I can understand why they feel so protective of their family. They get verbally abused by the shop assistants most of the time. It is a pity that many owners of supermarkets do not train their assistants to speak nicely to their customers.<br />And it is a pity that the abused customer come back againa nd again to give them their money!<br />Are they "being served" while waiting? Such a sad situation in a country which prides itself in diversity of culture.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-90056182747441196252011-01-19T05:58:10.189+08:002011-01-19T05:58:10.189+08:00Dear uncle Lee

Waiting for my wife.<br />I never knew I will be waiting for a woman till I got married.<br /><br />When she goes shopping. She doesn't drive, so I drive her, follow her on mall walkabouts. When she screeches to a halt outside a shoe store or handbags. I quick look for a coffee shop or bench...<br />And enjoy watching the SYTs go by. What else to do?<br /><br />My record for waiting was for her niece and SIl on a visit here.<br />3 hours! Me sitting at a bench till the security guard asked me whether I was okay?<br />Told him about women's shopping habits, pointing to my SIl and daughter in the store, La Vie En Rose. He laughed, I went back to my half asleep waiting. 3 hours!<br />Lee.

That's the nice bit about visiting Bekenu. I think he must be very lonely.<br /><br />Or shy about his face. Some older folks even ask me to send their photos to them!!Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-91821348198836321132011-01-18T07:54:34.419+08:002011-01-18T07:54:34.419+08:00You were very brave to take his photo without perm...You were very brave to take his photo without permission.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.com
