mainlander or not...
i deal with this type of people with the all or nothing response:
1. i say/do nothing, & let them be... (心情好, or just feel 廢事煩)
2. 唔聲唔聲嚇佢一驚,狼/狠/大聲過佢。唔發火當我死貓~ this only happens when they repeatedly do the same thing, or eventually gets to my threshold nerves... (pretty hard to piss me off like that, as i have high tolerance. but some did blast me off) then i will fxxxxing make them pay.
somewhat disagree this point. 我是以中國人驕傲... 但很多時候,我覺得"大陸人"很掉中國人的臉...
外國人問我是從哪裡來的,我會跟大部分香港人一樣的回答:
"I'm from Hong Kong..." 但我會更強調... "I'm from Hong Kong, China... NOT FROM MAINLAND CHINA..."
i don't think so... my parents born in HK and they are around 50 yrs old now... they are not like that.
If "二,三十年前既香港人咪又係一樣"... then my parents would be like that too, right?!
and I'm not young too... if "二,三十年前既香港人咪又係一樣"... then I should've learned all these when I was young.
In general .. Chinese .. East Indian .. French .. (yeah, somehow, french too!) are not that polite ..
I always warn my friends, when we go out to eat or go to some public areas, we should keep our voice down .. speaking LOUD is bad already .. . and speaking chinese loud (cantonese or mandarin) in Canada .. is even worse ..
(Calgary here, so english is still the majority language ... )
Many of my new clients are from China (some from Northern China and some from South China) and almost all are very nice.
However, so many Mainlanders seem so rude. One time I was in NYC in a tour and the tour bus included many Mainland Chinese tourists. Every time when we leave the bus these people pushed and pushed while people stand in the centre to wait for departing the bus. I was so annoyed that I finally turn around to 罵 them. Later I found out that the worst one was actually a university professor. May be its just their normal way of behaviour. But talking loud, no regard for others, peeing and pooing in public places (hopefully just children) give all Chinese a bad impression to others.
