It sounds like a fascinating experience and I suppose they realize, better than we do, that life can be short and that one is better off smiling.<br /><br />♥♥Ever-Green Veronica♥♥ MOSTLY OFF <br />The friendly City ???????? well here it is... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Elizabeth<br />maybe because I lived there for many years !!!!!!!!!!

Your words regarding their viewpoint of a crosslegged man eating a drumstick made me think of this quote from the Dalai Lama. I think it was you that praticed the teaching to perfection.<br />All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives. <br />Dalai Lama<br /><br />★娜 娜☂Nana_Slowly catching up added this photo to her favorites. <br />Wow ...

Maybe it is the first time they saw a Chinese gentleman sitting cross-leg on a broken bench in the city of Beirut munching at a drumstick. Whatever they were joking with me in a language I could not understand a single word of. They were having a lot of fun and I could not help laughing at them too. But when I tried to take their pictures, they will go to length to avoid and frustrate me. But they did not know I’m a fast shooter and I still got them in the end and it is a picture I really like for it managed to capture the essence of the moment. I did know my attraction that day but many drivers waved and warmly greeted me. It was kind of puzzling, but nice kind of puzzling.<br /><br />The one big difference is that none of those well dressed men and women in fancy cars like big Mercedes and such greeted me. Even when they noticed me, I was not interesting to them. Kind of amusing, isn’t it how difference the reactions of “classes” are.Thou Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475763785246900213noreply@blogger.com
