Lately I've noticed a few changes in my behavior. I find myself jumping lines, or at least sticking my elbow in front of people to preserve my place. The other day I caught myself pushing & shoving to get on the bus. Last week I stole a seat from someone on the subway - well, I just got there first. & this morning I impatiently pushed the "close" button in the elevator, as every other person in Shanghai does. Could I be turning Shanghainese?
Do those "close" buttons actually make the door close faster, or are they just there to entertain people while waiting for the door to close?
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I wonder that myself :)
