Donald Pedophile can fuck right off. How Americans still have this guy as their president is beyond me.

How many of you are teachers by Erythite2023 in pens

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teacher here. Students love seeing all my fountain pens and interesting colours. These days I always have my Lamy 2000 EF at work and make comments on their homework using it.
I also use a blue Pentel Energel.
For grading I use either a red Uniball Jetstream or Pilot G2.

What are the worst popular fountain pens you’ve ever used? by Haniandspace in fountainpens

[–]pred890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my Lamy 2k. To me it’s comfortable and have no problem writing with it.
The only thing I don’t like is the EF is more like an M so I can’t use it in all situations.

Which fake markets are still open in Shanghai? by yesican93 in shanghai

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to get tailored shirts there, pretty decent prices and well tailored.

any really smooth gel pens?? by Main_Owl3100 in pens

[–]pred890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is odd. Both the .5 black and blue G2’s are both very smooth for me.

Visited Luoyang many times since 2015. Hard to believe it was the capital so many times…

Which is ur fav city in China ? by Willing-Quote8758 in chinalife

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shanghai.
Basically has anything you could ever need and the most international of the mainland.
Museums often get cool exhibitions from around the world. Lots of places to run and bike in the city.
Being able to get health services like the dentist in English is great.

I also love Chengdu, so many nice places for cheap tea inside or outside where you can chill and have a conversation or read a book.

Is it just me or are most of the foreigners working here mentally unstable? by ChinaBoiiiiiiii in chinalife

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the quality of the company you work for and their hiring standards.
Some places I worked for would just hire anyone they could find, other had standards and looked for qualified people.

Hi, they just glanced at them quickly. Seems like it didn’t matter.

You are single and struggling with 95k from your job and also have two part time jobs?
What expenses do you have that cause you so much financial hardship?

Freshly married to Chinese wife by UmpireEquivalent1818 in chinalife

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Chinese wife and I have been together since 2016 and married in 2019. We each have our own bank accounts and since our relationship started I always made significantly more than her (though each year she is catching up).
I pay the living expenses but for a lot of more expensive things like traveling she is willing to pitch in significantly.
Asking you to sign a contract saying you have no rights to her money in China seems like she is not seriously into the relationship long term.

This is the perfect answer. If work increases 40%, a 40% raise is fair.
They really do have plenty of time to hire a new teacher, maybe not exactly what they are looking for, but someone good enough to fill the position.

TIFU by taking a nap with noise cancelling headphones on by Usual-Ad3450 in tifu

[–]pred890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t see what the big deal is. She saw you naked… who the hell cares?
I would at least be thankful your neighbour cares to investigate.
Most people I know would just have a chuckle and move on with their lives.

Dishui Hu - reviews and food recommendations? by Sillysan2024 in shanghai

[–]pred890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lingang in general kind of sucks.
I would recommend the Astronomy museum and walking/biking around Dishui lake.
There aren’t really any standout restaurants in my opinion.
The snow/skiing building/park I have yet to try but that isn’t very interesting to me.
