After lunch I took a local mini bus to another town , Jiangmen. Travelling time is about 1 hour through local roads.
The bus driver seemed slightly annoyed when I was a bit slow in paying the fare because I was not familiar with the Chinese notes. One more thing, he honked at every damn thing in front all the way. Maybe that is his destress strategy. hahaha!!!!
At one of the stops, an old lady with a small child got onto the bus but all the seats were occupied. I feel awkward so I stood up and offered my seat .The makcik was a bit surprised at my gesture and thanked me numerous times, even just before she got down she said TQ again. Maybe around there offering seat to others is not the norm anymore.
One good deed leads to another. At another stop another mother and child got up and this young chap in front of me immediately got up and offer them his seat. Hahaha I felt like a boy scout and became a role model of the day.
I even noticed the change in attitude of the driver towards me because he voluntarily notified me where to get down in Jiangmen. See, it always untung to do good thing.
Jiangmen is a bigger metropolitan town. We went shopping along the streetmall ( pu sing chea )
The town is at the edge of a river. There is this long and tall pedestrian crossing that facilitates people getting across the town. But omg ....... bicycles, even motorcycles are being pushed or riden up and across. China Boleh!!!!
I was told mainland Chinese are a bit sensitive to being photographed. The street hawker with a red cap scolded me, through his mic somemore, when he sensed he has been captured in candid camera. I quickly said ' tui pu chee' and cabut !!!!!!!!!!
