Two men one approximately 20m in front of the other, dressing identically, walking backwards, with a morose look upon there faces. There skill at not bumping into anyone (rare in China) and the severity of their faces leads me to believe this was not a one off venture.
Speaking of bumping into people Lucia and i played a game today where we tried to get the subway somewhere, without touching a single human being. It lasted barely a minute, we didn't make it anywhere near the subway. And we were leaping left and right with the agility of elves or monkeys.
Monkeys. I saw about five hundred (not really) monkeys in the zoo the other day. There was a sign that said, "Please don't feed the monkeys, it makes them sick." I can only assume that the Chinese translation went something along the lines of, "Please feed the monkeys, it's funny," judging, that is, by the amount of people feeding them with glee. Or maybe even "Please feed the monkeys, it's funny, especially shoes." Because there were at least three shoes in there (really- and they didn't match), being chewed on by the monkeys.
Monkeys and Pandas. I saw Giant Pandas for the first time in my life. It was vaguely satisfying, but i couldn't escape the uncomfortable thought that this was not a Panda at all. But in fact a fat man in a Panda suit, in a cage, through some kind of perversion.
Got my hair cut the other day for 80p. Can't complain. That was my second ever time in a hairdressers, my friend recommended a place. There are some very very dodgy hairdressers, with suspiciously under used equipment and supeciously over dressed hairdressers - we're not talking evening wear here. Maybe i should say underdressed. I don't know. Very dodgy anyway.
Ran over a cyclist today in a car; he was alright, mostly they are. Nearly got run over by a van too. It had to skid, that was new.
