A Different Lifestyle

When, I went on vacation to Hong Kong and Taiwan to visit my parent's family it was really weird. They all drove on the opposite side of the rode, and most of the people just rode mopeds or motorcycles instead of cars because their are so many of them. The people crossing the roads don't really look at where the cars are coming from or going to they just walk across the road even though cars are still coming and going down that street. Also, many people in Hong Kong and Taiwan stay up past midnight; they go out to things called night markets where people are shopping and eating and just hanging out around 2 or 3 in the morning. No one really sleeps where they are; however, in America most people are asleep by like midnight and no one just hangs out in the streets and goes shopping because nothing is even open at that time.
Also, living conditions are also different, most people in America live on houses, but people in Taiwan and Hong Kong mostly live in apartments with their families. Living in houses in their countries is like being wealthier there, but we see that differently. The common person in America mostly live in houses not apartments with a bunch of their family.
