Q: What's the most 'mafan' thing about living in China?
Foreigners who insist on mixing Chinese words & English words in a question.
haha. Actually, for me, it is the supposedly simple things. Like shopping at a department store and having to go to 4 different registers to purchase things because only certain registers have certain things in their SKU systems.
Mr_spoon:
I often do it (in French as well), but it's not on purpose, a bad reflex I got :(
People speaking english with an accent........or trying to talk in chinese and then realizing that the other person's chinese is worse than mine that he can't catch up with what am saying " The person is chinese by the way"
The fire works/crackers. How I hate them, especially when done at an hour when we should be sleeping! Last night, the owner of a new business place near my apartment was at it - fireworks at 3a.m. I couldn't sleep again even 3 hours after the annoying sound had gone off. Yawning, yawning,yawning right now - I didn't have enough sleep because of irritating noise from fireworks/crackers.

Haha, they're called firecrackers, dude. Fireworks are those fings wot fly up in the sky. Crackers is wot you eats wiv cheeese.
trashes thrown just on the street, even if bin is within two steps...
