To fit in in Shanghai it is important that you observe the correct lift etiquette:
- When the doors open, you get it. Don’t worry if the lift is completely packed full and the next one is just a minute away, you just get in.
- Give people a little shove if they don’t move over enough.
- Then, select your floor and then stab the close door button repeatedly until they close. This bit is really important. I’m sure it’s a source of bad chi or something to actually allow lift doors to close by themselves.
