Well obviously you are not integrating well at all Bazzz - the Canadian norms are to hunt things with more legs then yourself, wear a checked shirt with the arms torn off - either a baseball cap or cowboy hat depending on which norm style you are heading towards, and drink beer frequently.

See another example of an immigrant not making the effort

(oh forgot about that whole Harley / cruiser issue and driving a large truck with a really cracked windshield)

The problem with this country (UK) is that we've been brainwashed in to thinking that immigrants=illegal immigrants/asylum seekers.

But you're just comparing Chinese traditions/customs etc to your own. I've never been to China, but have you thought that maybe they just dont share the same values. I'm sure they're very polite in their own way- it just might not be in the same way that we are polite.
I've seen plenty of people in Manchester refuse to offer the seats to the elderly/pregnant etc. Hell, every year we have stories of firemen being attacked with bricks, ambulance drivers beaten up, etc etc.

For a population of over 1bn, it's pretty arrogant to say they are all rude/arrogant.
You'll find rude/arrogant people in all walks of life.
