From my experiences... crowded tourist areas, the local "farmers" or "no-ming" (not sure of the correct spelling) in their cheap suits, the seriously crowded trains on Chinese New Year, the popularity of, what we call in UK, "puffer jackets", strong family bonds, crazy hospitals(!), corruption, exotic foods, their constant drive to earn money, the Chinese "face", i.e. how Chinese people are perceived by others and the constant need never to show weakness in front of others, the pressure from parents to their offspring to marry after the university period, the one child policy (obvious one)... and as mentioned above, hawking or as we say, "hocking" in to public bins - this always makes me laugh. OH... and the classic of being able to spit out fish bones right on to the restaurant floor. Great stuff :)
That's just a few off the top of my head... might have deviated there a bit ;)
