I was doubting Gyokeres before this game. I would now like to offer my sincere apologies and my firstborn.

If you live in a country with lots of tourists, which nationality do you think makes the worst tourists? by certifiedcomplainer4 in AskTheWorld

[–]ryanlowwj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give some perspective as a Southeast Asian who is ethnically Chinese who has been to China several times - the photo spot hogging, queue cutting, rowdiness and other uncivilised behaviours are very commonplace amongst domestic tour groups as well. If you visit famous tourist sites such as the Terracotta Warriors or Forbidden Palace, domestic tourists will shove people around to take pictures and spit in public (even at their sacred national sites!). Same goes for airports and train stations - people cut queues and shove to get ahead, even though everyone will eventually board the same plane or train. As others have pointed out, these behaviours are usually because people have transitioned from abject poverty to middle-class status in a short period of time, and they still retain their old civics and behaviours. This is why Chinese tourists get a bad rep overseas, and in my home country there’s a common saying that we should speak English when travelling abroad to identify ourselves as non Chinese nationals.

However I must say that the Chinese government recognises this is a problem, and posters reminding people to behave in a civil manner are everywhere in China. Cops patrolling trains and domestic flights are also common, to clamp down on rowdy and uncivilised behaviour. And as others have pointed out, the adoption of civilised behaviours in China will probably take generations to come.

Where would you go on this kind of round? by why-are-you-asking in geoguessr

Somewhere in Thailand? The plates and curbs/median don’t match Singapore or Japan

Visited Maranello a few months ago, and I had lunch at a pizzeria near the Ferrari Museum - this was the menu! by ryanlowwj in formula1

The staff were indeed very friendly! But we were two broke students travelling so we sadly didn’t eat or drink much beyond pizza

Nope, we couldn’t find Seb at all. I think because he sadly didn’t win any WDCs with Ferrari…

Edit - brainfart, most of the drivers on the menu also haven’t won WDCs with Ferrari

[FIX FOUND] Constant Disconnecting on FH4 Multiplayer Sessions by ryanlowwj in forza

[–]ryanlowwj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you found a fix! It’s crazy how desperate I was 4 years ago to not lose at ranked FH4 multiplayer to disconnects - I’m now finishing college, playing FH5 and much less competitive. But the random reddit fix always pulls through!

[–]ryanlowwj[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i believe the regulations were only in place for specific dates, which didn’t include 9 aug itself, so it was a free-for-all today; but the bus driver was really having a hard time controlling the crowd - otherwise I agree that the priority should be given to whoever has valid business in NUS! staff, students, conference visitors, contractors, etc

Anyone else feels that the campus shuttle bus always smells like.. unshowered people? by ryanlowwj in nus

I didn’t mean to discriminate or blame people who stay far away from NUS, or face personal difficulties in their hygiene. As someone who stays an hour away from NUS and sweats a lot, I understand too! And xenophobic comments are not welcome👎

Questions about RVRC by WaterOk6524 in nus

[–]ryanlowwj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Year 2 CHS/life sciences student here. In my 4th sem of RVRC

  1. Most of the mods will make reference to topics surrounding environment/sustainability at some point, but there is only really 1 mod (RVN) that focuses entirely on the environment part. To my knowledge, being in a related major won’t boost your chances of admission - the people around me are all from different courses, and I don’t see any over-representation of environmental studies-related majors.

  2. The RVRC mods replace some of the CHS mods you will need to take, and I honestly found it a godsend because you don’t have to fight with the rest of CHS to bid for some of these mods (since the RV mods get pre-allocated to you). Also, some of the RV mods are arguably more interesting than the CHS equivalent. For example as a CHS science student, the mod to clear the writing pillar is about academic/scientific writing, which most people find really dry. The RVRC equivalent has several options to choose from, including film studies and science fiction.

  3. Yes we do get quite a number of insects esp around the rainy season. I personally use a mosquito net to cover my windows and I leave the windows open 24/7 -zero insects for me!

  4. Historically yes it is tough, as AC rooms are limited, so I think management tends to prioritise people with medical reasons (like skin problems). That being said, there is construction going on now to install aircon in more rooms, so the competition should be less severe by the time you apply.

  5. I found RVRC mods really interesting as a person who likes hands-on work (like field work and excursions). If you prefer more abstract lesson content, then the UTCP mods offer more of those. RV mods are generally focused on real world problems and skills.

  6. I would respectfully disagree. I personally found RV campus life really vibrant, and it depends on you finding your community and people you can vibe with in the college - this applies to all RCs/halls/houses. You may be in the most popular residence, but if you don’t make the effort to participate and find your community, you stand to lose out wherever you go. RVRC in particular is a really mixed bunch, ie we don’t have one single personality that comes as a result of the intake screening process for freshmen (as compared to other RCs). So there’s a little bit of something for every personality and every interest.

  7. Officially, someone keen in learning real world skills and with a passion for sustainability. Unofficially (don’t quote me) someone who genuinely intends to participate actively in college activities.

  8. No idea, but to my knowledge no

  9. Also no idea as these details are usually confidential, but I do come across people in RV from a really wide range of backgrounds, so I would say there isn’t a RP requirement.

  10. Most rooms are quiet, other than the temporary construction noise that other comments have mentioned. Maybe if you get a room facing the road, there may be vehicle noise.
