Things to like about China that you can’t do in the States

August 13th, 2010 § 0

Well, an old women just did something that you can’t do in the States, which got me thinking about things you can do here but chant do in the States.

I’m sitting down stairs in a Starbucks enjoying the air conditioning during a 100+ day when an old women rolls in and mounts up to a table near me. She opens a bag a busts out her lunch. Take out Chinese I am thinking, by the looks of the styrofoam anyway. So now shes sitting alone opening small coffee creamers and pouring sugar into them, I can’t say I know what she is going to do next. Ok a little stir action, and more sugar. I suppose you could make icecrea if it got cold enough. Ok she is drinking coffee creamer in a Starbucks. Slightly odd. But nevertheless, I’ve seen worse. Oh.. man she has a milk stash. My day is now complete.

Ok to the real point of this. Things you can’t do in the States that you can do here.

Drink beer where ever you are. Sidewalk, in public, etc.

Order food from one place and take it into another or have it delievered to another restaurant to eat it there.

Bringing you own drinks into a restaurant.

Bring food into another restaurant.

Spit, littler, throw whatever you want out the window of a car.

Yell in a restaurant, everyone else is.

Not clean up after yourselves at a fast food place.

Drive on the wrong side of the road.

Speed, weave in and out, run red lights, turn on red, etc. Really there are no driving rules unless there is a Policeman present and or a camera for red light runners.

Haggle over price for most everything.

….

This is what I got on the top of my head for now. If I can think of more I’ll post them too.
