Asian people are fussy.
Proof 1. The Elevator puzzle
Everytime you riding an elevator in Aisa this is what's happen. You can bet a million that they will try to get in the elevator before you get out. Doesn't matter if it's the bottom floor, they will try to force their way in. Even if you are 6'2" and have a backpack in the same size as them.
The Elevator puzzle also occurs when you stand in line for the elevator (and obviously waiting for it). They will always squeeze before you, no matter what. This funny behavior can also be implied at the subway and practically every given situation who has a line involved.
Swedes is born and raised that you NEVER skip a line. That's why it is so funny to look at Western people (me included), we all get annoyed when this happen.
Proof 2. The complete lack of ratiocination
Whenever you gonna take a taxi or ask for direction in Macau this phenomenom take place. You ask the driver to go to The Venetian (one of the most famous hotels in Macau) he will not understand you at all. You try to say "The Venetian" 10 times and explain:
- The hotel in Taipa, The Venetian, BIG hotel.
Nothing works. Then the staff from the hotel comes to your rescue (you usually take a taxi outside an hotel). They will ask you where you heading and you answer "The Venetian". The staff will then open the front door and simple say "The Venetian" and then like a miracle the driver suddenly understand. "Aah. Venetian?".
This phenomenom can also be spotted in Vietnam.
Proof 3. Their sense of humour
Here is the top 3 jokes in Asia. Sorry folks for giving it away. Hopefully the Stand-up scene won't die completely.
Joke 1. Stand beside a foreigner (the foreigner must be at least 40 cm taller) and put your hands above his head and measure his height. Then measure yourself and say "Same, same". Hilarious!
Joke 2. Give the wrong change whenever a foreigner shop. Works everytime. So funny! Laught hysterically when he finds out.
Joke 3. Point at the foreigners and laught. As simple as Dell.
Just to make sure everyone get this. YES I am generalizing . NO I do not hate Asians. They are funny. In their own special way.
