Kia ora.You're right there geriatric! I'm dumbfounded with the table manners here, even after a few years. My girlfriend has the same table manners of a hog at a trough and it's kinda off putting to eat around her. Although I'm getting used to it, and she really tries hard not to sound as she does, she can't quite manage it... if my Mum saw/heard it, I'd shudder to think what she'd do but lets say that the fallout would be worse than a few nukes popped over Guangzhou!
Lets not talk about alla the other "differences" like spitting, screaming into cellphones, babies doing ablutions on streets etc, not to mention piles of rubbish everywhere and the ubiquitous plastic bags drifting with the breeze!
Where in China are you?
