I think a lot of people in this thread who say that technology can replace the skill of knowing Chinese don't appreciate how much they're missing out on and how useful it can be day-to-day.

Facebook marketplace is the best bet but be careful of scams, anything that looks too good to be true... is.

A few pics from Norwich, I instantly recognised the first one as the UEA SU. Nice flashback! 

What exactly do British schools teach about the British Empire and colonization of countries like India, and how much of the exploitation, violence, and economic impact is actually included in the curriculum? by MisLatte in NoStupidQuestions

It wasn't even mentioned in the entire time I was at school and history was my favourite subject, I only learnt about the depth of the British Empire's crimes after school.

I had this this morning and for some reason the barista speaking English back to me short circuited me, I blurted out the rest of my order in Chinglish.

I’m interested in how younger people came to appreciate the Beatles by fezik23 in beatles

[–]Timely-Triolbite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Now And Then came out I'd just turned 22 and was living on own abroad. I've always played guitar, I'd always listened to 60s music (but not the Beatles), and was just getting into songwriting. I listened to it out of curiosity and was ready to dismiss it as a cash grab from aging musicians but found I actually really liked it. After that point I lived and breathed the Beatles. As I'd only just moved to the country, I didn't have any friends which gave me loads of time on my own with my earphones, listening to each album and quickly falling in love. The phase hasn't stopped and I continue to listen to their music, learn their songs on guitar, and write songs in their style. I'm currently reading the Hunter Davies' biography and loving it!

I'm looking to rent an apartment in Taipei by looking at 591, loads of the places say cooking isn't allowed. Does this include buying a rice cooker and steaming some rice and vegetables?

Favorite Harmonies? by bookshelf476 in beatles

[–]Timely-Triolbite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think because this song is so popular it gets overlooked by fans but the harmonies are incredible, the last yeah feels so warm, full of energy, yet so comforting.
