Pedestrians usually just go without any rush or a realisation that I have let them go. I also think that things will get better, as I notice that the more expensive the car, the more the driver would like the world to know that he is super-rich, therefore not in a rush at all, and happy to let the peasants/pedestrians go in front of him. As Shanghainese people are desperate to have this rich/wealthy image, I believe that they will also start this 'you go first for I do not need your favours as I am wealthy' thang. I would also like to say that I truly dislike Wang JianShuo's blog, finding it dull and obvious, and I am also happy for him that his dream of being in America and looking down on other Chinese people has come true.</p>
