anyway i just remembered this memory which amuses me but isn't really interesting. i just thought i'll make it a post and i'll keep doing this for any random memory which i retrieve :)
i just realised that my writing must be a pain for Catherine to read :( sorry :( i will stop .... now :)
My family had just finished visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing, but when we were about to leave apparently they sealed the main exit route for the lowering of the flag at sunset. We would have stayed and watched the ceremony, but the sunset was in quite a while (at least an hour). While trying to find another exit, we ended up finding ourselves in a Hutong and we had no idea where we were :\
So naturally I decide to ask someone where the nearest metro station was - our hotel was right next to a metro station. I asked an elderly lady beside me in my appalling mando 'Excuse me, where's the nearest metro station' and then the lady gave me a weird look and said with an accusing tone “你问我，我问谁呢？” which directly translated means "If you're asking me, who do I ask?".
Upon turning to my mum and dad in a bit of a shock, I saw that they were laughing at me ... unknowingly we had found ourselves a spot in the middle of a tourist group! (We were travelling individually).
Haha the story is pretty lame because there isn't much substance in it, but thinking about it makes me grin so I thought that I should share it with you guys :) I was also thinking about compiling a novella about anything I can remember from my primary school life ... but naturally I haven't got anything further than the title page and one sentence. Where does all my time go?!?!
