Monday, March 12, 2007 - Randomness So some people may have heard of the site "Overheard in New York", which is basically a forum for all those lovely conversation people listen in on in NY. Stockholm has a similar site, so naturally, I did a search for Beijing. Western and Chinese humor are still very, very different. (From OiNY) Hobo standing and applauding as Asian guy walks by: Yeah! Woo-hoo! You're Chinese! Yeah! Go for you! Woo! Asian guy: I don't have the heart to tell him I'm Korean. --8th & 6th--> (From an article about Overheard in Beijing, in Chinese - freely translated by me) Guy: "Is this bus 973?" (he asks because the digital screen is partially broke, and the 9, missing a few lightbulbs, has turned into a 5.) ...... If you're waiting for a punchline, you're gonna be waiting for a long time. On the other hand, to be completely fair, the Chinese site did include a conversation that made me burst out laughing, but it's not a very... appropriate conversation. So we'll leave it at that. Now I'm waiting for the sandstorms... |
