How you tell the difference between PRC Chinese & Chinese?
-
Hahahahaha!!!! agreed!!!! lol... ok i shall try not to be stereotypical here but this fact i must admit.Originally posted by Cool-gal:PRC gal- just lift up their arms to see if any "bushes".
Local young gal- hairless in the armpit area.
when i was in uni, i quickly found out that alot of PRC girls never shave! OMG the bushes under the arm pits! But the ones from the big cities are better.
Some even question why they should shave!!! But some are just plain lazy, i had a korean flatmate. She forgets to shave them sometimes.
And to those who commented about how the PRC talk, do you realise that our singaporean singlish accent is no better when we are overseas.
Imagine the brits or americans say oh, you wanna know who are the singaporeans? Just listen to their english accent! -
Have you been to China? Or rather the 'bigger' cities?Originally posted by curryman:prcs talk loudly, dress in an old fashioned way, walked in an 'apek' way, wear big rimmed glasses.

Chinese or Asian girls can get away with shaving because their legs aren't hairy. -
why the hot talk of PRC Chinese?
Sometimes, local chinese are no better. Just check out those ah lians. haha -
Just as we can't tell the difference between a German, a Scandinavian, and a Russian, and an Irishman by sight alone, the Americans can't tell the difference between a Chinese, a Japanese, a Vietnamese, even Mongolian.
After 911, a Sikh in USA was killed, because he wore a turban, and was thought to be an Arab.
To the untrained eye, there is this cliche: "They all look alike." -
erm, we're talking about armpit hair.... well, i just think armpit hair is really unsightly for women.Originally posted by YaoRockets:Europeans don't shave either ... or not as often as Americans.

I just knew that someone would eventually self reflect to say this!
The biggest difference between "us" and "them" is they are simply not used to queuing up. In terms of taking advantage of each other, we are not that much different from each other. They are a little more ruthless and we hide it under a big name - Kiasu -
PRCs talk damn loudly.

I don't talk loudly, speak concise english, but I get mistaken for PRC alot, no matter how crappy or how uptown I dress. It's the oriental features, fair skin and dark hair la. I yelled at a few chee ko pehs before for approaching me with the sleazy "xiao jie ni shi bu shi cong zhong guo lai de?? ke bu ke yi zhuo ge peng you ahhh?"

i'd say manners are most important.Originally posted by Slipshade:Dress in old-fashioned ways?
You have not seen alot of PRCs yet. If you go to those big cities in China, you can see they dress much better than we do. I've seen a fair share of PRCs in Singapore, and usually they looks more trendy than we do.
to hell about fashion.
some people come here and act as if its their own home.
even some of us locals dun act like dat in our own home -
decades ago, PRC chinese look physically the same as us except the clothings. Now their clothings look the same as us, but physically they are more plump and fleshy.
That is because before 1978, they are very poor, so their food are mainly grains and vegetable but after 1978, they become richer then their meat intake also increase accordingly.
When you go to those metropolitan cities, korean and japanese normally look fit and lean, but the PRC chinese are over fleshy.
It is the food that makes such difference. -
it is p lA

The purpose of this forum is... are Overseas Chinese really any better than PRC Chinese? For example are you better than PRC Chinese?Originally posted by Arapahoe:what is the purposes of this thread? -

Yah, I saw Singaporean wearing Sandals and Short pants at Shang Ri-La Hotel Chinese Restaurant! Ironically, PRC Chinese look at Singaporean with a shock! -
