| Beijing to Cabbies: Mind Your Manners |
| 2007-04-19 |
| BEIJING (AP) - Brush your teeth after eating garlic, be polite and don't smoke while driving. That was the message Wednesday to Beijing's taxi drivers... Officials cautioned female cabbies against brightly dyed red or yellow hair and large, oversized earrings. Male drivers have been told to keep their hair short. And both were admonished to clean their cabs and brush away the garlic, a key ingredient in many Chinese dishes. ...They've also been told to stop spitting in public, prodded to speak better English and encouraged to form neat lines instead of pushing and shoving. More Chinese pre-Olympic angst at link... |

| #1 I live in a city with something like 500,000 speakers of one or another Chinese dialect. Great local color and great food. But for the love of God, I wish someone would convince them to eat with their mouths closed. It is a barnyard sound. |
