Andy has been keeping something from us all !!! Never said anything about his other business activities, seems he opened a restaurant/bar in Dongguan and kept it quite. Here he is posing outside said venue.
As we walked on from "his" place we were stopped by two ladies who wanted to take our photo, on a camera phone. This was outside a small shop, next thing we know the shop keeper with small baby has joined us, to be photographed as well, bizarre !!. They seemed delighted with the pic, waved goodbye and left us !!! All done with not one word in English, lots of people stopped to watch, and all seemed amused, we were bemused.
I think all the pics so far have shown a clean, reasonably smart place, unfortunately it's not all like that, below is a pic just off the main street I showed yesterday, bit grim. Have to say though all the busy public places are clean and tidy.
On a not so good note, Maggie went out for lunch with her friend, we saw her in Mackies, friend got robbed on the street, broad daylight. Apparently a guy comes by on a scooter and whipped her handbag.
We have been careful last 2 days, no bags, very little cash, just enough for what we want to buy. According to the ex pat web page this is all too common and they give good advice on how to keep safe, we are being very careful, honest.
Don't know what the weekend holds but if we do something special I will write about it, otherwise, it looks uneventful. Hope we can get to work on Monday, if we can't, more ennui, I remembered that from school !!
Back again with thrills galore, tomorrow.
Song for the day : Wishing ( I had a photograph of you), A Flock of Seagulls.
