  Things that you never get used to: 有些事,永远适应不了
  #1.倒垃圾!

  Should be a no-brainer:应该是再简单不过的事
  But there's a huge difference: 但是差异很大
  垃圾分类很烧脑!
  Recycling: 垃圾分类、再循环
  Garbage can/bin 1: 垃圾桶
  Confusing label: 标签有时让人很搞不清
  You need to deconstruct and recycle everything in the appropriate bin: 一件东西要拆解,扔到对应的分类垃圾箱
  Even locals get confused: 连外国本地人都搞不清
  #2.过马路、乘公交
  You need to press a button to cross the road, especially on smaller roads: 过马路,特别是一些小马路,要先按一下按钮,才会跳行人灯
  Getting off buses: 下公车

  怎么和陌生人寒暄?
  先简单打招呼:

  早上说:"Have a good day!"
  中午或下午说:"Enjoy the rest of your day!"
  晚上说:"Have a great evening!" 或者"Enjoy the rest of your evening!"
  这么多,太搞了!那就说这句,一天任何时候都能用!

  没有什么具体意思,"one"也不指代什么特定的东西。但是,是万用百搭的寒暄方式!
