11 More things you did not know about China/Chinese

So, I only have 12 days left in China, and I've been keeping track of some things I find interesting about China/Chinese. Here goes:

1.) There is no such thing as a happy ending to a movie. The Chinese LOVE to cry. (PS- have you seen Lust, Caution yet? GO SEE IT! It's great, even though I saw the version that is missing 30 minutes (thanks, Chinese government!)

2.) Chinese do not believe in standing in lines. It is one man for his own, and is also really really annoying.

3.) All parked cars in the street are parked in neutral. So the parking attendant can roll them out of the way easily. (PS- there are no parking lots)

4.) Speaking of cars, I can count the number of times I've seen a gas station on one hand.

5.) Pork is the meat of choice.

6.) In the supermarket, all seafood is alive. Yes, this includes turtles.

7.) Smoking is a real problem out here, but only for men. Men use cigarettes as an olive branch or as a way to meet each other. For instance, I saw a bicycle run into a car. It wasn't serious, but the bicyclist pulled out a pack of cigarettes and shoved one in the drivers mouth to say he was sorry.

8.) Their are 5 Olympic mascots: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini (Beijing Haunying Ni= Beijing welcomes you), how cute.

9.) Just like the one-house, one-child policy, the government also has a one-house, one-dog policy. All dogs are tiny and arent often on leashes, but are very well-behaved.

10.) Cars/buses/automobiles do not give the pedestrian the right-of-way. In fact, its the exact opposite.

11.) When answering the telephone, Chinese say "Wei?", when getting off the phone they ALL say "Bye bye."
