不知道是否離題.上星期睇中文电視新開，有一則軟性新聞ｏ提及日本人路不拾遺和遵守交通手則過馬路的美德.有一個日本人接受訪問時話，這些美德是自幼受家庭教育所培養出來的。
但我有一個日本朋友跟我說,他們路不拾遺是因為 ...

I don't quite care about the hidden intention, but at least the outcome is good! And it's a nice packaging!
We have signs posted by the cities for $2000-$3000 penalty if dog owners don't clean up after their dogs, but still dogs poo everywhere! Isn't it CAD$2000 a lot of money? Smoking is not allowed inside elevators and would be fined for a few hundreds, but how many times we still smell smokes inside? People don't want to behave well they don't discipline.
So, why Japanese people are willing to behave well (no matter what true reason behind), but not other people (people from other countries won't mind having bad luck or what?)?

In addition, "Chinese" (mainly HKese) really know how to discriminate others well.
For example, people in HK Island think they're more superior than people in Kowloon; and then people in Kowloon think they're more superior than people in NT. Then, people in Central think they're higher class than people in Causewaybay, but then people in Causewaybay think they're higher class than people in Chai Wan! People in "Hong Kong" (neglecting HK Island or Kowloon or NT) will look down/discriminate their own "Hong Kong people", no need to say how they see people from other countries la (especially from Mainland China)!

井内嘅青蛙只会同井内嘅青蛙打，却不理会井上有一班西人正看著牠们评头品足，那些西方人望住个井入面那堆青蛙，雖然觉得啲青蛙有唔同大细，但对佢哋嚟講都係同一堆青蛙.....All "Made In China"！......惨！

Chinese do discriminate with each other, no matter from hk, taiwan or mainland (and I know some southern chinese dont get along with northern part of chinese). dont just target on hk ppl, ok?

That's why I said "mainly" but not "only".
And, I only wrote some examples happen in HK, can't list all the similar examples all over the world la.

絕對認同。以前總以為有些西人先會欺負中國人, 現在? 才發覺真真正正欺負中國人是我們中國人, 反而西人在一旁笑著我們呢。 唉... 之前我都撤撤底底被同包欺負過呀......

We must be pround for being "made in China" since we are made in China.

If we discriminate ourselves, we will be certianly discriminated by the mainstream. We must be pround of ourselves and earn the respect.

I spent around 1 hr before I can finish all the replies.  The topics involce Hongers, Mainlanders, Japaneses and even tawianese.

Currently I am in central library, and a male Korean in front of me took off his shoes and put his "beautiful feet" on the table. it is actually quite disgusting at a nice afternoon.     

To be honest, bad manner can happen to any nation.

My quesiton is: what is the best way to educate manner?  I have my education at public school in HK, but I have never had a class about manner.  Same thing for my tawianese and Japanese friends.

They all said they observe what their parents and adults do.   If their adults spit on the street, they would believe that spitting on the stree is correct, as all the people do the same thing.  So in the forum, a LYK sz that Japanese would have a big fine if they go against a certain rule.  Therefore, negative punishment can correct people's manner.

My point of this reply is that to improve Mainlanders or Hongers manner, Chinese government has a heavy task.

here is one of my experience with big 6 ppl. one day when i was working, i had two different experiences with ppl asking for directions, two big6 women, and then two HK women.first, the two big6 women just came up to me, and said "where is XXX?" in mandarin. i was debating with myself whehter to answer her in english and tell her i don't know where it is, but being the nice person that i am (ha) i decided to tell them. THEY DIDN'T EVEN SAY THANK YOU, and then just walked away. i was like wtf??? a few hours later, these two HK women (one around 40-ish and the other is probably late 60's or early 70) came up to me, and the 40-ish women, asked me in very good english, if i speak cantonese. I said yes, and she asked me for directions to a chinese restaurant. I pointed her the way, and BOTH of the women said thank you to me before they walk away.

I know we shouldn't discriminate against our own people (us being chinese). but seriously, stop saying that we are the same. I am sure that some China people have manners and some HK people have no manners, but from my own experience, there is a huge disproportion between the two.
