| Jianshuo, allow me to say this is the best topic of your recent posts. Although I'm not an expat, I do have lots of things to miss in Shanghai, I say it because I've always compared what we're having with what we used to have and what the western world is having right now. I agree with most of the answers above, and there's also one thing I especially want to highlight: patience. It occurs to me that the whole bunch of population is crazy up to sth and they never would want to spend time on sth that doesn't directly link with their own interest, I mean not a minute would they want to, I used to witness a bus driver refused to stop the bus when one elderly passenger didn't manage to get off at the stop (he was just like 30seconds late)and he shouted at the man really loudly saying that this is BUS implying that you have to be prepared to get off before the driver pulls it over no matter who you are, but the sarcastic thing is the next minute at the traffic light, a young man waved the bus to stop, the driver didn't hesitate to open the door, we all know it's because the driver wants the money. See? this is what we are experiencing now in Shanghai, the said-to-be most developed city in China. So pathetic, here we don't have the basic respect for each other, yes, everybody is hurry for STH(I don't know what), it's like if you don't hurry, if you waste time on other people, the money will fall into others' hands...Shame! |
