[quote=GRIZ326,246697]Any visitor leaves a country with an impression. The impress may change visit to visit. >>>No. 1 Curious ... Whenever there is an accident around the streets, numerous bystanders are around the spot. This is true in most places I have been it is not uniquely Chinese. >>>No.2 Highlight the "face" ... Chinese attaches much importance to "the face" or respectability. I have heard this many, many times. I have never seen it in a way that I could recognize it. The only thing I have seen is that most Chinese people try to behave politely and with dignity - at least in their dealing with me. >>>No.3 ack the sense of punctuality I have not noticed this at all.... In my experience, this is utter nonsense. The writer must have had a girlfriend who took too much time powdering her nose. ;-) >>>No.4 Value Friendship This is something I tend to agree with...although I do not know about the part of putting friendship above the law. ...but I think most peoples value friendship, after all, the world is a lonely place without friends. >>>No.5 Ambitious ... all its nationals have a strong sense of development and being competitive . Ambition is certainly visible in the big cities. ...but this is not a trait of Chinese people, it is common to people all over the world when opportunity is available. Heck...I'd bet you could start a gold rush any where in the world by putting a few big gold nuggets in a stream and making certain the discovery makes the TV news!!! :-) The traits this visitor noticed - for the most part - are common to all peoples, although Chinese people do seem to be very friendly not only among themselves...but even with a traveler like me.
