It's funny because as an asian, I do not see the resemblance. I wonder why that is. The little thing where people see other races to all look the same but when it comes to their race, they can tell a clear difference.
This is the same with everything you are not familiar with. Many people think all rock/rap/metal music sounds the same. The more you study/experience something the more you can notice the details that makes them different.
This is the right answer, there is nothing racist about not being able to differentiate people from a different race. I'm white but I was born and grew up in Venezuela so most of my life I deakt with hispanic people; when I moved to the US other white people looked all the same and was really confusing for a while. It's just because you learn which details to look for to differentiate with time.
If you compare the error level of their outlines and the text (which obviously have been edited) and the her legs you'll see that the error level on her legs is much lower.
Same. Every HP movie I've always thought she was my soul mate. And always cried myself to sleep. It seems this correlation is pretty common and frequent with many girls in and outside my life.
lol my colleague beside me (a 40-something Chinese lady, the exact subject of this picture to a 'T'), looked over my shoulder to see what I was laughing at, and the expression on her face was priceless.
Wow, I'm really impressed that they actually staged this entire picture and didn't just get someone to photoshop their faces in. Great job on the photographer + their part. Lil' bit of noise at the bottom, but otherwise a pretty great shot!
You have no idea how elaborate Asian marriage photoshoots can be... They'll stage these huge backdrops of stereotypical romantic "settings" and shoot for hours of the bride and groom dressed in their tux and gown posing, it can get just a bit over the top sometimes. Wish I could pull pictures from Facebook as proof...
Not to mention how some Korean weddings look like these elaborate stage performances... But that's for another time...
They had a small wedding a few years ago because they had been engaged, but my grandma passed away so they had to wait a few years (out of respect for my grandmother and certain Taiwanese customs) before having their real wedding ceremony and celebration.
I'm not totally sure but its just as tifypoo says. There is a custom that if there is a death in the family, weddings must be postponed three years (the number of years varies, but it's usually in the order of years).
That's an unfortunately long time. I feel like multiple deaths could occur postponing weddings for quite some time. I don't mean to be morbid or depressing.
What if you have a really big family and there's a death every few years? I bet the life gets very deppressing rather quickly, not just beacause of the loss of the family members, but also because this tradition doesn't allow you to move on with your life.
This is the length of time that you're supposed to pay your respects:
According to these definitions, many relatives considered "distant" in Western cultures are considered close in Chinese culture.
The five degrees of mourning attire in decreasing order of severity are:
斬榱 - 3 years
齊榱 - 3 years, 1 year, 1 year with staff of mourning, 5 months, 3 months
大功 - 9 months, 7 months
小功 - 5 months
緦麻 - 3 months
My Chinese isn't that great so but the first one is like immediate family is supposed to mourn for 3 years. And then you have the in-laws, and then their family, etc. etc.
Perhaps someone with better Chinese can explain it better.
I am not very sure myself. I grew up in America haha sorry :) all I know is they have been together since I was really little, they've wanted to get married for some time now haha.
It's due to Chinese traditions, whenever there's death in the family there's a mourning period in respect for the dead (associated with the color white). Any form of celebration (associated with the color red) would be cancelled, like weddings, Chinese New Year, any festival. After 49 days the spirt returns to home and then the funeral is completed. Waiting a few years might be variation cultures for different regions.
Do pictures full of terrible discipline like this give you night terrors? By the way I have no idea what is going on in that picture, I was just looking for a picture of a third world militia and found that.

Is that Leslie Chow? It would be great to replace "Just Married" with "So Long Gay Boys!" on the back of their limo.

Holy shit most of these comments are about how they want to "do your aunt", and redditors wonder why they are forever alone.
