@thisischaniece I've had this exact discussion with taxi drivers at least 300x.

Talking to aunties about possibly not having kids: "Yea kids are a lot of work and very expensive..." Talking to uncle taxi driver: *spends the entire taxi ride convincing it's basically the same as having a pet* "plus mixed kids are really smart"

@thisischaniece Plus you chose an awesome city to live in with the best food

“Everyone was worried when you moved to China, but now I’m like… you definitely made the right decision”

@learning_yohei I remember making my first international call from one, and watching how fast 105 went to 0!

Do you know how to use this old public phone? Apparently, many young people in Japan don’t know how to use it anymore🥺

@MadAnthropology @mcgillmd921 This is on my Plex waiting for a long overdue rewatching (have not seen since 1981)

@mcgillmd921 Not a movie but the 1981 miniseries Masada seems nearly forgotten. A shame because it’s excellent. And watching Peter O’Toole chewing the scenery as Flavius Silva is worth your time.

What's your favorite Roman History movie?

@Susan16Park This Chinese bot works in an office where the Chinese characters make no sense.

@TripInChina Looks 1000x better than my high school cafeteria food

A county junior high school cafeteria in Sichuan.It looks very spicy.🌶🌶🌶🌶

@zapatas_mom Is this in one of the foreign concession zones? Appears to be a renovation of a European style apartment that you'd see there.

I miss shanghai apartments!

@thisischaniece I loved going to our local 电脑城 in Guangzhou - looking at stuff just like this - and PC games also of course.

Living in China means...being able to buy the actual parts to fix your hard drive's PCB board. Let's see if this works.

@Hobopoyo I learned Chinese first so I can usually guess 熟語 onyomi pronunciation. But I miss a lot also!

japanese words that sound like chinese fr???🀄 fuyou 不要 = fuyou → búyào = don’t need keizai 経済 = keizai → jīngjì = economy jikan 時間 = jikan → shíjiān = time denwa 電話 = denwa → diànhuà = phone bunka 文化 = bunka → wénhuà = culture 音読み (on-yomi) makes these sound way close to chinese like little pronunciation twins 💫 like「これは fuyou です」＝ same vibe as búyào!! wow! yay!! patreon.com/posts/twin-wor… P.S. please correct me if i'm wrong. I am a beginner level.

@TripInChina Looks like the V’ger cloud in Star Trek The Motion Picture.

We are landing on an interstellar warship. Shanghai South Railway Station, it looks like a UFO.😍 My original video.

@moe_laboratory In Chinese it's called "双人旁" - is it like this?

This is the radical of the kanji character “行”. Do you know what it's called?

@TripInChina I think I saw that at 广州酒家 back in the day

Breakfast for Guangdong people.😋😋😋

@zapatas_mom Walking lifestyle and healthier food will do that!

True story I lost 15lbs in a year my first year in China. Just from walking

@CarlZha Maybe you can still get 川北凉粉

Waking up to our train going thru western Hunan and Guizhou province on our way to my hometown Chongqing. I'm tempted to go clean the train window at the next stop so I can get better view

@zapatas_mom I have left China so many times but it was always temporary. Can't wait to go back, even for just a business trip.

I LOVE shanghai and I am confident life will bring me back there one day. My parents are becoming elderly, so I want nothing more than to be with them for now. Still, Shanghai has my soul. I feel a little bit incomplete being away from that city. Shanghai feels like my home. I am away from my home for now, but one day I will return. God willing.

@moe_laboratory I keep seeing “narokesoro” even though I know it’s Tokyo

I sometimes asked you but can you read this ENGLISH?? For me it's really difficult

@jokieliu 麒麟 - maybe because of the popular beer

Name one thing people thought is from Japan but it actually is from China. I go first. Nine-tailed fox demon 九尾狐

@mcgillmd921 Currently: Aurelian

Without saying JULIUS CAESAR name your favorite person from Roman History.

@riyoriyo_ 凄い！私の姪は高校生でピアノを真面目に習っていますがまだジャズを弾いてない。

これ、インスタにアップしたら 何故かめっちゃバズってて 外国人のフォロワーが4000人も増えてた。 笑 バークリーではこんな感じで日々、 学校のあちこちでジャムが繰り広げられてて、 初めて会った仲間たちとセッションして 盛り上がって遊んでたワンシーンです😂 そんなわけで日本に昨日、 帰ってきたよ〜ーーただいま！ 日本、あつっ😆

@Susan16Park Coltrane - “my favorite things”. He grew up just down the road from me.
