Shanghai Subway Ride

[anangryasian]

thanks for posting. I always search up these videos cus it reminds me of my grandparents' place and their way of life

[djliquidsmoke]

I studied Mandarin for 8 years, i'm not chinese so even tho I am speaking chinese the people just look at my asian girlfriend as if she can speak chinese but she can't. its funny. I'm glad 20,000 people looked at this video, i had no idea it was going to get any attention. I don't like China as much as I used to, they closed all the night clubs and basically keep building western style buildings so it just looks more and more not like china.

lol xD the best part is at 4:50 :)

Speaking "Chinese English"

Don't worry. Give the Shanghai Metro a few years and it will be just as filthy and disgusting as the London Tube and the NYC Subway.

[xrey2000]

@lukebccb No it won't, you know why? Because people respect public property there no one will dare destroy public property its an Asian thing. Just check out the subway in Singapore, Japan and Korea there are no graffiti in sight, its call respect. But I guess people in the west call what you got going there freedom of expression.

Shanghai subway is very new but looks like it is already 20 years old.

I don't like Shanghai subway. They close at 9pm! Can you believe it?!

[ampinoy13]

A whole lot cleaner the the New York City subway. They should take note of this video.

@ampinoy13

It's unfair to compare NYC subway to Shanghai Metro. after all Shanghai didn't have any metro line until 1995, so naturally Shanghai Metro will be cleaner. But NYC subway is still one the best systems in the world.

[ampinoy13]

@fragelrocks I agree with you that the NYC subway system is outstanding. I lived in midtown Manhattan in 1969-70 and would not have near the experience there if it wasn't for the subway. At that time the fare was 25 cents and you could (as you can now) ride endlessly through all five boroughs by utilizing the transfer stations.

[milasimi]

London Tube is the OLDEST in world. Chinese should be grateful they've got another know-how to steal.

Shanghai subway's just another thing Chinese did NOT give to the world nowadays to improve it.

The facilities are superb (that's what happens when officials have the money) but the personal culture of the average Chinese, especially if not Shanghanese, is below all mediocre standards (that's what happens when people don't have the money).

[thesims2man]

do you even know what you're talking about?

[xxaxziminrax]

@milasimi and you are an example of someone with a good personal culture ? you gotta be kidding me, Hongkongers are the rudest chinese in the whole China after british occupation, wonder why lol

[Bouncybon]

@xxaxziminrax HK Chinese are quick reacting and abrupt - not rude. In fact they can be wonderful friends. I have HK friends 20 years after leaving the city. "British occupation" is inaccurate. We STARTED the place in the 1800s. It was a barren rock. The Chinese accepted that we could create something new and we worked with them for over 150 years to make on of the world's great cities. We handed it back to China in 1997 when the lease expired. HK WAS occupied once - in WW2 - by the Japanese.

@milasimi

i think shanghainese are like the warmest people around and not rude at all. i'm half shang.

[ivy8546]

I miss Shanghai!!! The tube in London is terrible!

[aeronuk1]

@ivy8546 But remember the oldest lines of the London tube are 150 years old! it was a pioneer of metro systems.

[shogun132]

OMG I VE BEEN HERE ITS THE FAKE MARKET

my scarfs come from there

have u been to london subways? so crappy

[TypeTuber]

I ride that every day, 8am and 6:30 pm to home, you need to have "patience" to say the least. The subway is pretty nice here otherwise. You mandarin is where mine was about a year ago, it worked! I'll always appreciate those horns reciting the same message over and over

[marxkar]

you should film it at 7 a.m. or 6-7 p.m.

Because then you have REAL values ;-D.
