"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China，queues are normal，too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time，from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations，you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd，such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform，queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds，a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first，but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small，everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．
Back in Britain，the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue，according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time，maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb．．Good things come to those who wait．
