Shanghai Shanghai!

Here i come Shanghai Shanghai China! Reach at Pudong International Airport at Saturday. Reach hotel in Shanghai downtown district at a cozy nice hotel name Home Inn.

Anyway, what i found out the difference in culture between Malaysian, Singaporean and Shanghaian is a lot to be compare.

Malaysian - laid back, cozy, slow pace life
Singaporean - fast, competitive, safe environment
Shanghaian - faster, more competitive, very loud speaking :) *esp on the phone*

I also notice some certain traits of people in Shanghai and i will try to list it down for your references.

1. Same skins as Chinese south east Asians but speaks different slang of Mandarin.

2. Some kinda rude in speaking. Loud and non-bothering with others next to them.

3. Driving dangerously. VERY dangerously. DO NOT stop for people crossing the road.

4. Lots of bicycle and electric bicycle even at the downtown and middle of shopping district. Imagine Orchard Road filled with bicycle everywhere. Imagine Bintang Walk full of bicycle.

5. Some rural workers working at the busiest junctions and roads at the shopping centre NOT wearing any tops *man* ;)

6. The underground train network is full of people. MORE people than Singapore MRT. Been there and tried that.

7. Certain ladies are kinda *kampung*. Eg, Squatting or sitting at stairs wearing skirts and open their legs like as if they are wearing jeans *you can actually see what they are wearing underneath* and its not particularly a single person. LOTS of ladies at library, book store, food courts, and etc.

8. They do not dare to take unnecessary risk at work. Eg, if u ask the waitress for an extra slice of lemon for your ice lemon tea, they will actually ask the permission from their superior. And they come back to you and inform you its not allowed and you do have to pay EXTRA for that slice of lemon.

9. Lots Lots lots lots of people in Shanghai. 17mil people in Shanghai.

10. Lots of VW cars. Volkswagen cars in Shanghai. Taxis using VW cars.

11. Kinda of dirty compare to Singapore on the streets.

12. People still spits at the walkway full of people walking along. Even in shopping complexes dustbin.

13. They serve beers in food courts and its cheap compare to Singapore and Malaysia.


Will further update when times allowed and more discovery.

Lol! Enjoy...
