Welcome to Gaia! ::

that seems to be a very very ummm weird person. and i hate to say it. but none of those things apply to "chinese" alone. i mean. we unwrap the christmas presents carefully but we dun reuse the paper. i keep them in a scrapbook with photo with the present and all that. like for memory and sometimes who cares if u rip the whole damn thing? we dun use the dishwasher coz we ain't lazy. we wash the dishes ourselves. sometimes if u put them in the dishwasher they get all greasy and all that. my friend is hungarian and she doesn't use the dishwasher...piano in the living room means someone in the family plays the damn thing. and this is all so stereotype! like the bringing a present to someone's house when u visit them it's called manners! grr reading this is so making me angry.......such a stereotype!!!!!! scream i'm gonna stop or else i'll serious kill something near me. i really hate it when ppl make up all these stupid stereotypes...............................
