BEEN IN ASIA 11 YEARS TEACHING. THE WORST IS CHINA-NOISY, CONSTRUCTION EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE TALK LOUD, VOMIT NEVER GETS CLEANED UP ON THE BUS, BUSES BREAK DOWN IN TUNNELS, PEOPLE ARE PANIC DRIVEN TO RUN TO GET ON BUSES, GO THROUGH IMMIGRATION, NO MANNERS, NO LINING UP, SPIT GETS ON ME ON A WINDY DAY, SPIT IN SWIMMING POOLS, DEAD DOGS ARE SLAUGHTERED IN MARKETS, HANG OUTSIDE OF RESTAURANTS, MEN DONT RESPECT WOMEN MOST MALE COWORKERS ARE NOT AS POLITE AS WOMEN COWORKERS. THEY DONT WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE EATING FOOD WITH THEIR HANDS LIKE SEAFOOD. NO SOAP IN THE SCHOOLS-EVEN AFTER SARS. 100.000 PEOPLE ARE KILLED LAST YR. 2004, DRIVERS ARE WRECKLESS. PEOPLE DON'T LOOK WHERE THEY ARE WALKING AND WALK JUST IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO STOP WALKING TO LET THEM GO. THEY STARE WITH NO CONCERN OF YOUR FEELINGS. THE KIDS DON'T ACT LIKE HUMAN BEINGS-LIKE WILD ANIMALS WITH NO UPBRINGING. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE MUCH BETTER. A MAN HIT ME IN THE ST. DEMANDING MY MONEY IN BEIJING IN THE DAY AND I CALLED FOR HELP BUT NO CHINESE WOULD INTERVENE! A CHINESE MAN TRIED TO RAPE MY TEACHER FRIEND BY BARGING INTO HER APT. WHEN SHE UNLOCKED THE DOOR. POLICE IN HELONGONG WOULD NOT BELIEVE HER STORY.
