hedwards: In China "Chinatown" is a strip club.

tinyE: OT
In Vietnam there is actually a bar called 'Apocalypse Now'.

Tell me that country doesn't have a sense of humor. :P
If it opened during the morning, it´d be complete.

syntotic: And the ban just expired, according to New York city tabloids. So!...

tinyE: What tabloid, because my copy of the New York Post is all about Bat Boy eloping with Kim Kardashian. Nothing about China in there.
Weird, my copy of the T sun says Kanye hit bat boy in his new Lamborghini.

Also, consoles have been legal here long enough for there to be entire shops dedicated to them. Even when I was here 3 years ago it was hardly difficult to find consoles. It's just that you wouldn't see any by Nintendo, Sony or MS. But I did see a fair number of generic boxes floating around.

Not that it's terribly important, none of the students here have time for games even if they do have the money for a console, so most of the gaming here is either PC or phone based.

vicklemos: What about Arcade games? Those are still huge in the PRC, right? Nice to see something (sigh) oldschool, like humans interacting with each other in person! :P

I guess nowadays it's easier to find consoles in China, right? Not that they're huge, but it's easier to buy them, so I've heard.
I'm not sure what you mean by big, but yes arcades still exist here and I do see arcade games outside of arcades as well. They're not as common as arcade games were in the US in the hay day of arcades, but even when I was living in some rather tiny towns I knew of at least one arcade.
There are alot of things forbidden in China.

They have a place called "forbidden city" in there too.

deathknight1728: They also had a guy (Cant remember his name) who was so intelligent he could force kill people in an argument with his words. He invented the wooden oxen and it can move without any gas or materials all by itself.
Heresy! No creature of the bovine persuasion moves without gas!

Very true. The Greens say that's exactly why the world is getting warmer in fact. Though, the Greens say a lot of things.
