The Chinese have never been known for their good manners. As China's tourism industry grows and business booms, many companies have conducted "crash courses" in proper etiquette. Notice boards reminding tourists to mind their manners have been placed at various popular destinations around the country. While the English translations are not exact, the messages' philosophical bent, with regard for the environment is plain for all to see. Photos by Marie-Claire Holmes

I think it would be a good thing to have signs like that all over the US, too... only they would be spray painted within a day! LOL.

so if you're a vegetarian you don't have to put the waste in the can, right?

Wow! I wonder if these reminders produce the desired behavior modifications. A conscience has to be somewhat soft toward acceptance. Of course I'm translating to the U.S. culture.
