Hey yah guess what I'm leaving for China this monday.
It should kick some ass...you know I'll catch a lot of pokemon...talk to the poketrainers. And I hear you can get beer in 40 packs there...
Um so im in Beijing for about a week...then inland to Chendu in the Sichuan Provence for a week or two and then Shanghai at the end. Anyone been to china? like how many pokeballs should I bring? any real advice?
But yah I'll Be back in about 4 weeks...so stay cool, and take it easy! :mrgreen:
Actually, Pokemon originates from Japan. That is why the series is called 'Anime'.
My friends actually going to China in a week or so.
Alot of her family lives there.

If you don't believe me, look it up! Japanese episodes come a year b4 they arrive in the USA, and I think 2 years b4 the UK.
Same goes for the games (like that Mysterious Dungeon game I have to get my hands on!)

Have a good time shark! Be sure to send us a postcard.
lol that reminds me of when my mom thought it was called "Jap-anime" vinstead of "japanime"
me and my brother teased her for ages
China is on my todo list. Man am I envious! :mrgreen:
My wife's sister-in-law is Chinese, and her advise was "Don't go camping in the country - they'll rob you."
So there you go, have a nice trip :D
I have friends teaching English there for the the last couple years, and anywhere you go is going to be awesome.
Happy Trails.
Shark!
Bring me back an order of shrimp lo mein with a side of crab rangoon, a tight little chinese acrobat chick and any secret Shaolin monk literature you might just happen to "borrow" along the way! :wink:
I'm good for it, yo! :goodjob2:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
awesome! sounds like fun, shark.
my uncle has an adopted son from china. they're going to get another, just as soon as they get approval from the chinese guv'mint. probably within a couple of months.
you will need 5 pokeballs because pokeregulations say that a trainer can only carry 5 pokemon on his or her person at one time. and in china, if they find you in violation of any pokeregulations they remove your pokeballs... with chopsticks.
also be sure to get your fill of the internet before you go over... chinese government doesn't really enjoy... information.
hah nesgirl fine pokemon are only in japan...way to wreck the dream! :cry: ..im kidding..and you knew
yah Phowaboy I missed out on an oppurtnity to teach english for four months...I had it all planned out but it fell through...w/e..oh and no im not camping.
I hope you can get to china some time seeker!
I'll try and send a postcard or visit an internet cafe maybe.
heh I'll try to bring back some food orders...although I can't read chinese and will prolly just point to a few of those crazy picture word things on a menu..and see what i get, hopefully it doesnt look like a child or something.
yah ive heard of google's censoring in china...
anyways see ya all...keep it real G's chu!
Well, wasn't there an article about the great Poke-migration of 2002? Yah, they're all over China! :roll:Quote:

Same here.
Ni Hao ma!?
...anyways I did china. It was a pretty exciting place. Uh first night in Beijing we pulled a cliche tourist move...went out drinking at a club and it turned out to be some chinese gay bar. And for some strange reason we went back later that night(there was a good reason to go back, i think? cant really remeber though)...and at first we saw what we thot were girls in the club...but I'll never forget the look on my friends face...when one of trannys came up beside him (he was drunk enough to think it was a girl up to this point) and said in a low chinese accented voice..wanna dance.... yah in beijing we saw the sights of Mao's tomb and the great wall, Tien'amen square and forbidden city.
We went to a smaller town and stayed at a school there. I especially enjoyed the 25cent bottles of beer and the even cheaper cigaretts, cigars and hard liquor (i dont smoke..but at those prices why not...I quit when i came back to the taxed-out prices in canada)
Anwys the trip was great...I did see some pokemon (some people call what i saw "birds" or "lady bugs" but yah...i knew they were gd pokemon mostly from red and blue version.)
Btw yes i did more than drink and smoke i learned important things such as culture and talking to people my age growing up in a far different, but deep down similar world as mine.
has anyone been to the Shanghai dance club Rojam? its pretty cool, check it out if you go there. It was great...especially as some rich chinese guy named "Craig Knife" bought me and my friends Hennessey, beer and white russians all night...other than buying foreigners drinks Craig K. also enjoys drunken chants with us saying either "Fuck George Bush!" or "Fuck America!" lol...those crazy chinese! (btw nothing against you american's we didnt mean it)
Another exciting thing i would recomend to only the stupidist ppl here is try eating a large amount of chinese hash before making your way through the post 9/11 Shainhigh airport...very intense I will never do that again...
The trip was really great if you ever have a chance to go to china go for it...the people are very hospitable...and the english translations of information signs are often hilarious, but never completely correct...
so hows dv anything new? it looks different...and there were 52 pages of messages since my last visit. maybe ill put up some pictures of the trip sometime too
welcome back, shark! funny thing, earlier today, i was idly wondering to myself when you were gonna be back . . .
anyway, i don't remember if you told us why you were going.
also, post some pictures soon!
Did you bring a Pokemon?
Wow awesome. Sounds like you had lots of good times over there. Enjoy the cheap goods? I bet you spent like 10 dollars in total for all your meals. :content:
Actually that's all American food I think.Quote:

Welcome back Shark, time to start our race again!

yah I will work on pictures...im lazy though...
IDK about crab ragoon...lo mein is a type of noodle there. But yah I think you are right...the Chinese food I've had here in North America...is far different than the Chinese food I ate in china...I didnt see any chickenballs or eggrolls or pretty much anyhting we have here...although north america chinese food is just as good sometimes.
Hahaha. That was great. I'd pick it apart and highlight the funniest parts of that post, but the whole damn thing was hilarious.Quote:

did you bring back a level 10 pikachu? because i would be willing to trade it for my level 17 jigglypuff (the pikachus from china are better).
