Q: Why do Chinese man carry purse?

If not for for woman's bag, then own wallet is a big wallet, is like purse.

 

No one like small wallet? I do not like to go to bathroom and need to take purse with me.

You can also carry bricks in a purse incase you need a weapon to protect yourself. Its cool to carry a purse, just like Kwai Chang Cain did.

If Chinese men didn't carry a man-bag, where else would they put all the things they need every day? Keys, wallet, water bottle, tissues, pens....... wait a moment, that sounds like the contents of my bag

I see many Western men carry man-bags too. The only difference is they are bigger and not as purse-like. I find that those little purses are often carried by shady looking men who are probably hiding a large bundle of cash in there to bribe someone or carry the money they extorted from someone. Just my theory!

most murses (man purse) have a strap to hang on the door when they defacate, so they dont have to lay the bag in gods knows what on the floor and inside is the toilet paper to wipe  the buns and a cigarette to relax the bowels.

you can carry keys and wallet in pants, ok but toilet paper in pockets might make the ladies think you padding the libido and that is such a cliche.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
