Meanwhile in China: "Sorry, you're just not tall enough to get promoted "

Yeah Germany is eco-friendly

As a german I can deeply relate. Whats the thing about Smalltalk or talking around the bush in soooo many countries? If you have to say something then do it and not let me guess what you really mean.......why wasting time? *sight*

The Chinese line look like the line in my former school cafeteria

Oh I want to be like Germany but am China

I don't like to admit it but I am like China

Why am I so much like China

I like the German one. Pictures aren't the same as seeing it

This is very ironic

*noise level everywhere in China. Chinese cities are full of sounds coming out of absolutely everywhere.

Doggio is better 100%

But rain is pretty

People, this isn't saying that Chinese have low self-esteem or don't value themselves. It's comparing the individualism of the West to the collective mindset of the East. To a westerner the self is the primary consideration; in the east the self is a small part of the wider community

I mean the Chinese one is not wrong. Saying as someone who lived in Germany

I'm one of the little lonely dots on the German side. I would say I wish I lived on the circle side, but I would probably get overwhelmed by my nearest dots and try to leave early.

So, Chinese children murder their family members?

More variety in Germany? Oh no, I get it. Cold and hot meals. Ok.

I wonder if the one on the left is really accurate?

"Beim Bauchschmerzen": actually it´s "Bei".... sorry

Crowds suck

Everyday is like this in China.

Late evenings in India on the right. Especially markets and the beach.

In Western culture, traditionally, Sunday was a day of prayer and rest. Even though the Western world appears to be less religious, the tradition of rest and relaxation (and watching sports on TV) is prevalent.

Omg too tru even in America

Don’t think so. China has 200% more space per capita. It’s a choice.

Germans won’t look you in the eyes as you pass each other, but, approached in their line of walking with a smile and saying, Bitte, sprecken Zie English!, they love to help and smile back!

I lived in Germany in the 90s and the streets were pretty crowded on any given day... is it because people are in church in the West that there are less people?

Germany and Denmark are the same. No one is outside, just sitting inside in front of a screen

That's weird, I buy a lot of dtuff ftom China, sellers and couriers fon't work weekends in Ghangzhou or other areas I am told.

Yes. And yes, that's usual saying - all problems in China, because to many people.

Yeah, Sunday is a completely different thing in East Asia

The West picture is about fifty years out of date ☺️ ... Sunday is shopping day now

So basically "disappoint your family in any way and be disowned" in China. No real chance to develop your own genuine personality in a world like that

Is this to do with skin colour or tone? Germans prefer darker skin and Chinese prefer lighter skin tones? If it is not, I don’t get it.

i take one at both times lol

I don't understand this one
