Bingde Bingo. The thief returns to the scene of sight.

The Kedi's (Wuxi's version of 7-11) are notorious for never having cold drinks in their fridges.  It seems that they like to turn off the fridges as a cost saving measure.  It may also be that they don't know how to rotate.  So when I go to buy myself a beverage at Kedi, it is now like a game for me.  Meiyou Bingde, Meiyou Bingde, Meiyou Bingde, Bingo! Bingde. (Bingde means cold in Chinese).

Te hhhhh key on my tree year old laptop is becoming sticky.

The thief caught at School last week was apparently making the rounds of all the private language schools in Wuxi.  Pretending to be a prospective student, the thief would be lead around schools and so steal things.

I now know, for definite, what the thief looks like. The police just brought him back, in handcuffs, to the school.  For five minutes, the thief stood in the lobby of our school with everybody gawking at him as the police were taking pictures of him just inside and outside the entrance.  He was then taken upstairs to the office where he was alleged to have stolen a laptop.  More photos were taken beside the desk where the laptop had been.

The thief was thin, mid twentyish,had a tattoo at the front below his right shoulder.  He looked stunned.  It was hard to detect any definite emotion on his face.

It is a sight I have never seen before.
