One of the things that stands out is how people just plain ignore the "Traffic Assistants," who blow their whistles frantically at scofflaw pedestrians and cyclists.
Another sign of how people in Shanghai interact was evident today. On the way to subway, I passed by a man having a raging argument with a cop, yelling, gesturing, everything. Can't imagine that happening in the states - he'd be flat on his back in a minute. Then, on the other side, a guy was having a knock-down drag out fight with a bus driver (who had stopped his bus right in the middle of the street). Lots of shouting, people restraining the guy, everything.
So, not much passivity here... :-)
