Experience the opportunity to witness 2 entirely different people in the same restaurant while enjoying my buffet.
See, when it comes to buffet, I don't just eat and eat. Haha...
Person A is a Chinese Singaporean with well-to-do family. Both parents dressed well with expensive accessories. Father is only concerned with imitating the slang of his European friend and impressing him. Mother is busy giving in to person A.
Person B is a European with an average family. The whole family, including his sister and her family were seated together, talking and enjoying their meals.
The only similarity between the two were likely be their IQ level.
Person A is a boy about the age of 6. Person B is a teenager with Down Syndrome.
That's the only similarity as far as I can see.
The boy was shouting, screaming and running around the restaurant, taking utensils from almost every table if nobody stops him. Then giving it to his mother who ran after him, not to intervene buy to support his utensils collecting spree. Once in a while, he would run back to his table, grabbed some food using his hand, stuffed into his mouth then continue his routine of disturbing others.
The teenager on the other hand, was polite and observe social norms. He eats well and talks softly to his family members. I met him at the egg station and was delighted to see him waiting patiently for his turn to order his omelette. He even say thank you to the cook after he got his omelette.
Am I saying that Europeans are much better than Asians?
Definitely not. Earlier on, a group of European men seated at the table next to ours, was seen grabbing 2 containers of fresh milk from our table. After they finished the milk, they just placed the containers on our table, not in its original place and didn't even bother to say thank you or sorry. Walking back to our table, the group was seen dragging our table to form a bigger table to accommodate their friends who have just arrived. They are aware that the table belongs to us. Moreover, our food and bags was also left on the table. I have to tell them its our table before they stopped their nonsense.
A lot of time, we judge others based on their disability, race, country origin and wealth. I am just trying to proof that it is not true.
