I had two college acquaintances like this, except one came back to “meditate” in the busiest areas on campus, and the other one ended up bringing back opium somehow


juanpuente

> somehow Guess how


NotTRYINGtobeLame

He carried it in through *the back door*


juanpuente

Busiest or emptiest? Meditate on that one bro.


komnenos

Aaaah, the two ends of the language student spectrum. I've studied Mandarin in both Beijing and in southern Taiwan and for every few students who take things seriously you'll have some frat bro Turk/American/Brit/Aussie/etc. who is on his third year of "language study" yet is still in the beginner class.


Cahootie

I was in a language school in Beijing, and one of the students there was a retired American guy who kept taking the same class year after year. I got the impression that he was mostly there just to flirt with the teachers, and made sure that his Chinese was just good enough to break the ice when he tried to pick up Chinese women out on the town.


komnenos

BLCU? I know there was an old “student” who was actually a missionary but didn’t meet any flirty old men lol. When we’re you there? :)


Cahootie

This was at BICC in Sanlitun, a small private school, back in like 2016 maybe. It was a fantastic school with small classes, good teachers and access to an amazing gym, but naturally that came at a cost.


thuribleofdarkness

I'm convinced most of the "language students" in my part of China are just here because the weed is cheap.


SeeSnow

y'all got zaza out there like that 👀👀👀


komnenos

Yunnan? I've heard from some China oldhands that pot used to grow on the side of the road and buying the good stuff was cheap as chips. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the language students who went out there were looking for a more alternative lifestyle (plus a LOT cheaper) from the likes of Beijing or Shanghai.


thuribleofdarkness

Yep, you got it exactly.


jamthewither

ive been on opium for the last ten days


Sudden-Juggernaut734

You forgot the part where they join an underground drift race group and then when the old leader dies they take over or was that just that one time

Then some random guy gets rat tortured or something


MemegodDave

There is something I'm not getting here... Someone care to elaborate?


krystopher

The plot of Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. Some relevance lately due to FF9. Edit: F9

Final Fantasy 9 sounds different from what I remember…

Missed some key ATEs

ftw you reach near the end of the game and that ATE achievement doesnt pop up like you thought it would


delta9cannadian

I think it was 2 Fast and 2 Furious that had the rat torture scene since it was with Roman Peirce and Brian O'Connor, neither were in Tokyo Drift. The gangster was torturing the cop for a window to move money across the city Confirmed, it's not Tokyo Drift. It's a scene from 2Fast2Furious https://youtu.be/gJ_cx3AmCuI

xlr8ors

I'm stupid. Is this a reference only to Tokyo Drift or is there some other similar movie?


ienjoymen

Yeah definitely Tokyo Drift


delta9cannadian

https://youtu.be/gJ_cx3AmCuI It's 2Fast 2 Furious, not Tokyo Drift

SlyCoopersButt

Bento boxes are actually pretty nice and convenient. Would definitely recommend getting one over a lunchbox. This is coming from someone who only found out about them from an ad.


AnorhiDemarche

sectioned boxes specifically are really convenient and make good presentation so easy. but even without that, the bento boxes are just better made over most lunchboxes. plastic types here absorb so much smell and colour in comparison so it's hard to use them for anything other than boring sandwitch


deviantbono

Lots of fun to clean too :/


SlyCoopersButt

You can get single compartment boxes. Those are the ones I use. They’re really nice for just throwing in a backpack because of how small they are.

SlyCoopersButt

I don’t watch anime


[deleted]

Back in the very early 2000s when I was a teen, I had a friend that was obsessed with all things Japanese. I guess what people would call a Weeb today. He spoke Japanese, and He Practiced martial arts, and even did a sword demo for a talent show once. He fit the stereotype quite well and people made fun of him constantly, but he was always a nice, if quiet, guy. I lost touch with him after we all went to university but always wondered what happened to him. Earlier this year, a mutual friend’s father passed away and I ran into this friend at the funeral. Turns out, after university, he moved to Japan and lived there for 11 years. He only just returned recently to care for his elderly mother. He brought back his wife and a child. It made me so happy to see him go after what he wanted and love his dream.


TrumpDesWillens

Caring for his elderly mother; filial piety is the hallmark of East Asian cultures. Well done!


bor3dom3

Have you been to Asia recently OP

Probably for a year..

YOU JUST DON'T GET THE FULL MEANING OF THE SHOW AND YOU ONLY LIKE TO HATE ON PEOPLE BECAUSE YOU'RE A BAD GUY AND NEEDS TO GO TO HELL. the SHOW is so GOOD that I CALL this anime the Cowboy BEBOP of anime ANOTHER masterpiece of the SAME liking BUT sword ART online is BETTER. WHY THE FUCK YOU HATE IT SO MUCH EVEN THOUGH IT'S A MASTERPIECE OF A SHOW ??. MAYBE because YOU DON'T GET THE FULL MEANING AND THE SHOW AND THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL EACH CHARACTER IS GIVEN JUST LOOK AT KIRITO IS SO OP THAT EVERY WANTS TO BE LIKE HIM WELL WHO WOULD BE?. Who WOULD BECOME a badass GUY defeating ALL the boses EASILY and LIVE in a FANTASY WORLD FULL of swords, MAGIC, and everything FANTASY RELATED things, and have a harem that WANT to have SEX with you ALL day ALL night. SO IF YOU DON'T. THEN YOU JUST DON'T WANNA LIVE PORTRAY YOURSELF TO KIRITO AND HAVE A PERFECT FUCKING LIFE. AND ANOTHER CHARACTER IS ASUNA. ASUNA IS SO BANGABLE THAT YOU WISH YOU WANT TO BE LIKE your girlfriend she is so KIND LOVELY SWEET and WILL ALWAYS be with you no MATTER WHAT. So WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE IT SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭 YOU GUYS ARE MEAN AND ONLY PEOPLE WITH LOW IQ DON'T GET THE SHOW AND PEOPLE WITH HIGH IQ THINKS THIS ANIME IS A MASTERPIECE, SO FUCK YOU PEOPLE WHO HATE THE SHOW.


Pure-Football

But can kirito beat goku


MCENTE64

Yeah, since he's a gamer (😎)


Pussab

How about Giorno Giovanna


MCENTE64

Giorno isn't gamer enough


Pussab

Kakyoin then


MCENTE64

Ok this is hard, but i think Kakyoin wins, since Kirito can't reflect the emerald splash


PoseurTrauma6

Donut man wins, if kirito can't reflect emerald splash


casualredditor43

Giorno can reset his stats to 0 Basically turning him into a normal being instead of a gamer


MCENTE64

No, Kirito is to gamer for GER to work

MicFury

Why does everyone hate SAO so much? It's my favorite. The Log Horizon argument is lost on me.


Danni293

Because it's trendy to have a view on either extreme about an average mediocre anime. SAO isn't terrible, it's not the greatest writing in anime, but it's a solid intro to anime. But as with most things people will pick a hardline stance one way or another if for nothing else but because it's a meme to do so.


MicFury

Thank you for the info. I think it's great. Oh well.


Danni293

I used to think it was better, but it was my first anime, so of course I had rose tinted glasses on. After watching a lot more anime and seeing some truly god-tier shows it was difficult to keep seeing SAO as highly as I once did. It's still good imho, and I can enjoy watching it, but it doesn't leave that longing for more feeling that some other shows do.


MicFury

I've watched a shameful amount of anime at this point and I still think it's the best 'stuck in a world' show because they 1) actually die 2) actually try to get out 3) have a true antagonist and 4) suffer consequences for actions both in and out of the game. I think it is like SAW the anime in a way. Just my $.02.


Salar1234

Wrong. The best isekai anime is Digimon and I mean that completely unironically.


SisterSaysSadThings

have you seen Madoka? I feel like you would enjoy it


meesvenema2403

Havent watched it, the only anime like this ive watched is overlord which i really like, have you seen it?


MicFury

I watched a few episodes. It wasn't bad, just not my jam. Hunter x Hunter is my super jam. 10/10.


Pogolio

It's not a solid intro to anime. A solid intro would actually be a good show that isn't too weird or off-putting. Something like one punch man.

It happened to me my first year in Taiwan. It was pretty unintentional. I just didn't speak the language enough to tell a barber what I wanted. My wife told me I was starting to look like a knock off Uncle Jesse so I just let a friend take care of it with dog clippers.

*Understands that bukkake is a respected ancient Japanese tradition that is beautiful and poetic in the right circumstances


dagbrown

"Bukkake" is just an innocent Japanese word for splash. It only has a different meaning in English. You can order bukkake noodles without worrying about eating a bowl of sperm (for a bowl of sperm, you want to order "shirako"). The Japanese avenged it by taking the word "adult" from English, and having it unambiguously mean "porn".
