Mainland Chinese tourists visiting Hong Kong Disneyland on its debut day smoked in nonsmoking areas went barefoot and even let children urinate in public, local newspapers reported.

I've read versions of this sentence at least 7 different times from 7 different news sources from 7 different countries. Something got out on the AP and took off like a dead man wearing red long johns.


While I am sure there are some pretty major cultural differences being exhibited at HKDL, I doubt that it is CONSTANTLY as bad of a problem that this report (and all of the clones) claim.

I think I'll just buy the water from now on.

I've witnessed the random napping phenomenon. We do business with Chinese customers who come to our facility for meetings. In between sessions, they can often be seen napping in various chairs outside of the conference rooms. zzzzzzz

if they're anything like the meetings I've attended, you cant fault 'em for zonking out. I usually start to glaze over about 10 minutes in.

50 years of Communism or not, nothing is going to get rid of the ingrained Chinese profit motive. They are the model for the Ferengi on Star Trek.

I'm not sure, however, that bad manners = profits, though rule-breaking might. Not flushing after using the restroom facilities does not constitute breaking a rule, and cannot possibly lead to a profit for the filthy, disgusting Chinaman who has no honor.

In any event, do we even need another reason not to visit a Disneyland with 4 attractions?

Oh, and I moved this thread. Unless we're talking filth instead of about filth, this does not belong out in the Parking LoT.

Ooooh, two uses of moderating powers in one day! Don't let it go to your head.

The Chinese Napping Phenom is heroic! I love napping.
