Speaking of Asian people down under, when I was 19 I moved away from the USA to study in Australia. I had only really ever heard Asian people speak with an American accent, or accent from whatever country they may or may not have been from. I had a seminar class and this stereotypical skinny, glasses wearing, nerdy kind of East Asian dude raised his hand to speak. Turned out he had one of the thickest Aussie accents I'd ever heard up to that point, it shook me to my very core. I'll never forget that day, the day I learned that Asians can be heaps Aussie.
I guess that's my story of treating Asians as perpetual foreigners, as a white dude. But it never shocked me to hear Asians with any sort of American accent prior to that and I don't think I ever treated Asians as outsiders in the USA, so I should have understood that ya'll can assimilate
in other countries as well.

Is that color banding in the sky from Flickr's compression or is my monitor dying again?

I don't have any color banding on my end so I guess it's one of those two options. Maybe. Or I'm blind and just don't see what you are seeing.
Edit: I was looking on mobile earlier and didn't see what you were talking about, now I'm on my computer and yeah, that must be some flickr compression or something. Just compared it to the original file and it's not there. Weird.
Weird. I thought Flickr didn't have compression... I get the same thing when I upload things onto FB too.
500px is the only service I use that doesn't color band my photos... but no one really uses 500px :/
Tsingtao, Suntory and Max?
haha i work near 500px. so tempted to go in, and be like hire me!

Just baked pineapple buns for the first time! (Ugly) success!
Anyone been to Laos? Thinking about heading down there tomorrow or the next day and just having a wander... I know literally zero about the place, except that in my hometown in California Laotians all made donuts.
Any particular food I should eat or places I should go? I would have maybe a week or so to hang out and wander around.

Thanks 😁 Haven't been to Melbourne in like ummm...9 years now? Need to get back. So many places to go.
Oh damn those look amazing. What's your recipe?

They don't look ugly, they look like pineapple buns!
Any filling?
Thanks! I forgot to knead them when I divided them in to balls so they look a little lumpy underneath hah.
No filling, I like them as they are, although I did double up on the topping recipe.
Thanks!! Got 7 hours to spare? I'll type it up for you later!
That Great Wall thread got me thinking. How do you guys feel about English-language period films in an Asian setting? I just can't take them seriously and automatically dismiss them. On the other hand, this doesn't help Asian-American actors that might get roles in such movies. Not that The Last Emperor winning multiple Oscars did anything for John Lone's career. I just want them to get a wider variety of opportunities in film instead, not just 'Asian film, but in English'.

If I was watching anything historical, I'd want the langauge to reflect whatever is supposed to be spoken in that country. I would not want to watch a historical Spanish film in English, for example.

I had to eat Ramyun with a fork this weekend, because there was no chopsticks.
It felt so wrong.

I'm fine with it, except for the white savior lead. Like, it's already in English; we don't need to have the story told through a white protagonist's perspective every time.
I would have preferred Chinese or something like that but the show seems clearly a Hollywood production aimed at westerners. Same with Netflix's Marco Polo. However, I really appreciate the language switch for such shows like Narcos and The Man in High Castle. Germans speak German, Japanese speak Japanese, and Colombian speak Spanish, even if sometimes they got some funny accent haha.
Hahaha, or maybe something like Marco Polo where everyone speaks with a different English accent.
edit: I haven't watched Season 2 yet. Is it any good? I kind of lost interest by the last couple of episodes in S1...

I dunno about the thread but the video was a bit better than I thought based on the first few minutes. The underlying problem is that these tour groups with a lot of people pack way too many things to do in way too little time and often times don't explain regional etiquette properly. Basically tour groups are the worst ways to travel and this pretty much reinforced it.

Hey sorry been super busy so I took some photos of the recipe instead! Sorry about the handwriting will eventually type up if you can't read it haha.
Gotta say though you have to keep kneading the dough mix until it goes dry and not sticky, which took about 2 hours by hand. The topping also took about an hour of kneading, also stops being sticky but will be oily like cookie mix which is normal. Worth keeping some flour on the side when kneading, I know I ended up adding a few handfuls for the topping!
WTB that ink.

So my wife and I are finally going on our honeymoon for our 1 year anniversary. We are going to Bali (Seminayk and South Kuta) for 9 days with 3 day layovers before and after in Hong Kong. Does anyone have any suggestions of things we should do and/or palces we should see? We don't really have a strict itinerary and want to relax, but it's always good to get a few ideas down.
Currently our ideas are:
Hong Kong Disney
That Michellin starred Dim Sum place in HK
Temple Street Night Market in HK
Bali Food Tours (http://www.balifoodsafari.com/)
Maybe short trip to Macau to see the wife's distant relatives
Anyone have any Bali ideas?

Watching sunset from Victoria Peak sounds like a good time.
Ngong Ping cable car ride to a monastery with a giant Buddha statue also seems cool.
I've heard iffy reviews of Hong Kong Disney, but since it might be our only chance for a while, I'd like to try it. Never heard of Ocean Park though and it seems interesting. Not sure we'd want to do two amusement parks.
The wife has mentioned Egg Tarts a lot.
YES definitely have egg tarts!!
I went to HK Disney, and it was okay. Ocean Park is much, much better.
The giant Buddha statue may not be for everyone. While it is a tourist destination, it's primarily a 'holy' site...
