The Bus Uncle

I remember this thing in the summer of 2006, when I was back in Hong Kong.

The Bus Uncle is a video captured in a bus by a passenger using a camera phone. The video was a hit online.

I can't believe it, this thing got feature on Wikipedia today. I thought it was just a local Hong Kong thing, but it more popular than I thought.

This happen when a young man ask an old person to talk a bit quieter on the phone so the he can take a nap. Then the old man start a long rant about how stress he is.

News reported on this. Studies was done on stress in Hong Kong and youth culture. Many internet and TV parodies was made.
