# It's unlikely you're blocking them
if you don't know what they are. It's something you'd have to jump through a few hoops to enable.

I'm guessing it's China. They're cunts.

# Ha hah, looks like
Might have to cut down my b3ta lurking lest they notice and block this too, whatever would I do with myself?!

And thanks to the guys that suggested suggestiony things up there ^^^

# Dress up in overly slutty, yet impractical battle gear
and take over the country!

# I'm gonna lose a bit of weight first
Use my female wiles to the utmost extent*

# Christ, I remember being in a police station in Beijing about 7 years ago...
We'd been caught smoking a joint (fucking stupid of us, I know). Here's a little snippet I remember like it was yesterday:

Me: "I didn't realise it was illegal"

Policeman: "You should have checked first. China is not training, it is battle"

My mate: "Are we going to jail?"

Policeman: "You could pay me 4000 yuan (back then about AU$1000), or spend the night in a cell"

Me: "I'll spend the night in the cell then"

Policeman: "It is not up to you to decide"

Suffice it to say that my holiday was cut short due to lack of funds.

# Hahaha! Too typical!
"Here's a choice that we're going to decide for you".

'Net access for the entire country is run through a government proxy server. They decide what you can see and what you can't. I find this detestable.

# I feel sorry for a lot of the locals -
You should see the Chinese version of a housing estate - over 20 identical skyscrapers in one big block, with only a symbol on the front to separate them.

(almost literally)Paper thin walls, too.

# If I had paper thin walls
I'd buy my all of my hot neighbors bright hallogen lamps and watch their silhouettes on my walls.

# That could work.
Mind you, it got quite frustrating listening to my neigbours arguing every morning. It came from three different directions one time.

# You could take the high road
and loudly mediate for the most innapropriate solution.

# I would have tried,
But my Chinese is limited to phrases like "I don't want it", "No money", or "You have no arsehole, and you can't even shit".

On reflection, maybe I should have done that...

# Yep you have to be EXTRA extra careful over here
And i feel your pain with the fine, i only get paid 3000 in a month!

# I really only have myself to blame.
We were feeling lucky and decided to smoke outdoors, not 100 metres away from a guy that had a machine gun. About 2 blocks away from Tiananmen Square.

One of my stupidest moments...

# Don't get me wrong,
there's plenty of awesome shit in China, but I really did get the feeling that there were lots of things that they don't want us Laowai to see.

edit: another stupid moment - i thought you'd replied to my post above. It should be mentioned that I'm quite tipsy right now.

# Don't worry, it builds character.
Helps give you a bit of perspective when you're complaining about your home country.
