Chances are you've heard of/seen this video before.



Basically, it's a 6 minute video taken with a cell phone on a bus in Hong Kong. A Chinese man in his forties (Bus Uncle) responds furiously when a young man sitting behind him taps his shoulder to ask him to lower his voice while talking on the phone.

The clip is coloured marvelously with Cantonese curses and swear words of all sorts, and various catch phrases which became instant hits in Hong Kong.

I have to say that this doesn't surprise me at all. There are plenty of crazed old men and women in Hong Kong who blow up at tiny things. Uncle Bus is nothing new.

It's pretty funny in Cantonese, but I'm not sure how funny it is with English subtitles. Check it out anyway. =)
