Can anyone recommend a good Tiananmen Square 天安門一九八九年 massacre tour?
Okay, so the reason I made this thread’s edition for a Chinese indie band (Hiperson is from Chengdu) is because I am once again asking what the current music scene is like in China.Are some cities better for certain genres/scenes than others?I’m talking punk, metal, emo, indie, prog rock, hardcore, etc.
>>2911935Oh, and I forgot goth. Definitely want to know the best city for Chinese Goth girls.
>>2911935yeah but i wouldn't listen to anyones opinion unless they are actually in the city they are talking about. these generals are attended by internet info repeaters, not experience sharers. this isn't the place you'll find such info. i'd get rednote/小红书 and search for keywords and cities and ask in a comment on things you find. or ask there what chinese sites/social media profile to look at. at best here you will get obvious statement like the big cities have scenes and the cities with lots of students have scenes: chengdu, beijing, shanghai, wuhan etc. you need to get actual chinese to point you in the way.
>>2911932I'm South Asian and I found China to be incredibly unwelcoming. I studied there for about 6 years. As a student I had no right to work in the country, so I was quite poor. There is almost no path it permanent residence or citizenship for nonChinese too.Yes most Chinese think I am African or Italian. Once I tell them through a translator I am from India their demeanor towards me almost always changes. I've tried getting just regular massages, and they will always tell me they are full and have no time. How is that even possible?The only friends I made in Chinese were other Indians or the occasional white dude.Every time I would approach someone in a night club they would always just tell me they were busy, even if I wanted to just talk. Very unwelcoming and unfriendly. I'm thinking anyone who says something positive about China is a bot or Chinese themselves.
>>2912030Sorry jeetbro they just dont like your kind. If you're white or other NE Asian they are welcoming.
>>2912030You are not south asian you are a filthy indian, literally every culture in the world HATES you. Even the most liberal libtards in canadian subreddits are actively racist towards jeets.
>>2911961Yep. One additional note is that scene music tend to operate in circles. Once you know one, and have their info you can use this to see similar bands or you can try and identify popular venues that music is played. Livehouse are pretty popular so there definitely a market for it. Schoolpub in beijing is one such place with pretty good live rock music. It will never be super popular though because its a bitch to make a good sounding song with lyrics in chinese due to the tonal system.
>>2912080Hes a white incel loser from pol tryingto spread misery thats how they breed. He doesn't even have a passport
>>2912455Is this the new "he's paki" cope? Lmao everyone hates jeets. From the extreme far right, middle, and extreme far left.
>>2912494Who would pretend to be Indian and whine?
I want to do an epic motorcycle trip across Xinjiang. How much of a pain in the ass would the Chinese police be? Assume that my license and vehicle paperwork are all legal.
>>2911933I keep skipping to get to the song part and it's just her ranting over an acoustic guitar the whole time.Here's some real China music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9x32PEhTBU

how difficult is it to get tickets for the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square on a Saturday / Sunday in late October?some people have reported that the foreign ticket office even didn't have any and online were sold minutes after the 7 day window openedthose were mostly during summer and not late October (aka shoulder season)the alternative is to spend more on a tour
>>2912670What in the flying fuck is shoulder season?
>>2912671>What in the flying fuck is shoulder season?the time between peak season and low seasonfor tourist numbersfor Beijingnational holidays and July/August would be peak / high seasonDecember to February has the least tourists, so low seasonin between is shoulder season
The CCP will send you a couple of freebies to lovebomb you and then get mad that you dont know 2000 years of cultural traditions around dating in china after only being there three days. After you settle in you will run into consistently the same usual behavior of women who only act interested initially and then when you pursue them further they will act like cold hearted bitches and be rude or just casually waste your time forever with lies and string you along
>>2912744That's modern women everywhere IME. Especially the pretty ones. Once they discover you're just a world wanderer, the jig is up. That's why you have to hurry up, overwhelm her attention and get the puss like you have a dozen other girls waiting. Chatting for days on end betrays your lack of options.
>>2912744>>2912750Stop inferring. Stop looking for patterns. Stop trying to "solve" people
>>2912750Im working here thats what I mean. I have a set work schedule and as soon as I am free and try to make something happen girls stop sounding interested and go silent. Attention seeking behavior is terribly high. "You must talk to so many women" is true because they aren't serious themselves
>>2912678What a retarded made up phrase.
>>2912918Not my first time hearing it but yeah I agree.
>>2912678In normal White people English, the part between low and high is called middle. We don't need to reference body parts to remind us where middle is, fucking retard.

Ive heard Xiamen will be pretty dead for national day holiday?

>>2911934Shit’s getting boring, but you could try ask the locals and set what they’re thinking
>>2912030Was rooting for you till I know you’re Indian. Sorry bro, Chinese don’t like pajeets
>>2912753That's the whole point of meeting people while traveling, to understand humanity better by deducing how environment and culture shapes the behavior of many different types of people. Every time I go out in public I am observing people - and their reactions to being observed. Don't like it? Tough shit. >>2912853How is your Chinese language skill?
>>2913011Its a limit for me. I can know what people are talking about if they talk slowly and aren't garbling in a southern accent but when I try to speak I always fuck up the tones if I try to speak a sentence
>>2913011No one likes it when people react. Action > reaction
>>2913056No one asked
