I had it worst. When we were in universal studios, a PRC lady pushed my gal aside and stand infront of my gal so that she gets a better view of the fireworks! My husband asked her why is she doing this to a kid??!!! She totally ignore us!! Thanks for the policy

If don't call PRC 小姐, then call 'aunty' ? Whether young or old ? :rotflmao:

Now you know why the China govt has to be so strict with their people ?
Execution for graft, murder, poisoning etc. Or else those people will run amok. Have to be VERY strict. Can you imagine ? Fake eggs, poisoned milk powder. What else are they capable of :faint:

usually people called gu niang for young lady. thats the only thing i find very good in PRC. coz at least they bother to address someone properly. not just uncle or aunty.

In China, they address their helpers as 'ah yee'. I didn't know that...when I had to call my mum who was staying in my uncle's residence in Shanghai then and this 'ah yee' picke the phone. I really thought that was the relative :rotflmao:

i usually just say "您好，请问。。。。“


in restaurants, i usually call them "领班" or "服务生“

the best part is, here the PRC themselves fight each other and hate each other....hahaha.... :shock: :yikes:

in the past, they call:\"同志comrade....\"

now 同志 also means gays.... :evil:

When u dine in Ding Tai Feng, do u consciously switch to addressing them differently (instead of xiao jie) as almost all their service crew are from China/Taiwan?


Sounds like although I am on home ground, I have to be mindful of my p's n q's with regards to their culture. Addressing them as \"xiao jie\" will kena piak piak
