If you're in management, finance, or other parts of business where social status and networking are critical to advancement that kind of thing is as basic as it gets. Trust me, it's so much more extreme in Asia than in America. | ||

The person who gave the better gift made a supposedly greater sacrifice, and thus demonstrated their selflessness more, gaining more social respect. It's all bullshit. I don't even write thank you cards. A "thanks a lot" upon receiving the gift is enough. | ||

I was smuggling in iPads as gifts for my relatives just for a few weeks stay, plus monies and other gifts. Gift-giving is ridiculously important in East Asian societies. | ||

I just scrolled through the pictures and dam those are some terribly messy rooms. Kids need to learn how to clean up and own a laundry basket so you don't just have dirty clothes lying all over the floor. Just basic human hygiene geez. | ||

If half of this is still currently the case they need to get a real manager who actually takes care of them. Maybe not even a manager but like a House Mom or Dad to make sure they eat and live proper. At this rate it looks like they are a month or two away from pulling a TSM scurvy. I do like the idea of a living facility and then a practice facility thou so that's good. | ||

Obviously I don't expect them to actually get scurvy but it can't be good for them and they deserve better looking after. I mean I can understand the untidy stuff but no actual food in the place? That just ain't good living on presumably take out and the like. | ||

I mean look at the sink. You can see the sink. The only reason you can see the sink is because no one there cooks any food. Seem to have a diet of fast food, chips and energy drinks. When will gamers realize that having a healthy body lets you compete better? Just because a room can be messier doesn't mean that those aren't. I'll never understand the whole super messy room. Why would you want to live like that? | ||

Cause shitty food often tastes good, is cheap, and makes companies that dump money into the gaming scene a lot of money. | ||
