Culture Difference

 Racial harmony, is not a new subject for Singaporean.  We have four main ethnic groups.  Rachial harmony has been one of key policies that makes Singapore strong today.

 However, I dare to say, every ethnic group has its own good and bad habits, which other ethnic groups could not appreciate nor stand.

Being a Chinese myself, I am well aware of among Chinese, there are so many types of Chinese.

There are many stereotypes regarding Chinese, I don't want to name them all, but the one thing I could not stand is :-

- They talk loudly in public, as if they own the whole world.

    I go to Bukit Timah Hill regularly, mostly of hikers enjoy the tranquility in  forest trail, but, here comes a group Chinese hikers, their voices are loud enough to scare away the birds, and piss off the other hikers;

 In the narrow trail, normally hikers will walk at left side to allow those who are faster to pass from behind and those face them to cross safely, but this group of Chinese, just jam the whole trail, yet walking  slowly and talking loudly.  Hikers from both sides keep saying " excuse me, excuse me".  they just act as if nothing happen.

That makes me 、むかつく.

It is no longer culture issue, but the civilization issue.  There are always people in any ethnic groups who are like that.
