Q: What would happen if you walked backwards while hitting yourself in your home country?
Hey, I am trying to go 24-hours without complaining, so I came up with one thing I can do in China that I'd probably get thrown in the loony bin (or at least get a reputation for) back in weiguostan is walk backwards while hitting myself in various body parts. I get why they do this and it makes sense: walking backwards stretches muscles not ordinarily stretched and also requires mental coordination, and hitting yourself in the right parts improves blood flow and is like a light massage.
On another note, have you picked up any "weird" behaviors that actually make sense after living here for some time?
You would qualify for disabiity if you did that home.
People would join in and do it with me, or call the police. The police would then shoot me 9 times in the head, shoot someone's dog, and plant drugs on my corpse. You know, because they do that.

No, I'm white, and I live in the west. Cops are always doing stupid shit in the U.S. It pisses me off because it gives all the good cops a bad name.
Scandinavian:
I thought there was only one good cop, did you intend to use plural ?
sam239:
Usually big city cops are good because they have to worry about actual crime. Rural cops tend to have a much higher percentage of schoolyard bullies.
Hulk:
We just had a cop violently arrest and assault a black guy just because he was singing in the streets.
sam239:
Probably not *just* because of that, I can't see they'd just walk up to him and beat him up, but he probably stood up for his rights and they showed their true colours.
Hulk:
They actually did precisely that... walk up to him and manhandle him, throw him around, etc. Google it. It's on video from start to finish, from before the police even arrived.
Walking backward while hitting myself : if my old, people would just smile. If I'm not old, people might make some snarly comments, maybe. In Paris, you would be utterly ignored.
Ridiculous habit I picked here : Putting ridiculous amounts of Lao Gan Ma in my rice bowl.
Probably nothing. generally there are some loons on the streets, and you can happily let them be as they are most likely harmless or they would be in treatment. You can also ignore them for being loons as you don't need to worry about their well being, they will have a bed and food every day, it is severely difficult (not impossible) to be homeless in my home country.
How about it being totally fine wandering about the street in your pajamas here?
Wearing neck to knee attire, along with an umbrella and a face mask even on hot hot hot, semi-sunny days because you don't want to wake up black.
The habit I've picked up is riding my bike in an illegal manner. It's a doing what the Romans do thing, but it makes traffic management simpler.
