One Night in Beijing

'Train'ing -> 伤心地铁

Don't ever think of sitting on the Beijing Subway, be thankful you can get unto one. But well, if you are on the platform, chances are, you would be shoved up the train anyway.

The good thing is, nobody ever worries about falling or stumbling on the train. And even strangers communicate well on the train. '下车吗？下车吗？'. A nod will grant you the same spot you are standing on, otherwise be prepared to be shoved to another part of the cabin. If you are lucky, you would somebody to lean on. If not, either leg of yours will have to support your weight and another person's weight. Whatever the case, just go with the flow, you wouldn't miss your stop.

I have seen a half blind busker playing the sax in the cabin.
I have seen a blind man and female helper trying to sell tissues, but got shouted at in the next cabin by angry commuters, calling them to get off the train.
I have seen a man carrying a sling bag full of magazines, pedalling them inside the crowded train.


Sigh, today got back my last roll of scanned film. The neighbourhood photo developing shop sucks. The scan quality is so inconsistent and lousy. I will confirm it by sending my roll somewhere near my workplace to confirm that it isn't my shooting nor my film that is lousy. So so disappointed ... I want a DSLR now!

Temperature today:
-3C to 6C

Lattes taken today: 2 shots
