i love Beijing because people are really respectful to elders. But old people here can get really stubborn. i was on the bus commuting to work. it was peak hour and an old granny came on board the bus. It was really crowded and people are giving their seats to the granny to sit so she won't fall.
BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO SIT!
She was saying "oh, it's ok young ppl, i can stand, I'm getting off 3 stops later...." The bus had to wait till she sits put so we can move on. it took around 10 minutes and i was almost late for work!
