Today was a funny Beijing day.

I went to the bus stop and the guard was making everyone wait on line. She told me to get on line and I said I didn't want to. She asked me where I was going and when I told her, she reiterated her request for me to get on line. I told her I didn't want to again. I could see she was getting a little annoeyed, so I told her I would get on last. Then, since it was morning and i was a little phlegmatic (and not thinking), I spat into the street. She told me not to do that. She told me I couldn't stand where I was standing. I left and waited till the bus came and got on last.

Basically, all the Chinese people were waiting in a very orderly fashion and being good citizens. Then the lone foreigner comes along, refuses to wait in line and spits into the street.
