Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread
Hong Kong is part of China, but there's a special arrangement. They're technically considered a "Special Administrative Region" if I remember correctly. Something like they handle their domestic issues with autonomy, while the PRC handles foreign issues; like plenty of other protectorate countries. The slogan is One Country, Two Systems, though, so I think it's jumping the gun a wee bit to say Hong Kong is a separate country.
Honestly, it annoys me that so many countries have annoying confusing crap like this. The US has Washington, D.C., which is the capital of the United States, even though it isn't in any of them; Japan has Tokyo, which is a city, only it's made up of other entities that call themselves cities.
Semi-related to Soupboy, I had a dream recently where a classmate was giving me a ride for some reason. As he dropped me off, he goes '明ã‘ãŠã‚’. I was completely fed up. Just "argh, dude. not now. I am not in the mood today". So yeah, I am now hearing Japanese in my dreams. Not sure how I feel about that.
