Some Interesting Phenomenon in China

It is so crazy, too crazy. So many people walk on streets, full of crowds, that it hard to walk on.

It is too crazy. We have never seen that mobiles are sold on such large scale. All stores in one street sell sorts of brands at different prices. It seems Chinese always after the new models while European will not abandon the mobile until it does not work, regardless of it is out of fashion or not.

Chinese still sit on the bicycle when they are stopped. They never get off the bike and keep going on with two legs dragged on the ground as if they are boating, does it make the bike go faster?

Quite a few Chinese keep on pressing lift button repeatedly until the door is open. Only one pressing is required according to the system. Why Chinese do this even if they know press several times will not make the lift run faster.

Squatting-toilet is too dangerous and terrible to use for old people. Keep squatting for 2 or 3 minutes will kill the old with certain illness, for example heart-attack, high blood pressure, or things like that.

Gates in residential areas are leaving a small door in the middle for residents only, and only when the vehicles come and the door will be opened completely. Why they use the narrow door to get in and get out, while there is a big door?
