Chinese culture + cars = going bonkers and destroying the world
I've recently been told that some Chinese people 'look down on me' for not driving a car to work. I did mention that I don't need a car because i only live 400 meters from where I work. Apparently this is irrelevant and I am loosing face! :eek2:
Some of my neighbors are also angry and annoyed with me because they have imported BMW 7 series, Mercedes Benz and Porsche Cayennes and more recently expensive 4 wheel drives like hummers and Range Rovers. I don't look at their cars in an impressed enough way or compliment them on their fantastic choice of super expensive gas guzzler they don't need and can't drive competently, I'm so freakin' rude! :lol8:

Kind of true
They buy cars they can't drive
They buy gadgets, they can't use
They buy pets who are defenseless
I once suggested, instead of buying the above, get t-shirts with silver, golden or diamond writing (depending on the level of richness): "I am rich"
That would save the world a lot of worries :icon10:
Re: Chinese culture + cars = going bonkers and destroying the world
I incessantly get asked by my collegues when i am ever going to start worrying about my face a little and stop driving my bikes to work. No amount of rational answers will stop them pestering me with this.
I am white, therefore i am rich, therefore i should be in a car.

I'm not sure who's worse, Felix and ZMC for not having cars, or me for driving a Chinese car and washing it myself. What a bunch of peasants we are.
Cheers!
