China Polishes up Bad Breath
August 14th, 2008
China has made a superb effort at putting on the biggest and best Olympics. Much construction has been done and many improvements have been made. These improvements are not only to how things look, but to the whole way that Chinese people act.
Amongst the do and don’ts in the etiquette handbook published by the Chinese government are smiling in public, not shaking hands for more than three seconds and thick-legged women wearing dark stockings.
Bad breath has been targetted, with taxi drivers being encouraged to hold the garlic.
Residents have also been told to stand in line at bus stops and not spit in public places. Taxi drivers too have been advised to go easy on the garlic to control bad breath. And everyone has been encouraged to learn the English language.
Look forward to rosy-mouthed cabbies in Beijing.
