I can't speak on people from the mainland or the rest of asia, though I have noticed that mainlanders tend to do everything weirdly, or their way. |
Didn't mainlanders used try to illegally get into Hong Kong from China by swimming down there? I'm not good with my geography, so I'm not sure how far they had to swim, but I'd assume it's a pretty crazy swim. My mom told me she has a friend who got her foot bitten off by a shark. Now that's intense.
