Lol i'm in ShengZhen China now. On my dad's friend's company computer. They're having some conversation outside so I got the com to myself for a good afternoon until dinner later.
Bleh its been pretty alright over here, a little boring cos I keep having to stone around while my parents discuss/settle matters. Met my sis ytd, and her "good friend" matthew. He looks geeky but he's an uber nice guy la haha. He was super friendly + farney, and they kept saying tat I must meet a Singaporean called Tim Lim O_o wo0t so many TimLims around here.
Err there are a freaking load of prostitutes here in China. We walked around ytd and so many of them hankered after my dad and his business friends, even though the wives were in tow. And some of them even approched me wtf. Highly scary. But the standard of girls in China > Hk > Singapore. I suppose more people = more chio ppl even tho the % is around the same. Bleh and its starting to get chilly now, so I have to wear a jacket everywhere cos my breath is distinguishable when one squints.
The traffic in China is l33t too. On average there are at least 3 ppl riding on one motorcycle, and very often u see four people crammed onto one motornike, and its those old rusty kinds. They weave in and out and between the mass of speeding cars on the highways with no regard whatsoever for safety. Highly GG. Also there are insane people who attempt to cross the huge 8-laned roads with bags & luggage in tow, and they actually make it across within a few minutes of trying. We were eating at this place along the road and saw this group of people dashing across the road when a truck was bearing down on them blaring its horns. Unbelievable g stuff man. People in China also accelerate freaking quickly to spurt past other cars, then crank the gear sets and twist past other people to turn into a lane, all to avoid being stuck in the lane for a few seconds longer. The traffic light is also practically indiscernable, and cars nearly never stop at all, going at high speeds all the way and ignoring all traffic from the sides. Its freakish to sit in a car here I tell you.
Most amazingly is that I have seen zero accidents to date. Zilch, nil (nai), Zero. Wtheck imba.
Err I havent seen any China lanshops yet, though i'm hoping i'll be able to visit a few of those "farming/levelling" cafes, where people get paided to level your characters for u, or sell mmorpg items etc. Its a fad in China apparently, and some uncles have told me that Chinese students are really hooked onto the whole gaming thing. Rofl wangmiao the gamer.
Hk has loads more lanshops though, but everyone's playing either WoW other mmo in chinese which I cant recognise. The interface sure looks familiar though. No one really plays lan inside, but u have the occasional CS player and thats all. A group of heavily tattooed middle-aged beer bellied men were playing this mahjong game, and behind them stood a group of scantily clad hk-girls smoking and talking to each other. The place was filled with smoke and as usual u have a gang of youths smoking at the back playing various mmorpgs.
Raargh okay shall blawg more when I have time. Blawg. Blawgger. Blawggrrr. Blaawrrggrrrr.
