white woman on the scooter

saw a white woman on a scooter rushing through the frenetic traffic in Hangzhou.  Some people just simply dare to take more risk, no matter color, gender, or nationality.

apartment hunting day.

crazy day.

i rode on the back of the scooter, no helmet...and stormed through the busy traffic in this city, which I regret doing so...... I suddenly thought about a line "you become who you are with," but I just can't believe how quickly this environment pushes me into something dangerous like this.  i won't do it again.

this is the real estate agent who drove the scooter.  she is also the one who showed me this unit on the 7th floor of an old building...but failed to open the door... and tired to open the door by kicking the door.  I just can't believe what I saw.  I wish I took some video of her driving and kicking.  

I'll keep apartment hunting today, it is such a headache!

re-visited the apartment where I grew up.  I spent almost 15 years there.  Here's my piano, my very first one.  It is a little out of tone now, but still functions fine.
