I am OP, I am living in Tianjin right now. In no way is that a "nice" place. There is poverty everywhere and more people than you would no what to do with. But, the difference is they take the little things that Americans pass by and have fun with them. Seriously when in america do you see a group of adult men sitting on the sidewalk playing cards and enjoying themselves. You bring up them being to lazy to be anywhere... the fact is they just dont care about what other people think. I mean they had fireworks for over 2000 years and only used them for entertainment. It took some european to turn it into a form of weapon. They are just humble nice people. If you say you know the culture and the language, then you know that they dont even have a lot of words for the bad things americans say about each other. Such as things like arrogance. Its just something that they dont do. They also do their work and know what the outcome is. They dont ask for tips or assume people will give them because they know what their work will give them and they simply do that. They dont assume someone is gonna give them more money for normal stuff. And dont say I dont know the culture, I have a chinese girlfriend here and spend a ton of time just me and here going around the city. I have been around the country already and yes, I see bad stuff in places. I could go on for so long, but China is sick and shut the fuck up about bashing it.
