As a Hongkonger, we have a concept called "living with your parents" that westerners may not understand. ;)
Our conversations can range from where we're going for lunch to what to do with my parents after they die.
No wayyy
My parents would just be like "啋,大吉利是" (or the 台山話 equivalent of it which i have no idea how to type it) and tell me it's "晨早流流, 唔好意頭" or something and tell me to stop talking about death.
They literally refuse to buy houses that ends with a number 4 (I mean like the address number) 🤣
My Paternal Grandmother died and then like you can't even talk about spending less on the funeral, cuz then Paternal Grandfather gets mad...
lmfao what
those coffins cost like 幾萬美金 what the fuck
funerals are scams, my dad got so mad when I suggested to just toss grandma in the trash lol (I said it as a joke)
Btw how close are you with parents?
I used to cuddle with mom when I was a kid, and I used to sleep in my parents bed even up till middle school age... is that like... normal?
Cuz I did a google search and it says Asians are typically "not that affectionate"
but then now I get older, and not an adorable little boy anymore, mom said "以前細個好乖呀,而家越大越唔聽話", and I feel like my parents just hate me now
Life feels so depressing without 母愛 😭
Asian superstitions are on another level (sometimes literally). My neighborhood is all condos in a dense urban area that caters to Asian investors for some reason. There are no floors that end in 4, along with the removal of 13. So there is a 12 then the next floor is 15. I guess if we close our eyes reality doesn't exist.
