Is math that hard ?

I always had the thought that I'm the only Hong Konger that goes on English communities online since I was young and threads like these still baffle me. :v: I've only been to Shanghai during Expo 2010 on a school organized trip, it was a pretty interesting experience. 回到香港可以找我見一下面呵～ [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mZTQktS.gif[/IMG]

中国女人是性感吗?

[QUOTE=fritzel;43076811]Is math that hard ?[/QUOTE] It's not that it's hard it's just a couple years ahead of where we are. They're doing our graduate level math during their undergrad.

[QUOTE=Disseminate;43077295] Let's be real here, the vast majority are nasty as hell. I've never heard such loud spitting from a girl before. [/QUOTE] There's always the story of mainlanders defecating in public :u I've been on the Shenzhen Metro and I've seen in person how far people would go just to get a seat I was in Shenzhen with my family one time and there's this well-dressed normal looking girl with her boyfriend that suddenly shoved her butt into my mother's seat on the train when the row was clearly full. It is pretty bizarre.

Really cool that you are studying there for a while, you really get to know the culture that way. I was in Hangzhou/Guangzhou/Xiamen and Singapore for business a while back. Hangzhou was a really fun city, just the buisiness area near the airport is really really ugly. Its really pretty near the west lake tough, and good food there too. You should go there if you havnt already. Also I didnt find the Chinese cuisine greasy. Sure they like pork alot but there is also alot of fish and other dishes. And did you eat at one of those restaurants with a rotating table centre already? Also never eat on the street: [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrv78nG9R04[/URL] But it looks like you already know that. Have fun there! [editline]5th December 2013[/editline] P.S.:Btw, i know a good KTV bar there if you are interested in that kind of stuff. :wink:

Eastern China (chong qing, si chuan, etc) are more spicy...shanghai is more expensive, but more delicate, etc. Eating on the street is fine if you know what you're doing. I'm Chinese, born in the UK, spent a few of my elementary school years in China (2 in HK, 3 in mainland, including shenzhen and shanghai), then moved to Vancouver, Canada for the next 10 years. I'm now at UToronto for Computer Engineering.

I'm studying chinese in Beijing myself. I haven't been outside Beijing yet, which cities do you recommend I should visit?

[QUOTE=CheezyCheeze;43087506]I'm studying chinese in Beijing myself. I haven't been outside Beijing yet, which cities do you recommend I should visit?[/QUOTE] Hangzhou for 2-3 days seems like a good amount.

[QUOTE=Angus725;43085521] Eating on the street is fine if you know what you're doing. [/QUOTE] Obviously, looking for some food.

Yall seen those new pictures of Shanghai? I thought Shanghai was a bit better than Beijing, but I guess not safe in any way. If Im going there Ill need your help Facepunch. Whats the best gasmask money can buy?

Beijing is really the only place with bad air pollution

[QUOTE=Super2Donny;43095761]Beijing is really the only place with bad air pollution[/QUOTE] What about the other major industrial cities that rely on coal?

你喜歡中國嗎? i'm pretty sure a couple of those are wrong :v:

It's OK. Vast majority of it is a shithole but there are great bits in it.

is it like sleeping dogs? joking aside, I'm interested in asian countries like japan, china and korea. If I was going to go to mainland china, what would you suggest I did to prepare, other than learning some of the language?

And I bet other cities are pretty bad too. If I was there 4 years ago and all I could see was gray skies, they must be surely not far from what beijing and shanghai are now [editline]7th December 2013[/editline] [url]http://aqicn.org/map/china/[/url]

The pollution mostly blew away by now but it was pretty heavy.

How did you come across the opportunity to study abroad?

[QUOTE=Swebonny;43065772]traditional symbols scare ne[/QUOTE] I'm Chinese. And traditional Chinese scares me too.

[QUOTE=GeneralMoosen;43101008]How did you come across the opportunity to study abroad?[/QUOTE] A summer and a half ago I started studying Chinese. I had to take a language elective the next year as a credit requirement so I figured, I have lots of Chinese friends, they can help me, I'll learn Chinese. So I study for it in advance with audiobooks, podcasts etc. (my job was very stand-still and boring). I don't get into the language course for some technicality but by now the language has grown on me so I keep studying. I also learn my Chinese friends are Cantonese and can't understand a word of my Chinese :v: I got an email to all students from the international department. I think, study abroad sounds cool, I can practice my Chinese in China without losing a school year, sign me up! I'm ready to go and submit the application and get placed in Jiangsu, China to study for a year. The only problem is that Jiangsu is entirely Chinese language and astrophysics is hard enough in English let alone Chinese. I requested them for a new placement and they put me in HK.

How much crime is commited there?

Simplified Chinese scares me

I have friends that are Chinese I visited Shanghai for a month with them the summer before last. Also visited Hangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, and Luzhi. I'd consider studying there if I was paid a lot (because apparently you get paid a lot if you actually study there instead of doing abroad studying) but I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with the living conditions.

[QUOTE=SubZer056;43109704]How much crime is commited there?[/QUOTE] Nothing visible so far. [editline]8th December 2013[/editline] Apart from counterfeit bills. 100 kuai notes are notorious for being counterfeited.
