1. Loud noise in public **** occasions
Almost every friend who has submitted a survey feedback has mentioned this point. Chinese people talking loudly on the phone in public, or talking loudly in restaurants seem to be *often* criticized, and have even caused Americans to form a stereotype of Chinese people-talking loudly.
2. Square Dancing in the Park
In *New York City*, it's almost impossible for Chinese seniors to find a wide-open space for their morning exercise, so they have to choose a small park right next to a residential neighborhood. Nearby, in addition to the Chinese also live a lot of Hispanic workers, many of them are late at night before work, want to sleep comfortably, but also by the early morning 5:00 a.m. out of the morning exercise of the Chinese elderly people to disturb, is indeed also understandable.
3. Drying underwear on the balcony
The United States, as one of the most technologically *advanced* countries in the world, is notorious for the laziness of its people, especially in New York City. Due to the extremely valuable living space in New York City, it's difficult to put down a washing machine at home, and people usually go to the neighborhood laundromat to do their laundry. Plus, most apartments don't have balconies, so people simply dry their clothes in the laundromat before bringing them home. Therefore, it is rare to see people drying their clothes on the balcony or outside the window. As for underwear, Americans believe that this is more of a personal matter and should not be seen by others.
4. Wearing pajamas on the street
Don't ever think that wearing pajamas on the street is just a common phenomenon in China, as many middle-aged and old-aged immigrants living in Chinese communities also maintain this habit. However, the American society is more polarized, and some people feel that this is not a good look, and is detrimental to the image of the city.
5. Communicating in Chinese despite the presence of foreign friends
When you go to a party with more than two Chinese friends, it's common for the Chinese to chat in Chinese while the foreigners, who don't know Chinese, are left out in the cold, feeling very awkward and uncomfortable. Many Chinese, including international students, are not used to the American social scene and will often chat amongst themselves as long as there is a Chinese person next to them, not caring much about the pace of the party. In a party, try to use English to get everyone involved in the conversation.
