School children on a field trip to a national museum in China have caused an outrage among the staff due to the amount of trash they left.

The students from an unnamed school in Chaoyang District, Beijing went to the National Zoological Museum of China Thursday, according to Chinese state media. Instead of leaving with memories of the museum, the children also decided to leave traces of themselves: a trail of trash.

The trash they left behind includes empty plastic bottles and wrappers, as seen in photos taken by one of the museum's senior engineers, Zhang Jingshuo. The photos have been uploaded to Chinese social media website Weibo.

Zhang noted that the students disrespected the museum and treated it like a "garbage dump," noting that they "need to be taught to be respectful."

Comments that followed after Zhang posted the photos highlighted the public's disappointment and strong concern over the bad manners of the students. The school, for its part, issued a public apology through its official Weibo account Friday.

The National Zoological Museum is asking for all schools to teach students to observe proper etiquette in public.

Uncivilized Behavior

But such behaviors is not only found among students. Even tourists strolling along the yet-to-be-opened Shanghai Disneyland are exhibiting behavior that will make Mickey Mouse frown regardless of his happy demeanor.

According to Shanghaiist, tourists checking out the new Disneyland have done some damage to the theme park, including stepping on the grass areas and nearby signages, as well as scratching lamp posts to write messages. Some have even turned the grassy areas into toilets for their children.

It is a good thing that Disney still has time to fix damages and clean up the mess before the new theme park opens next month.
