ok so i have a new chinese couple moving in (which is cool) however in 1 day there has been a whole sort of changes which i have seen, like the place smelling of ginger, flourescent sandles about, spices ive never heard of taking up 2 shelves where our glassware used to be, and when I went to take a shower, I saw a toothpaste dispenser where i usually put my soap! (is it me or is that a bit strange?) I'm totaly cool and excited about learning new cultures, its just this is my first time living with someone who is very asian- what other things should I be prepared to encounter when living with folks from the far east so it doesn't completely throw my western way of living out of wack? :)

Hahaha, why, after saying "I have a new chinese couple moving in" did you feel the need to say "(Which is cool)"?
do you mean
"no, its cool, honestly, I don't mind, I'm not a racist like my folks"
or do you mean
"How cool is that? some really cool chinese people ! That's so trendy right now !"

I had a friend once who was having a bunch of friends round for a dinner. It was his first time at having a grown-up dinner party even though he was about 27 at the time.
Afterwards I asked him how it went. He said "Yeah it went really well, everyone was there and I met so-and-so's new boyfriend who's a really cool black bloke... which was cool"
I just... I... eh? what? fucking hell.
- isn't it ok for black blokes to be really cool. or should he have said "super fly"mydo
- Its the middle class white excitement that leads to 'cool' being the default state of 'black blokes'Orbit
- Robert Parissi: Play that funky music white boy.
Orbit: Racist!Peter - Right. I'll errr... I'll let you win this one I think. Well done.
* backs away slowly.Orbit - You are on qbn to win?
WIN!Peter - maybe he was a black bloke who happened to be cool? is there EVER an ok way to say this?sputnik2
- Would it be necessary to tell me he was black then?Orbit
- ie in answer to your question, the correct way to tell me there was a really cool person at the dinner would be...Orbit

ok so i have a new chinese couple moving in and they have made themselves feel at home by actually using the environment as though it is their own living space, and letting their presence here influence the ambience and I'm not happy about it at all. I kind of expected them to stay in their room and not be a nuisance to my routine. I'm totally cool with learning new cultures and stuff, just... on the TV, not in my fucking house GET BACK IN YOUR ROOM AND STOP MAKING SMELLS.
(which is cool)

somehow you equate a toothpaste dispenser with a 'new culture'. hahaha. fuck dude, you need some exposure to some other lifestyles and thinking by the sounds. embrace it and you might like it. if not, just shag the wife and they'll move out.

yeah, my old flatmate was gay, which is cool. you know, i'm accepting of the fact that he's living an existence against dog's will and i want to kill him for liking cock but i really want to come across and open and accepting. you know, the complete opposite of what i obviously am.

I lived with a chinese guy once. He was FRESH off the boat too, and had fucking NO CLUE how to function in Nottingham (where I was studying).
He first thought that the house we were living in was with a family and that I would be cooking him all his meals and doing his washing.
His weekly shops at sainsbury's were interesting too. Then he found the Chinese supermarket and all made sense.
He once showed me some really bad Canto-Porn too, which was amusing.

I lived with a French girl who once presented me with a burnt piece of toast, and in all seriousness, asked me if it was safe to eat.
I shared a room with guy from UAE in my first year of Uni. He had servants back home, and could do nothing for himself. I taught him how to boil, scramble and fry eggs and he lived off that for a year. I bought him his first beer. He fell over. I bought an 8th of pot, and he proper shat his pants and was convinced that police with guns would turn up and that he'd die in cross fire.
I lived with a German girl who refused to wash because she thought the water came DIRECTLY from the river thames. She went to the public pool instead.
It was all good fun. It was the other british that I had to share with that were all fucking wankers.
