Bad habits in PRC

Have you ever seen a PRC Chinese spat on the floor?
Have you ever seen a PRC Chinese dug his/her nose in public?
Have you ever seen a PRC Chinese dug his/her ear in public?
Have you ever heard a PRC Chinese talked loudly?
Have you ever seen a PRC Chinese mom helping her child to pee in public?
Have you ever seen a PRC Chinese man wearing bermudas and leather shoes with long white socks?

If you have, then I can assure you that all these habits are very common in their country, PRC.They grew up with such habits and not surprisingly, they brought it to Singapore when they came along. To us, it is totally unacceptable and uncivilized. But to them, it is very normal; their grandparents did it, their parents did it so now they do it. 

Of course, not all PRC Chinese are like this, but I dare to say most of them are. 1.3 billion is a very huge figure and PRC is a big country. People differ from the north to the south, from the east to the west. I think it will take forever for them to change. But then, I think they feel that there is no need to change and hence, don't want to change. And with so many disasters happening to this big Asian country one after another, there are more important issues that need more attentions. 

I am very sure that I wouldn't want to stay in such a place for long. Yucks...
