‘Twas sunny and warm that day. We went to meet our friends for lunch in “Europaer”. As usual, I went with a camera and at some point during lunch, the people on the street became more interesting to me than the usual chit-chat-over-lunch (sorry). Since our table is beside the window it was perfect for me to take pictures of these ladies in their catchy spring attire.
A few of them are looking really nice but most just went overboard and are looking funny.
The last time we went to Beijing, I found this pair of nice black skinny jeans which I think is perfect to pair up with some blouses I already own. I bought it but not without haggling first. Salespersons in Beijing’s famous silk market can be crazy sometimes. Imagine, the initial price given to for the jeans was 1000RMB (100EU). The pair of jeans is nice alright but that’s a crazy price! Living in this country for two years and a half taught me about the real prices of things here and for sure that this particular pair of jeans will not cost more than a hundred RMB (10EU). The salesperson and I was haggling hard but I pretended to leave so she agreed to my price. I got the jeans for 80RMB.
Now, for my skinny jeans I want to have shoes that are similar to these.
The black pair will be fit to anything but the turquoise will specially go along with similarly colored blouses and scarfs I own.
It’s time for my bitchy rants again so it’s time to update this blog.
I want to make it clear that I am not only rude to a particular person or people belonging to a particular race, age group, religion, country, etc. I am just plain rude and I don’t choose whom I can be rude to. I am no angel, everybody knows that (or at least those who visited and read this blog) and if by now you are still not able to keep up… then that’s your problem.
Anyway, right now I just want to write about my annoyance at the taxi driver who conned me. Yep, I was conned by a small-eyed, stinky, yellow-teethed, taxi driver. I cannot imagine that this person thinks he needs money (well that’s the reason why he rip me off, right?) more than he needs a shower!!!! Iw!
If you want to read the whole story how I got a fake 50RMB, read it here. Now if you are in China and you clicked that link, you will most likely NOT be able to view it because it is blocked. Yep that blog and the whole website hosting it are blocked. Censored. Why? Go figure. How am I able to access it?, you might ask. Well, I’ve been here too long to learn about using a proxy and a software that allows me to surf blocked sites.
Back to the stinky bugger. Yeah him….the taxi driver in his stinky dilapidated taxi…. I do wish him ILL. I wish that he’ll be conned as well and will lost twice as much as the money he got from me… or… maybe that’s not right because he’ll just con somebody again. Maybe it’s better to wish him something that would really torture him! Yes right… so scratch my first wish and here is my FINAL wish… I wish that a group of horny, wrinkled, fat and unattractive old naked women be in a tub without water with him and he cannot (otherwise his small junior will be cut off) leave the tub without getting cleaned. How is he going to be cleaned if there’s no water in the tub? Well, that’s the point, he can’t be cleaned therefore he’ll stay there forever OR he can choose to live without his teeny-weeny junior (Oh heck, it’s probably not big enough to be beneficial anyway!).
We are back from our 3 weeks holiday in the tropics. The temperature here in China is still pretty much the same and the amount of spitting have not lessened a bit. We still can enjoy the cold temperature until around April and the spitting? Well luckily, that we can enjoy until we leave this country.
You know, lately, I have been thinking of joining them in spitting in every corner everywhere. Why? Because they do it like no other people can. And oh by the way, they can do it really well. I don’t think I can ever come close. It’s an art how they do it. You know, it takes a lot of physical training to learn how to be able to dig deep from your trachea and how to make that sound which is so fabulous. Ohhh, it’s music to my ears. And when they do it all together… it’s like a symphony that no classical or pop music can equal. Plus they do it everywhere—in buses, planes, restaurants, offices, etc. so where ever you go, you can be sure to witness this amazing talent of theirs. I just love it. And if you think that only men can do it, you are wrong. The women here can spit twice as much and twice as far as the men. They will certainly surprise you.
