Which reminds me: has anyone noticed how Chinese are consistently
the worst tourists? They burp, spit, push, obstruct, and generally
conduct themselves with the manners of a goat.
I don't know what part of the world you are from. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Chinese people I have met are among the most polite People I know. Keep in mind we are known for being over polite at times.

henceforth, as in a petri dish where they can bee observed and analyzed
in a sort of semi-isolation, with exogenous elements and strange stimuli
lancing out very particular behaviors.
I've seen all kinds of Americans/Brits, Germans, Japanese, and Africans
touristing, and you get all flavors, from the polite and respectful to the
outright animalistic. However, the ones consistently ranking among the
worst are the Chinese. This, of course, comes from my own ethnographic
notes but, truth be told, I do not recall other country organizing courses
and pamphlets to show their people how to behave when traveling abroad.
