So like in India ...

ZhangJiang High Tech Park is the specially developed industrial estate of Shanghai government - for high tech industries like hardware, software, chip design, pharma etc. Its also the terminal station for Subway line number - 2. This is the outer part of Shanghai - that covers many small villages nearby.

The crowds at ZJ station have two very contrasting constituents - first is the young, mobile and mobile wielding, jeans clad, typically-in-pairs, very confident and hence careless crowd and the other from nearby villages - going to Shanghai main city or railway station, carrying huge plastic bags, normally a family together, very unsure of overall metro station operations. These villagers are either cunningly observing the happenings with further narrowing the eyes or are plain simple bewildered and lost – clutching the bags tightly to get some comfort.

The two crowds pointedly refuse to acknowledge the presence of each other - except when the rural crowd has very young or very old member. Indian youth and rural folks – both have company in this respect in China.
