-China.
-Noooo, where do you come from?
-You first.
-I come from Zhanjiang, do you know?
-No.
-Where do you come from?
-Germany, have a nice day.
-Why do you come to China?
...
-Can I just drink my coffee alone, please?
Didn't realize that I came to this coffee shop for a job interview, although I was working on my laptop. I mean I get it, you want to talk with a Foreigner to practice your English freely, what you call 'friendship', because those damn training centers are so expensive. But can you just go bother another Foreigner, not the one who was obviously busy doing something else, please?
Free english practice with the younger ones is annoying enough with these takers, worse is the middle age group and up, far more insidious.
If it were me.....

I just say England. They don't know where it is, but they know about big red busses, Big Ben and the Queen.
Thats my answer to Muricans.
To Everyone else, I reply Scotland.
I say the Islas Malvinas to most of the world. To the Brits, I just say the "occupied Falklands".
The Yanks think the Falklands are a fjord off the coast of British Columbia. The Germans once told me that it was part of German West Africa, now known as Namibia. The French are generally clueless, the Russians asked me if we have a Communist Party on the Island, but the Chinese know, for sure. They asked me if Argentina would grant them fishing rights. The answer was easy ... send us a few troop carriers and battleships to oust the British and you can have all the fishing rights that you want. Stay tuned for chapter two.
ScotsAlan:
Interesting.
The sinking of the General Belgrano?
I would say that was a war crime. Maybe not the firing of the torpedoes, but definitely not surfacing to rescue survivors. To be able to rescue, but not doing so, war crime.
Especially when you consider the Red Cross box both sides created. The politicians want to fight, the doctors wanted to save. Total stupidity really. Argentinian and British hospital ships sharing resources, while their politically embattled leaders were sending men to fight.
Marcos_Cisneros:
ScotsAlan, the proper adjective is Argentine, not Argentinian. Furthermore, no Argentine hospital ship every shared anything with the British. That would have been an act of treason, particularly at that period of time.
And the sinking of the Belgrano and the machine gunning of its crew in the cold waters of the South Atlantic was a war crime and it still is a war crime ... but talk to the Boers about the war crimes of the British in South Africa, for example, or the French Canadians about the massive deportations by the British of the French speaking inhabitants of Canada. Or the slaves of Africa, with England the master of the slave trade.
In any case, one day the Malvinas will return to Argentina, and Gibraltar will return to Spain and Northern Ireland will be reunited to the rest of Ireland.
What did Napoleon say ... perfidious Albion, or something like that.
ScotsAlan:
Research it. Marcos.
Conqueror was a Nuke sub. Nuke powered, and she possibly had nukes on board. This was Cold War era. She did not surface, either to machine gun or rescue. She was part of the MAD. She had to dive to escape to protect her secrets.
Marcos_Cisneros:
ScotsAlan, sorry but I am not inclined to believe a sanitized English version of the events.
First you claimed that the British discovered it, and then you claim that the British conquered it. Those are two different words in the language of Shakespeare.
We know from the Spanish Conquistadores of the 1500's and their "Relaciones de Conquista" that Mapuches told them about those islands in the South Atlantic, home to great schools of fish, in those days. The Portuguese from Brazil even visited the islands but deemed them worthless.
I am sure the British also have their own version of how Lord Trafalgar towed the Rock of Gibraltar from Portsmouth by ship until he embedded it in the Mediterranean. If there is one thing that I do not believe, it is British fairy tale versions of history. And I write that as politely as I can. And there are about 400 million Latin Americans who feel the same way that I do ...
Hotwater:
So you were one of the 3 people who voted no in the 2013 referendum Marcos?
99.8% of those who voted (turnout of >90%) chose to remain an overseas dependency of the U.K.
If at some point in the future the people of Laa Malvinas chose to become part of the Argebtine then so be it. Their choice. But they won't be "returning"...the place was Spanish ruled when the Brits took them.
Don't get me wrong either...I was against Thatchers decision to go to war...but it wouldn't have happened if Galtieri hadn't invaded.

Hotwater:
One other thing Marcos. On the next answer you suggest we look at your Facebook page. I tried this yesterday using the email address you'd posted on a comment. No such user.

", but the Chinese know, for sure. "
More BS lies, do you ever tell th truth? Tell me more about what you know about me from googling me.
haha,, South Texas,,, Mexico really,,, hard place to beat,,, sun, sand, easy going lifestyle, best darn food ever,,,, girls hot as hot gets,, and kinda like China ain't too hung up on rules..... Teenager in Aberdeen though...
diverdude1:
and I'll gladly tell anyone,,, haha,, cuz few know where Texas is,,, let alone South Texas,,,, I typically just get nice, blank nods.
Marcos_Cisneros:
South Texas, that is a part of Mexico that the Americans stole from Mexico. The British steal from Argentina, the Americans steal from Mexico, my, my, same race, same mentality. Abrazos grandes a vos allá en su Tejas lejano.
Marcos_Cisneros:
Actually, no, ScotsAlan, the Mapuches and their ancestors the Aruacanians, the earliest inhabitants of the River Plate, discovered the Falklands before Columbus.
And while we are chatting, if you have access to Facebook, check out my page. Marcos Cisneros. There is a long series of articles from La Prensa in Buenos Aires, the Argentine equivalent of the Times about how MI 6 has been covertly financing indigenous uprisings in Southern Argentina, in Patagonia, and in Chilean Patagonia, for no other reason than to provoke chaos in Argentina. The governments in Buenos Aires and in Santiago have been furious about it and several MI 6 illegals were apprehended and then deported but not before both governments found a treasure trove of incriminating information.
Marcos_Cisneros:
So Riverdude, are you a Scot or a Dixie or a what and what kind of English do you speak ... my God, Southern drawl with a Scotch burr ... must be something unusual to the ears...
diverdude1:
yep marcos, we 'stole' it in a war. That's why I said it was Mexico really,,, but , hey, bad news for you,,, the world is like that ,,, 'To the Victor go the Spoils'. just ask Bonaparte.
Marcos_Cisneros:
Actually, diverdude1, as you Americans say, it ain't over until the fat lady has sung..... and America is on its way out, way out.....
ScotsAlan:
A Scottish Texan. And an Aberdonian.... my head just exploded.
Marcos_Cisneros:
@ScotsAlan, as you write, your head exploded...it is indeed a rather exotic cocktail, a bit like a kosher pork sandwich with melted cheese served with shrimp. Not very glatt kosher and not very parve as my Jewish friends might say.
Of course, then again, who knows if it is true ... particularly on this Board.....
diverdude1:
dumb saying from the old days,,, something about opera.... but anyway, I agree a lot of US has lost the work ethic, but about on the way out,,, not so sure about that. Maybe not dominating, but holding par with gooks regarding tech advancements. And, not that I approve of it, but still dominating in the 'way to be' factor. Young Chinese look to the US to be cool,,, Converse, Swift, Beiber, Apple... justified or not, it is what it is.
diverdude1:
haha,, yeah, Scot,, grew up in Aberdeen cuz my dad in the North Sea oil business. I still love Scotland and will always be a part of me.
Marcos_Cisneros:
@ScotsAlan, from the Encyclopaedia Britanica, which is about as English and as British Establishment as one can get, the following, just para vos, pibe mío ....
Rio de la Plata | estuary, South America | Britannica.com
diverdude1:
Scots,,, everybody loses in the end,,, but Napoleon put the cool in dude. Badass mfkr,, came from nowhere,, and basically kicked ass severely. Yeah,, heading off to Russia with winter coming was a major faux pas,,,,, must have had some reason though,,, either to show he was the only m'fr who could do it,, or a weird form of suicide? Anyway, the Boner was one cool hombre.... I particularly liked the way he snatched the crown from the Pope's hands and crowned himself. Josephine had negro blood,,, haha,,, heatedness defined. Rocked Boney's world
ambivalentmace:
a negro modelo and some entertainment at El Papagayo was a great way to relax in South Texas, but i prefer going across in El Paso instead of Laredo and having a steak on Lincoln Ave at the Montana steak house and crossing the parking lot for a soapy happy ending massage.
ambivalentmace:
diverdude1, I am looking for a place in galveston right now, any good place to live along the sea there you recommend.
I like the no state income tax in Texas and Florida, my hometown Atlanta has become very rich assholes and very poor folks, the middle class neighborhoods have become over crowded immigrant homes, over crowded schools and higher crime. Basically a smaller version of Houston after New Orleans invaded.
So I have narrowed my search to anywhere between Pensacola Fl and Harlingen, TX.
''I came from my ... mom! You ?"
ha ha hah ....'I know that!' ...
1. He/she knows that!
2. He/she replies 'me, too'!
3. 'W-ha-ay did you ask me then ?'
4. My A originated in USA, because every time I told the name of the country, I heard re: 'oohh, where's that?", so I had to help them out and myself too.
... and Jay retired.
Canada. Same people who may have to go to war under NORAD if Kimmy sends a missile to this continent.

where you from?
Atlanta Georgia
what is Atlanta?
Coca Cola, Martin Luther King, Gone with the Wind, CDC
i still don't understand.
Atlanta is the capital of the New world order and Martin luther king's grandson is the antichrist and leader, he lives at the Scarlet plantation and mind controls everyone with toxins from the CDC in the coca cola we sell all over the world.
They now think I'm crazy and now I can go back to my laptop or coffee.
sometimes i get asked where do i live, then I say china and they get confused ?????
I remember being in a restaurant waiting for friends and catching up on some work I had while I waited. I hadn't been in China long at that stage.
Him: Hello....
Me:( trying not to make eye contact) yeah, hello...
Him: Are you busy?
Me: (pointing to the papers all over the table) Yes, I'm working here
Him: ahahaha... (sits down) I want to practice my English with a foreigner
Me: Oh, sorry, I have work to do and have no time.
Him" mmm ,mmm.... where are you from?
And that's when I first learned that I really don't want anything at all to do with random strangers in a restaurant. Hints are almost never taken and no fu*ks are given that they're being obnoxious and pushy.

"I charge 500RMB per hour.... or a good blowjob... which are you paying with?"
Mainlanders are the rudest people on Earth and don't give 2 shitsabout what you're doing they just selfishly try to serve their own wants. My post about my travels is coming tomorrow.
