english vs. chinese vs. cris never riding buses…hmmm
I took the bus the other day to go to Vancouver. sitting on a bus with 50 other people can certainly do something to a person. i soon found myself watching people. There was a man in his 20’s reading a novel. directly across from him a chinese man in his 40’s or 50’s was reading a book but instead of english it was in chinese. and instead of reading it front to back he was reading it back to front. bored out of my mind i pulled out my cell phone and timed how long it took the english front to back reader to read 2 pages. and how long it took the chinese back to front reader to read 2 pages. even though the amount of variables in my experiment were numerious i clocked then anyways. chinese man took 1 minute and 35 seconds. where as the english man took 30 seconds. meaning the english man was either a faster reader or english is simply faster to read or…..that i should not ride buses for that long.
