    Hi, this is ER1C0 and I just gotta say somethin...

    Well, I've known this for quite some time, but really I've just been trying to ignore it... but I'm moving to China and I'm currently in the USA. So yea lotsa people have been surprised and askin me questions, I really don't care just as long as they aren't too personal.

    It'll be hard since I'll be leaving friends and my pets and stuff, but it's a more Americanized part, so it won't be too different.

    Some concerns are that maybe I won't be able to use my 360 there, but I'm pretty sure I can use a transformer thing for the outlets over there... Also, idk if I'll be able to use ForgeHub or Bungie, if it leads to that then i'll just be saying my goodbyes now.

    I'm leaving at the end of the month and I guess I really don't know how to react to everything. It won't be the end of me, but I really hope I can still stay in contact, ya know? So if anyone knows if this works over in other countries that'd be awesome...

    So i'll be able to use Xbox LIVE, but I won't get my 360 for about 2 months or so.

    My main GT is ER1C0 then I have a side one called My Ruba Ducky (lol) and you're welcome to send me a fr...

    So yeah I hope things go well and I have a 1 year halo 3 video montage made just to sum up the awesomeness of matchmaking.

    Anyway, thnx u guys for the insane posts, the cool maps, the weird vids, the funniest pics, and everything.

    Thanks again,
    -ER1C0

    Won't it be hard to get used to a society so different from ours? You won't understand like 95% of the population, or do you speak Chinese?

    one of my parents got a job
    nope
    thanks i'll try
    yeah, but like I said, it's a more Americanized part and English is also a second language... idk what it'll be like, but I've talked to some people who live over there and came from the us and they said it's like Chicago, but 2 times more populated. So it has some cool new stuff also, cuz they're 10 yrs. ahead of us with technology, and I heard that they have like 2 billion registered cell phones and like 1.5 billion people (not exact populations but whatevr)

    So I really don't know how to react to it right now, but I've been to Tanzania, London, Amsterdam, and some more places and they didn't seem to be extremely different from us... Although Tanzanians don't really clean themselves that great and they like to eat tea and bread a lot... but idk what China is like... it's actually like the last place I would've imagined myself going lol :)

    But I've heard different things and people say different stuff, like some (mostly classmates) say "oh, that sucks" (typical), and other's say "it'll be a good experience" (also typical)... idk, i really don't know...

    That's one hell of a generalization to make. Have you been there?

    Wow man...this must be hard for you. It would be impossible for me. But I hope you enjoy it there, and can cope with everything. Hopefully you'll be able to use the computer and xbox.

    And most of all, I hope you have no trouble making new friends. I know that could be hard sometimes, or are you the cool popular type who has no trouble makin new friends? Whatever, just have a good time man.

    I expected better reading comprehension from you, Nemihara. 1) Hong Kong is not REALLY a part of China. It isn't mainland and it has such a high degree of autonomy that lots of China's stupid **** doesn't affect it. 2) I never said that Chinese people are shitty. It's just China that is. Chinese people are great, we wouldn't have so many things without them. 3) Fob friends? Fallout Boy friends? Lol.

    Fob means Fresh Off Boat, a term I use to describe my friends who are born in Asia but are here as transfer students. Typically these people dress up completely asstastically funny.

    Maybe it's not considered part of China in technicalities, but the PRC has control over it still.

    Yeah, but I've been to both Hong Kong and the mainland. The mainland is to Hong Kong as the Burger King is to Charlemagne.

    Well yeah, if I had to live in China, I'd prefer Hong Kong. But it is part of China.
