Street corners and alleys, every corner holds a story.
Today while we visited the weekend “marriage market” (相亲角) in Shanghai, a local auntie came over to chat with a foreign friend, hoping to find a suitable foreign partner for her handsome son. Her requirements? Someone outgoing, with a beautiful smile, a nice nose (apparently a sign of good fortune! 😊), and of course, good English. We were quite surprised. She’s in her early 60s, elegant and well-mannered. Even after we politely declined, she showed no hard feelings, just repeating that she hoped we‘d have a wonderful time in Shanghai.
Then there was the little “police officer” at Shanghai City Hall — a 5-year-old boy whose grandma bought him a perfectly fitted little police uniform. He stood in front of the City Hall for a photo, eyes sparkling with excitement before the hourly fountain & light show. You could tell he was itching to run off and play, but he never forgot his patrol duty. Absolutely adorable.
Hope your travels create your own unique moments, and that you enjoy every single one.
