- Waiting at a red light, I saw the electric bike next to me had four people. There was a man driving with a young boy between his legs. Sitting behind the man was a woman holding a baby. Was this in fact a family of four? Or did someone belong to another family? It is not uncommon to see three people on a fast-moving motorcycle. In Beixing (my wife's countryside hometown) it was not strange to see five people on a bike - it can be done with three children and two adults.
- A pedestrian tunnel going beneath the railway tracks is a cool shaded area and so many street sellers set up shop there. This morning, I saw that some of the sellers had brought their children along. I saw two infants sitting on a straw mat on the sidewalk.
- The streetside watermelon sellers are back for the summer. These people will live, sleep, and sell watermelons on a streetside. The family that had the Wuxi Bengal Dog (a video, taken two years ago, that has been seen nearly 300,000 times on Youtube) are there, but don't have any dogs.
