    The people on the other side of him were tourists and took his photo (with permission – well they asked by getting his attention, holding up a camera and raising their eyebrows). I felt for the poor guy, but then again I suppose I’m no better for taking a sneaky shot like the one above!

    We had a rather stilted conversation about being vegetarian and feeding random cats on Beijing streets. He also gave me a gold Buddha card to put in my pocket to keep me safe. I’ve done a bit of googling about that and keep reading that this is usually a scam (in that once the card is given, tourists are often asked for donations). Well, I wasn’t asked for any dosh in return.

    Maybe I am really starting to look the part of a poor, full-time student! Gawd. I’m beginning to wish he’d asked me for some cash!
