The first 35 minutes were fun. Was just paraded around the mall with a bunch of sexy Santa's helpers while saying hello to kids and taking some photos in front of this giant Christmas tree made out of candy.

I would periodically open my bag and give candy to the kids. Well, it was supposed to be kids at least. It was mostly adults reaching over and snatching whatever they could. They were literally taking candy from children. At least 20 times someone took a candy directly out of the hand of a 3-5 year old kid.

Then we went outside. This is when things got bad. I was absolutely fucking swarmed. I thought kids were going to end up being hurt because I was being dog piled on from every direction. Adults were trying to grab handfuls of candy out of my bag whenever I went to open it. If I wasn't handing out candy they would swarm me while saying "give me gift, give me gift" with there hands out.

The whole experience was insane and wasn't worth the 1,000rmb ($200cdn) I was paid to do it. Was only about an hour long but those 15 minutes outside soured the whole thing for me. The adults were fucking horrendous. I'd expect children to act like that but not adults.

Seriously? That's fucked. Just for the sake of candy too, it's not like it was anything particularly valuable or unique.

It's not just that, it's just th mentality here when something is free. People get overly greedy and take everything they possibly can.

I had a flight delayed in Bangkok for 8 hours which for me was great because I had a 10 hour layover in Shanghai. They put us up in the first class lounge. The Chinese destroyed the buffet they had placed out. People were walking away with 3 plates piled as high as possible while taking 5-6 cans of pop or entire bottles of alcohol. They then rioted because they thought they deserved beds. That night ended up being fucking hilarious to me and gave me a glimpse at how a lot of mainlanders act.

That's what I said to the girl who hired me. You'd swear I was giving away money with the way they were acting.

I'm shocked no one didn't. There were kids no more than 3 who were practically being crushed into my legs because of these nutjobs.

That's actually kind of scary. But still, that $200 an hour rate tho.

Christmas in China is like Chinese New Year is to Americans. People recognize what it is and vaguely recognize the traditions, but on the whole it's a foreign novelty.

Schools are all open today. The malls will have some basic Christmas decorations up at most and maybe a couple people in Christmas clothes handing out candy. Other than that it has no meaning here besides with the Christian minority.

Jeez. If any adult acted like that in the mall with a Santa and kids around, they'd probably be castrated by angry parents in a heartbeat.

Yeah I saw a video once of them enjoying a buffet of...lobster? Something like that. It was fucking disgusting, everyone grabbing what they could as fast as they could and then 95% of their plates were half-full when they were done because they got too much.

Fucking disgusting culture tbh
