My favourite was when I sprained my ankle a few years ago - I showed up to school in a walking cast and my co-teacher told me that Korean acupuncture would cure it in one day, because it was a 'miracle'. Oh, okay.
I'll bet that, like myself, you have always found the thoughtless bombast of the Han to be in stark contrast to the solemnity of the Zhuang and stone-faced Manchu.
Yes the Manchu and the Han have such contrasting mannerisms. Ive also been particularly keen to enjoy the faux pas of the Khmer. The Uiger moreover are even more particular than the Hmong.

This made me remember a whole bunch of stupid shit I heard back in the day.... The water ghost thing was something I'd never heard of before, and yet it came up a number of times. The "weak tissue" thing, too.
