob Cruz
>I work in Beijing. How do you feel about it? Do you like working there?
Ethan Lee
Beijing is boring and the pollution sucks. I'll be looking for work in a different city soon.
Aaron Lopez
>Tfw I lived in China for two years and only fucked three girls in that timespan
Maybe I should just kill myself.
Brandon Brooks
Haha were you in a big city? You might not have been here when Tantan (Chinese Tinder) was a thing. It's incredibly easy here.
My buddy just went to a third tier city and said he matched almost every girl he swiped on Tantan. I'm lucky if I get one or two matches a day in Beijing. I think those smaller cities are even easier if you're white.
Sebastian Cruz
Over 6 years ago.
I'm fairly fluent and could probably pass HSK5, maybe HSK6.
It's been a few months since I came home from China though. I'm still reading Chinese daily on WeChat and Weibo, but my listening and speaking ability has probably deteriorated.
