thread Our company is owned by the Chinese.
Whenever I've been out to Africa for business I usually have to stay with the Chinese as a guest.
Fuck me they can drink. I'm a big drinker but they take the piss. The whole evening is based around Ganbei and it's hard to get out of without upsetting them. The big trouble is they are constantly topping up your glass so you haven't a clue as to how much you've drunk.
In the cumulative few months I've stayed with them I've never puked up so much from beer nor done as much Karaoke.
Being driven home by pissed up Chinese through the rainforests of Ghana whilst having Bobby Darin crooned to you in Engrish whilst trying not to throw isn't pleasant.
The thing is, the next day - they are straight into work at 7.00am as if nothing's gone on, no mention of the night before and not a hangover between them. Whilst I'm wearing shades, sweating like Beadle in a glove shop and gipping every 3 minutes.
permalink that's odd all the chinese i konw fall over after 3 pints
spirits are a no-no
permalink a lot of far eastern types are slightly alergic to it
. we once nearly killed a drummer of a japanese rock band.... he went very red and was pissed instantly.
permalink Seriously massive drinkers.
Every night this goes on. Perhaps they've become used to it being exiled in Africa for years. Drank me under the table and this was when I was in my 'alcoholic' years.
I remember going to the toilet to throw up and with it being Africa the toilet didn't flush, like nothing works over there. I thought it would be clever to fill up a waste bin with water from the sink and throw it down the bog. I dropped the bin before I got to the bog so water everywhere and puke still all over the bog. I filled it up again and threw it down the bog. The bog was fucking blocked, so now puke and water all over the floor. I thought 'fuck it' and proceeded to leave but not before I slipped and soaked my trousers and sleeve with pukey water.
It cheered the fuckers up though. "You velly funny Daniel.Velly funny man, you sooooo drunk"
"Remember you are representing the company" were the last words my manager said to me before I left for that Africa trip.
permalink Lots of fucking Ganbei going down at lunchtime with the rice wine...
....
permalink well keep that quiet.. even if ms ganbei is the nuts
