That’s true, although people in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore control their behaviors very well with only requests from their governments. We westerners, on average, need to relearn our manners, put some aberrant factions of characters in their places and become more cohesive again.
“We westerners” need to learn our “manners?” Ha! I remember a couple of years ago going through customs in South Korea. Merely going from the airport tram to the stairs leading to the customs screening, little old Korean ladies would run and all of them would knock you on the ground to get to the stairs first.
