Things Which Amuse Rather Than Offend Me

I was outside the Home Taste restaurant on the very busy ZhenZhong Lu on Saturday evening, where there are railings between the footpath and the road.  A taxi screamed to a halt - not that close to the curb - the driver jumped out and starting pissing against the offside passenger door of his taxi.  I looked at him, he looked at me and he carried on pissing.  Then jumped back into his taxi and screamed off again leaving a wet patch in the road.  Note to self - be careful if the offside passenger door of a taxi appears damp.

I ate at the fancy Hot Pot restaurant above Seibu in Citic City Plaza on Sunday evening.  As it's fancy I went outside the building for a cigarette to the walkway in front of the building.  The local residents walk their dogs there and this one dog took a dump, which is quite usual, and the guy picked it up in his plastic bag, which is quite usual.  However, he then took a tissue from his pocket and wiped the dog's arse, which is not usual, and deposited both items in the recycling bin.  Note to self - don't try and recycle the contents of those bins.

Walking back home on the walkway between Seibu and Ke Xue Guan Station I passed one of those shops where you sit in a chair and place your feet on a vibrating pad.  It's supposed to relieve your foot-weariness.  However, one woman was sitting, not on the chair, but on the pad.  She was smiling.  Note to self - suggest this to a YCG friend?
