“It’s kind of funny,” I pointed out to Feng. “I can see people looking at me, looking at you, then looking at Mark, as if they were realizing that is the end result of a Chinese-and-French-having-sex experiment.”

Chinese people stare. They love staring. They can’t help it. And it’s not a discreet glance but a long head-to-toes stare.

I’m okay with that because I stare back… and take pictures.

These are the people of Beijing!

    Very cool photo of the two men and the lady in the hat sitting in the middle! I had to giggle at them staring – at least you give as good as you get!

    J’aime bien le p’tit couple qui pose, au musée! 😀 A moins qu’ils étaient avec vous et que tu aies mal cadré ta photo Zhu? 😀
