Without culture, one may say. Gradually we have improved, through education, and better living standards. Now we seem to be going backwards as a society.

Among other things, definitely notice more eating and drinking in the MTR -- this despite the signs that still tell people not to do so.<br /><br />Also, maybe it's indeed because more people have to stand now but I've noticed an increased reluctance on the part of a number people to give up their seats to the elderly, etc.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154691.post-15496756963603028802014-05-04T15:52:52.828+08:002014-05-04T15:52:52.828+08:00It started very well.

I still think it compares very well to such as the London tube, New York subway, etc. But, increasingly, the experience of travelling on it is not as comfortable as doing so on the trains of such as Tokyo.YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.com
