I see events often as well, but in China its more like I saw these events in public squares, constantly. People dancing, or exercising, or playing badminton in pretty large groups. Its not there's a few events a week, like in the US. Its there are multiple events a day.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoYeah it seems more part of the daily routine in China... the elderly wake up, and congregate in the local park for dancing or exercise. In the US it's kind of "event" based. Like you have a farmer's market once a week for a few months... or a local yoga teacher offers weekly classes in the park to drum up business for their studio. I've never seen seniors congregating in public spaces in the US like I have in various cities throughout China. The closest I've seen may be "mall walkers" who will show up when malls first open and wander around together... but it pales in comparison. It makes me wonder if we've ruined ourselves with our idea of individualism or something.
- duxup 5y agoYeah in the US it's not big event at scale daily. More lots of little events scattered all over the place. Events daily but they might be different. If you don't 'go' to the park too it's not always obvious, but they're there.
- wolverine876 5y agoMaybe it's the result of more population density and less personal space?
