There is a private academy in my area which hosts a fair number of Chinese students. A shuttle bus delivers them to the local supermarket a couple of times a week. As a rule, they don’t seem to have any situational or spatial awareness whatsoever. They often block an aisle as they conduct prolonged, animated conversations (in Chinese) and are oblivious to the jams which develop on either side of them. Many times they change their mind and back out of an aisle by walking backward with no attempt at looking behind them. If they smack into you in the course of that maneuver, it is with no more regard than if they had run into a counter. More than once; upon seeing the shuttle, I’ve sat in the truck and read until they scamper out and are ferried away. Their actions seem purely cultural. I’ve never detected animus from any of them.
