It is my weekend but I won't be posting much to the blog. I have a bad cold at the moment; I have some overtime classes to teach both evenings; and so I am using all my available free time to rest. I don't know how to do an extended agghhh!! and whine in prose. And I don't want to.
Mission Accomplished?
Taking the bus, I saw a man, with some sort of chest or throat problem, open the window and stick his head there out. He did this right in front of me, so I couldn't help but see him. I thought he was going to vomit but he didn't, instead he looked like he was trying to spit or retch -- making the whole opening the window bit seem inexplicable. In my mind's eye, I also imagined him being decapitated by a truck coming close to the bus. After two minutes, he put his head back in and patted his chest for the benefit of an acquaintance who had a bandaged eye. The bus was full of invalids!! I suppose the man and his friend were going to the hospital, or coming back from it.
Hey Andis,
ReplyDeleteI loved checking out your blog, and especially your story about the steaming vomit. My family and I all moved to Xian in 2008 and I'm now a teacher as well. Well keep on bloggin! If you have a minute check out my blog, http://petersonchina.blogspot.com.
I will do that.
