Hi Nina ~ One really only sees what one's country is like from the 
outside looking in.... returning to Australia after a short time in 
China and Hong Kong  I truly saw how foul the immigration officials are 
here. Whilst standing in line with other travellers from Hong Kong, I 
saw one fat immigration official singling out Chinese people and yelling 
at them "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?". After the politeness of people in HK it 
was very embarrassing. ~ Ben
