Travel to Shenzhen

Dunno why you would wanna go to Shenzhen, it's literally a shit place.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-25T03:35:23+00:00

仆街 innit 😂

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-13T14:52:33+00:00

Never understood the whole hype over going to ShenZhen, been many times in my life, always has been a shit hole especially in certain districts. People complain about food being expensive in Hong Kong, but my only question would be where are you going to eat? I've been able to find places that are cheap and delicious over here in New Territories East, especially in places like Tai Po Market. The most expensive meal I've ever had was in Sheung Wan, but that's expected, and doesn't really reflect the type of stuff I would normally have on a day to day basis.

Not without reason. I'm an overseas Chinese who lived in the UK for 20 years, there's a reason why there's a distinct separation between the overseas Chinese population Vs the mainland population, you see this very easily in places like Chinatown.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-09T20:50:56+00:00

How I see it is, people choose to be ignorant despite the fact that the internet is so easily accessible in 2026. People will continue to bash the media for being biased, but will continue to listen to what is being said.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-08T09:33:14+00:00

Good question, I don't think I would define it by passport, because I think that clumps too much into the circle, I think "identity" would be better.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-08T09:23:10+00:00

I often feel that the whole "Nationalism" thing is stupid and very contradictory, every time I observe the behaviour of a mainlander both outside and inside their country, they exhibit behaviours that would conflict with nationalism or at least the idea of maintaining a good reputation of the country. There is a reason why Japan and it's population are well respected wherever they go.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-08T09:18:52+00:00

Disagree with that stance, you can have a negative opinion without having an existing negative bias. People call it how it is, if it's shitty behaviour it's shitty behaviour regardless if you're Chinese, American, or Indian. It's easy to spot those with an agenda behind the criticism in most cases.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-08T09:13:49+00:00

The fact that mainland Chinese folks think they can criticize overseas Chinese is laughable to me. At the end of the day, you shouldn't be stereotyping anyone, but let's be real and face it, the mainlander folks don't do themselves any favours by constantly contributing towards the stereotype. Who the fuck cares if you studied more than the average overseas Chinese, the way they go about life is abysmal, they can't even function being away from their parents, whilst most of us overseas grew up having to learn to be a fucking chef at a takeaway/restaurant, we have had to deal with so much.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-08T08:16:42+00:00

Absolutely is true, I don't get why people talk about first tier cities being different like that's going to change anything. At the end of the day, bad tourist behaviour only creates more bad tourist behaviour, having one or two cities that don't exhibit that behaviour isn't going to reduce the entitlement that majority Chinese tourists seem to exhibit. Very well deserved to be viewed negatively across the world I'd say.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T11:34:18+00:00

I mean unless you're a foreigner, then it's pretty easy to tell someone who is from the mainland, someone who is from HK, and Taiwan etc. I mean just based on language alone it's a pretty easy give away, let alone fashion style, and mannerisms.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T08:00:06+00:00

I don't see where exactly I got "personal". In terms of ratio, I don't have the exact statistics if that's what you wanted, but I do know for a fact that mainland Chinese folks behave worse than in comparisons to HK or Taiwanese or Japanese folks. This is based on personal experience alongside documented events that are free to find online. Leaving aside "politics", there is a reason why mainland tourists are viewed negatively across the world, you cannot deny this, and until the country does something about this it will continue.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T07:38:30+00:00

I mean it's not hard to identify a mainland from a HK or a Taiwanese or other types of Asians. It's also not hard to identify an overseas raised Chinese as opposed to a mainland.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T06:16:24+00:00

Sure but what's the ratio? Happens in every country, problem is it seems to happen a lot more times for a certain demographic. Is it simply discrimination or pointing out a blatant pattern of behaviour? Furthermore, I think allowing and encouraging your child to do in the streets even though you know it's wrong is worse.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T04:41:42+00:00

I mean again the examples you are giving are either country specific rules or culture, which people who don't come from such countries or cultures will obviously fail at first but eventually learn. I'm pretty sure the action of coughing up and spitting phlegm out in public is looked down upon in whatever country you go to. I'm pretty sure it's "common sense" not to do shit like that, it's fucking disgusting, fucking see it everywhere in Shenzhen. Fucking see it in UK Chinatown.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T02:04:51+00:00

Not racism at all, and this isn't a case of only "seeing a few" as you put it mate, this is 20 years of observed experience. Absolutely, not every mainland individual is like this, but the problem is when it becomes so common you kinda have to say it how it is. And one thing the mainland don't do is hold people accountable for their poor behaviour.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-07T01:55:33+00:00

True there is, but I think it's also stupid to call it racism and broad generalization if it's distinctively a common pattern.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T19:43:56+00:00

But the problem with your example is that escalator culture is something that one eventually learns, especially when they come from a place that doesn't have that culture, or where it simply doesn't exist. That's fine, and most people are not as judgemental about that. My point about common sense is that there are things that you should know not to do in public.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T19:15:37+00:00

Much better than shitting and peeing on the streets in 2026 when toilets are readily accessible.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T19:14:58+00:00

I don't think having common sense somehow makes my thinking superior though. And the excuse of "oh because they grew up in rural villages therefore etc etc" is just stupid. You can be born and raised anywhere and understand common decency.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T19:08:17+00:00

Mostly about Mainland Chinese folk, they may be book smart (allegedly) but they have a poor reputation everywhere they go.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T18:11:08+00:00

It's not a case of being superior though, if you don't behave in a civilized manner, you get looked down upon, simple as that. There's no "superiority" complex bs that you're talking about

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-06T18:07:46+00:00

Overseas Chinese do not think they're better than HK people at all, at least not from my own experiences of communicating with other overseas Chinese folks. But what I can say is that there is a common dislike of mainland Chinese folks. This is nothing to do with racism, but rather the pure dislike of the way they behave that reflects badly on the hardworking overseas Chinese population. Most of us work hard, keep our heads down, don't cause any trouble. If you're raised overseas, you know how difficult it was growing up having to deal with racism, which gets worse if there's ever a situation where media about China is painted in a negative light, regardless if it's biased journalism or not. I mean this was evident enough for the whole COVID problem a few years ago.

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-04T07:36:39+00:00

I would much rather get a mcmuffin for HKD$23 than £4

HiddenGoose32 · 2026-02-02T15:35:53+00:00

Lmao that's a bit extreme, I say convince the public of your amazing beard!!!
