We really tried with the language, but we couldn’t understand a word they responded with, and the phrasebook certainly didn’t teach us how to translate addresses. You can imagine the frustration of not being able to do something simple as just getting into the cab and arriving at your destination.Oh and the people here are pretty rude, when it comes to getting into lifts, or in the metro. They just push there way on and off, (you can even miss your station in the process, cause the metro is sooo packed full of people, its just so near to impossible to get off and on during the very brief moment the tube decided to stop at the station) EXTEND THOSE STOP BREAKS.. YOU DIMWITS!
I guess they were never taught its polite to give way to others before entering.. Or being polite in general really, holding doors, or even giving up a seat for a woman - Quite the contrary - never seen anyone want a seat so much in my life… That scene where an empty tube arrives at the station, the doors open & like a herd they all claim the seats like they are made of gold.. Its hilarious and at the same time, damn right bloody weird! We thought for a moment they were playing WWF smack down musical chairs! And man if there was one negative
point about the place it was the spitting. The sound of "Huuuuuaaaaack sttthpaaaa" going on at extraordinary volumes, and it was always there. Apparently bodily functions are no subject for taboo in China, hence it was huuuacked right in front of us constantly. I do however have something positive to say about China, the Food its absolutely glorious… even the pot noodles out here are just soooo yum, and China's sights & cities have been pleasant enough.
Oh and the street lights - look how pretty they are?!
