Guangzhou: My 6 "Deadly" Culture Shocks – You've Been Warned!
-
What an idiot. Thriftiness is a traditional Chinese virtue, you know...
-
They mean we're 'stingy' (a term older folks might use, literally 'wet bones'). Besides, why should someone they don't even know be generous to them? Right?
-
It's precisely because of people like the first commenter that the second commenter (being in Guangdong) then leads to the situation described by the sixth commenter.
-
Hahahahahaha, that's hilarious!
-
That second point is directed right at you!

Everyone, don't blame them. Actually, sometimes I find them quite pitiful. It seems like their life has nothing else to do but slander Guangdong. Self-awareness is important; good things don't need constant promotion. Similarly, no matter how much you try to tarnish its reputation, you can't. It's like a Ferrari – you don't need to tell the world it's a good car. Africa and India are poor enough, right? But you don't see daily news reports about their poverty, do you?

Clearly a 'laotou' (derogatory term for a non-Cantonese speaking mainlander). Go check out Tee Mall or a five-star hotel, and you wouldn't want to leave for even a minute.
-
If you could afford to spend, you wouldn't be calling people 'stingy'.
-
Then just go wherever it's cool for you.
-
Go quickly! Go on! Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, go!
-
Hahahaha, as a Northeasterner in Guangzhou, I'd say Guangzhou is really great... as long as you ignore all the non-human creatures.

I'm currently living in an older residential complex, but the apartment is newly renovated. I really hope there are no cockroaches, or I'll die!
