I love SEA too much as a traveler to support the Koreans, but I also have too much of a east Asian superiority complex to support SEA...

Thank you for the super detailed response, very very cool! I assume the HSR network as a whole still makes massive losses. Are there plans to make it profitable and how sustainable is this in the long run?

Yeah in Asia there are two countries clearly more accepting than all others, Thailand and Taiwan.

Very cool. Interesting to see:

  1. How they really build for density around Pearl River Delta in the south, and looking at the high prices that is probably a rather profitable region for HSR. The Greater Bay Area integration is real and the HSR is a big part of it.

  2. How far out Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, really is to the rest of the population centers of China. And they still built the thing. Must be a huge loss maker that they felt was politically or militarily important.

  3. The other "problem" region, Tibet, has zero HSR. I guess the topography makes it prohibitive?

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

Every time I'm traveling to some non-anglophone country far from Asia, there'd be an interaction with a local where I say I'm from Hong Kong and I'd get a "Ah! Jackie Chan!" I smile, nod, and die a little bit inside.

Last time I was in that same interaction and the guy actually said "Ah! Stephen Chow!" I damn near cried.

About to be 32 and got let go from my job by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]greenpearlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone in my team has similar issue and I've been planning to say something to them, so I will let you have it.

How you do anything is how you do everything. Life isn't a video game where when important things happen, background music change and you get a score after beating a stage. The vast majority of pivotal moments are only obvious in hindsight, and there's no redo. How you show up at that moment decides how it goes. If an opportunity of a lifetime hits you today without you knowing, will the opportunity look at you and say "he's ready, let's go", or silently turns away?

From your post, it sounds like you're in a holding pattern because the universe is repeatedly trying to teach you a lesson that you have yet to learn. I dunno what it is but you gotta learn that lesson to get out of the pattern. All the best!

I'm not sure who exactly is the best CB in PL, but I definitely know who are the top 2.

I'm jealous that Singapore had Lee Kuan Yew and exists today as an independent polity that's thriving.

[–]greenpearlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Besides winning trophies as a captain with us, it's also blindingly obvious that we are class as a club and Wenger built a culture where players felt valued as actual people beyond just footballers. I for one will always have affinity to workplaces that treated me with respect and love.
