born in where is not a problem, the main issue is 眼界﹐you got it? even somebody born in a little village of Africa can have 眼界, if you show to others that you are shocked by an elevator only shows people how 沒有眼界 you are!!! (AKA 井底之蛙)

somewhereintime

you bet

but you know what? I really love, respect & proud of China, our motherland... be careful I don't mean 共產黨﹐我只是說 “中國”﹐孕育我們的土地﹐有超過五千年文化的家鄉

x2  I'm always a proud Chinese Canadian

當然我們生在 HK 是比較幸運﹐見過好多野﹐正如我十幾年前已經在香港中環工作﹐那些樓四十層﹐電梯又快又靜﹐但並唔等於我停留在HK 見過的東西上面﹐我們還去日本﹐去歐洲﹐去其他地方擴闊眼界﹐才不會讓自己變成井中之蛙。。。我這樣說也不是說我甚麼都見過﹐不要誤會﹐我越見得多也發現自己真的識得好少。。。 只是﹐正如我上面所言﹐你不懂得一條化學方程式﹐或者怎樣醫癌症﹐都不會比人笑﹐但竟然為一架電梯﹐一件香港二十年前已有的東西﹐小孩子都用慣用熟的東西而驚訝﹐就算真是這樣都不該讓人知﹐暗啞底咪算囉﹐點解要話比人聽自己有多麼無知呢﹖這不是更加無知嗎﹖怎樣代表加拿大呢﹖間接令人笑加拿大人是鄉下人吧﹖

假如你現在看見自動沖水的廁所而週圍告訴人你的大發現﹐一樣會比人笑﹐就是這個意思。。。

sigh... seriously, Canada's technology in general is behind from Hong Kong, and some cities in China. But Canada's selling point should be the best place to live in the world, with good social benefits.
So it is good to know the different, but really hard to compare and say whether Canada is better/Hong Kong is better/China is better~~~ It really depends on what you want in the first place
And I agree with Littleprince about "暗啞底咪算囉"
If I go back to Hong Kong/China now I'll be a 鄉下人 too....

Hmm... being proud of oneself and one's origin is nice.... but when it went overboard, that's arrogance.

I am just amazed at the speed where the conclusion was reached that the Canadian reporter was a 井中之蛙. I'd personally give the benefit of doubt to the Canadian reporter, and think that he/she was just being 客氣. I find the elevator in the CN tower to be very fast and quiet too, despite being a honger. In fact, I find infrastructure in China to be more amazing than a lot of places in HK. Newly built stuff will always be better, I won't be surprised if the Canadian reporter just happened to visit a newly implemented/renovated elevator in HK. North American infrastructure have always been much older, just beacuse it have been developed much earlier. If it works, why fix it? In comparison, China's infrastructure is very new. Am I supposed to be called a 井中之蛙 just because I find the new train/building/bridge/etc in China to be awesome?

HK infrastructures have always been world class, I'm not denying that. But attacking someone whose might just have been humble, sterotyping Canadians in general, and in the process to self inflate one's ego, is quite arrogant. This is not the first time I've read articles from Singtao to be self inflating and putting down other nationalities, especially local Canadians. I simply find it disgusting and disappointing. As Chinese, I don't know where our virtue of humbleness have went after all these years of rapid ascension in the world stage (can't deny that I also am an offender sometimes). However as a majorly published newspaper, it's just unacceptable. I guess we have learned nothing about multi-culturalism after all these years in Canada, and that's just sad.

It's not a technology problem. It's a money problem. Go to Shangri-la in downtown. I'm sure the elevator is gonna be nice and quiet and fast. Canada is never featured as a place where there's a lot of private business capital pouring in for capital investment projects like building tall buildings with fancy elevators.

Regardless, I don't see how that makes Canadians (whom are all immigrants anyways, just like u and I), "好天真好傻的﹐特別是白人", or "井底之蛙". I've seen countless amazingly smart um.... non-Chinese Canadians. Besides, when they haven't seen something u've taken for granted for years, you consider them as "井底之蛙". Then what should they call you when you haven't seen something that they've taken for granted for a long time?

This Singtao article didn't demonstrate anything in regards to '見識' to me. Rather, it demonstrated to me that there are many Chinese out there that have became amazingly arrogant over the years of rapid development that's taking place in China.

Finally... if a lot of caucassian is being discriminatory, it doesn't make it right to do the same back to them. It just makes one as disgusting as the discriminatory arrogant individual that is being despised of in the first place... kinda like Mr. T...
