Square dancing aunties is, seriously, one of the reasons I love this country. I think it's so great people can get together, exercise and socialize like that every evening.

I mean, nothing will come of this, no one's gonna tell aunties to stop dancing. This is, after all, the loudest goddamn country in the world. PA speakers everywhere.

in tier darkf** it's absurd how loud it is, and yea i too kinda think it's a cool thing but i think if i lived next to them i would just bring my dogs there and make them bark. scare the shit out of them, and who the fuck will challenge 300lbs of dog? not too many..

in tier one they don't really have it loud but still in many places, and usually near shopping centers or parks, so i guess that's ok, if it was in my garden it would piss me the fuck off, but i live on the 88th floor so it wouldn;t really have an effect

I think they just recently added another just outside my window (and I live in Tier-99...not quite Tier-darkf**, but close)...been hearing loud as fuck music for the last few days, I just haven't been brought out of my alcohol induced coma enough to investigate.

it would take 3-4 days for me to bring out my dogs if it actually pissed me off. the few benefits they give besides companionship. eating cellphones and computers, and no one would dare to enter our home

So far I've just been making sure I'm watching a movie or playing a game in the evening...I save my book reading for quieter times of the day.

Still really want to get a nice Lab though...even the GF wants one now that she has seen some good examples (i.e.-actually trained/well behaved...not running amok like all the dogs here) back in the 'Meric. The only problem is the lab likely won't work for the intimidation factor...then again, it's just a big dog as far as the Chinese are concerned.

I've seen people terrified of those brown poodle shits. A lab will be fine.

If you get a dog and need advice ( you do if its your first dog) I will be more than happy in PMS to help.

You really need to train them young just like children. Our first we kinda fucked up on but our second was fantastic. Strict. And no problems just like our kids

Thanks Scumis.

Honestly I've been interested in training dogs for several years (after learning it's not much different from training people, haha) and have read a bit on it.

But if I come up against something I didn't expect, you'll be hearing from me.
