Well. I hate to say it, but I agree with the article completely. I have constantly been shocked at the absolute lack of hygiene in the bathrooms here in China. From not flushing, to not washing hands, to leaving certain soiled female products unwrapped on the floor. I have to say though, Chinese men's habits are in general quite.. questionable.Maybe this will change in the future?

“Chinglish” and the Absurdly Translated Signs - 12 weeks 6 days ago

Have you ever suffered from Chinese people’s poor English? I wouldn’t be surprised if you say yes. But what makes the whole thing worse is not their lack of vocabulary (in fact, a lot of English phrases can be expressed in simple words), but the misuse of direct translation between English and Chinese without understanding the social and cultural contexts behind.

"Where do you draw the line between the culturally-explainable and the insane, between the everyday person on the street and the nutter? When you first get to China, and even sometimes for years afterward, the temptation is to try to use every single person’s behavior as a means of better understanding the culture. But the thing is, every country has nutters."
