I was on a train in the middle-of-nowhere China one time. Mid-nineties. There were a few other long noses in a group towards the front of the car, me and a bunch of Chinamen and Chinawomen.
They, the other laowai, looked European. You can spot those twerps from a mile away.
All of a sudden a powerful voice broke out in song. Some sort of foreign language operatic crap. The voice was impressive up close like that but the overall situation was surreal. I'll never forget it.

Man, I am SO happy to live a football field away from my nearest neighbor.
