Escalator Culture!

Did you know about the Escalator Culture? I bet that most of the Malaysians do not know about this culture -- including me, until my dad told me about this after he went to Korea!  Why I say so? Every time when I go to shopping mall, in uni, or the commuter station, I can observe there are lotss of people did not follow this culture, I am not sure that those people are similar to me #neverknowthereissomethingcalledescalatorculture OR they knew it but just ignore it?!

Okay, back to the topic! What is Escalator Culture? It's a simple concept and I think that this can be done by everyone easily! Whenever you ride an escalator, stay on the right hand-side and leave the left lane for people to go over you especially for those who are in hurry or you're a Type A person #lol. This culture was adopted by most of the country, including Korea, Taiwan, and Japan since long time ago. Also, this is crucial in most of the railway station, because maybe there are some people are rushing to catch up the train, so I think that this culture should also be applied in Malaysia too!

I am sure that there are some people who had already applied this culture in their daily life, for those who have not, this is just a simple one and I think that everyone can apply this into their daily life in order to make your and others people' life easier. Don't give reason like you need to hold your boyfriend or girlfriend hand along the way, #cannotbeseperated. Come on, it is just few minutes journey, won't die if not holding your bf/gf hands. Lol Otherwise, you can hold your hubby hand even though you are standing front and back right? #Nothingcanstopyouifyoureallywanttodoit I can understand if there are parents who needs to hold their children when riding escalator for safety reason. Maybe they can go onto the escalator together with their children first, then only move to one side, before going down from the escalator, they go back to their children side again to ensure their safety.

This is how the Malaysians stand when they're on the escalator. 

You can see this notice in many places, the below one is in Taiwan railway station.

"Please Stand on the Right Hand Side"

The exact way how it should look like. 

 NOT like this! lol

This is the one in Tokyo, Japan. (They used to stand on the left hand side)

In one of the Japan Shopping Mall. 

So, let's practice this from now on whenever you're on the escalator, staircase or even in the elevator (Move to back of elevator if there are people coming in, and don't squeeze in if the lift was full, wait for another one or take the staircase. Always make way or let people who need the elevator more to go in first). 

Actually there are many more moral values which I think that Malaysian should learn including me, not only this, start from this simple one today!
