14. You're a wok user.
15. You only make long distance calls after 7pm.
16. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached – it means they're fresh.
17. You never call your parents just to say hi.
18. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they'll ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.
19. Your parents tell you to boil herbs and stay inside when you get sick. They also tell you not to eat fried foods or baked foods because they're heaty (yeet hay in Cantonese).
20. You e-mail your Chinese friends at work, even though you only sit 10 feet apart.

美国人超受不了中国人不入乡随俗。说实话,我还就真受不了他们地理,历史,数学知识的贫乏。他们老觉得美国快餐文化应该统治全地球。恕不知,中国人,欧州人都说美国人没文化。美国人穿的没品(破破烂烂),吃的没品(JUNK FOOD,THANKSGINVG吃南瓜,土豆,老玉米,HAHA,笑死我了) ,玩的没品(吸毒,酗酒,乱交),最有品的就是GREEN BILL 了,不过,好象世界货币当不了几天了。好莱污电影里基本上没有称得上文学的,奥斯卡得奖作品更是污七八糟,有的比李安的色戒还烂。有时候跟老美谈文化,我才更加明白中文中对牛弹琴的真正含义。。。

'全世界的排华浪潮很快要来啦',不会吧。。。听着怕怕的。
我觉得国人的确有一些不太好的习惯。好像我们对他人的privacy和权益不是那么sensative. 但是事情都在改变啊。美国和日本暴富起来的时候去欧洲旅游,是最被当地人瞧不起的游客。。。但是慢慢的世面见多了,就好了。 中国问题多多,但是改变起来,也会很快的。现在大家都抢着跟中国人做生意,看在钱的份上,他们也得忍啊,呵呵。不过我们跟外面交往多了,也会慢慢洗心革面的, i believe.
