人在旅行的時候就變了，變得渺小，沒有社會地位，你可以做任何你想做的事情，反正沒有人認識我。People change when they travel, they think they become smaller, take off all social status, being able to do whatever you want, no one knows anyway.

有一次我在北京轉機，等待安檢的過程十分冗長，同在隊伍的一男一女用英文吵了起來。Once I had to transit in Beijing, the process of waiting for the security check was very long, and a man and a woman in the same team quarreled in English.
.
女：「請你不要插隊好嗎？我本來是在你前面的」。F: "Please don't jump in the queue. I was in front of you."
.
男：「我本來在這裡的，我只是離開一下而已，我跟這位先生是一起的（指著某個路人）」。M: "I was here, I just left a second, I am with this gentleman (pointing to a passerby)".
.
女：「排隊就是排隊，你離開了就應該重排，況且根本沒人看見你本來在這」。F: "The queue is the queue. If you leave, you should go to the tail. No one saw you were here."
.
男：「反正我就是要站這，又沒規定怎麼排」。M: "Anyway, there are no rules on the queue."
.
女：「先生請問你來自哪一個國家？」F: "Which country do you come from?"
.
男：「巴基斯坦，怎麼樣？」M: "How about Pakistan?"
.
女：「好的，我會記得巴基斯坦人的行徑。」F: "Okay, I will remember how Pakistanis act."
.
男士突然慌張起來，急忙說到：「我住在日本幾十年了，我雖然是出生巴基斯坦，但我是日本人。況且大家都看到我本來站在這裡，（拉著路人）你說我剛是不是站在這呢？（用日語對著一群日本女生）你們說我剛剛是不是站在這？」...... The man suddenly panicked and hurriedly said: "I have lived in Japan for decades. Although I was born in Pakistan, I am Japanese. Moreover, everyone saw I was standing here, (asking the passerby), Did I just stand here? (Spoke in Japanese to a group of Japanese girls) You said did I just stood here?"...

我一旁聽著（安檢的隊伍絲毫沒有前進），只覺得日本人就不會插隊嗎？為什麼他開始變得緊張，為自己辯解起來了？一開始蠻橫的口氣一百八十度轉變，因為他發現自己的行徑，影響到自己國家的名譽了嗎？難道一開始是不在乎嗎 I listened to it (the line to security check did not move on), just thought that the Japanese would not jump in the queue? Why did he start to get nervous and defend himself? At the beginning, the arrogant tone changed 180 degrees, because he found his own actions, affecting the reputation of his country?
