We used to joke in Singapore that Singaporeans love to queue. Longer the queue the better, because it only means that something great must be happening on the other end. In China, it was the opposite. Unless enforced, queuing is not an automatic public behaviour in China. People do queue in Beijing but not anywhere else in China unfortunately. So when the time came for me to board my train from Shenyang to Benzi, there was of course no queue. You just join this huge crowd at the entrance of the boarding gate from any direction and wait to be pushed to your turn in time. Yes, been there, done that. There was no other choice.
