I've worn nail polish exactly one time in my life. I was 16 and also got alcohol poisoning. What were you guys doing at that age?

Do you still use a skillet to dab? You were one of the first people to take to dabbing like I did 10 years ago.

Not knocking the skillet, it's just that was one of the first rigs to come out, and thought I'd bring it up in case you forgot.

Yes, and have only taken brakes due to lack of funds which is exceedingly rare and is almost impossibly painful.

And yeah I love my fucking skillet. I'm not a fan of a nail and dome, I still love the skillet. <3

Did you pick up on Mandarin or Cantonese?

Mandarin. Also, I've seen that video, dude has more of an accent than me, but he's still good. That experience in the restaurant was basically my life until age 20 or so. Beijing was a fun place to grow up, felt lawless. I was going clubbing at 13 and stuff. It has changed a lot now, especially post-olympics.

I don't know enough to tell good from really good so I'll take your word for it.

I think you may run into this situation a lot more in your life, however. Whenever I go to an "authentic" chinese restaurant (literally anywhere in the world from the US to Malta) my partner somehow ends up in a long conversation making them laugh all in Mandarin and then almost every single time they will speak in english to me with a huge grin saying how good his accent is.

I get the feeling that most Chinese outside of mainland china use Cantonese only. They are always super impressed with his Mandarin but at the same time I think they prefer Cantonese. It's all such a complex culture vibe.

Yeah, it has been really useful in my life, a lot of opportunities I might otherwise not have had. As for restaurants, it's pretty sweet. Sometimes they'll take extra care with the food or if I ask for a dish that's not on the menu, often times they'll make it for me. Hell, I've had times where they invited me to go sing at a KTV with them and get drunk. I've had my meal comped a few times too, especially if the owner is there and he wants someone to talk about the "foreigners" and doing business with them or stuff that's going on back "home" in China. I dunno, it is fun, but sometimes you can feel a bit like a zoo animal, like some kind of circus novelty. Funniest was when I would be hanging out with my buddy who's American born Chinese and people would automatically come up to him and start speaking in rapid fire Chinese. I'd respond in Chinese while he barely spoke. People would always do s total double take. He's way more American than me and grew up in Connecticut haha

antidisestablishmentarianism I used to always have my friends spell that word when they can’t even say it or pronounce it. Lol
Antidisestablishmentarianism (/ˌæntidɪsɪˌstæblɪʃmənˈtɛəriənɪzəm/ ( listen), US also /ˌæntaɪ-/ ( listen)) is a position that advocates that a state Church should continue to receive government patronage, rather than be disestablished.
