Once upon a time, three adventurous and unsuspecting friends named Lhooh, and ChehCheh and Niao-Miao (the names have been changed to protect their identities) went to Beijing to see the great and famous sights of the fabled city.
On the trip, they encountered many truly wondrous things - and things to ponder about!
Such as.... figuring out the apparently complicated transportation process of the famed city.
A case in point: Lhooh asks passing citizen about what bus to get on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lhooh: Excuse me sir, but could you tell me which bus goes to Tiananmen?
Passerby: Which way do you want to go? East or West?
Lhooh: Hmmm...I guess...Tiananmen East.
Passerby (pointing to a bus parked on the street): Then you take this bus.
Lhooh: Thank you very much, Sir! Hmmm....and what bus should I take if I want to go to Tiananmen West instead?
Passerby (walking away): Oh, you take same bus.
* lightbulb* well, it does make sense....ehem...

While some undoubtedly happened (you can guess which ones did), the tale is not meant to imply anything derogatory about the Chinese culture or people.
