couple of weeks ago I was in your neck of the woods and I sprained my ankle. went to a pharmacy and asked for some pain relievers. woman there literally told me, in that awful back of throat accent, in very un-S broken english, no, waved her hand at me to go away, and added "mei you". I asked for a product in her store and she essentially told me to go fuck myself. I asked "are you from China", knowing that she was, and she said yes. utterly different from the normal, pleasant, human customer experience one has there with locals. but completely typical of china.

10 minutes in China and one hears this all the time, it's infuriating for those of us who come from civilized cultures

There are whole blogs about "mei you" I bet

My hotel in Taipei was full of mainlanders who talked and slammed their doors all night. It was brutal. But most brutal was what I saw in one of Taipei's ritziest shopping malls, where a mainland tourist took the dirty diaper off her baby, dropped it on the floor, and walked away, just leaving it there.

Taiwanese are seriously civilized, polite, and actually pretty cool people

They absolutely fucking HATE mainlanders

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3564354&forum_id=2Elisa#32919375)

their culture is centered around eating tons of delicious food and then being really clean and modern

I really enjoy being in Taiwan as much as I hate being in China; one time I was there I was moved to post a thread about what a tragedy it was that the communists conquered China because otherwise all of China might be as good a place as Taiwan (and Japan) is

good social contract, people are basically geared towards honesty and politeness (and family and good food), I will work with a Taiwanese on the shake of a hand whereas you cannot even trust a formal contract with a mainlander

Japanese are fundamentally civilized people

you know Japan, can you imagine them behaving like mainlanders? no, neither can I

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3564354&forum_id=2Elisa#32919649)

no "bigotry" towards civilized people like Japanese and Taiwanese itt

Known in Chinese as "up to the mountains and down to the farms," the urban-to-rural youth migration was part of China's decade-long Cultural Revolution, a social political movement initiated to implement Communism and Maoism in China by eliminating any capitalist, feudalistic and cultural elements.

Hu still remembers the luggage she brought: basic life necessities, the "Little Red Book" explaining Chairman Mao's theories -- a mandatory read for everybody -- and dozens of notebooks with hand-copied chapters from "Jane Eyre" and "Anna Karenina," which she sneaked in secretly -- these books had been banned for their perceived Capitalist connotations.

"I used to read those notebooks in secret under my blanket at midnight."

According to Chinese media, as many as 17 million "intellectual youths" in the country packed their bags and moved to some of the remotest parts of China. There, they transformed from care-free students to farmers.
