I'll take the one at the back, please.

I was once surrounded by a dozen water vendors. The ones that pressed in close were animated and loud, waving the bottles in our faces. The ones at the back were quiet. I chose a vender at the back. Succumbing to the pushy tactics breeds more pushiness. It's like rewarding a puppy when they...

Doggie condo

Today I happened upon a doggie retreat on the streets of Beijing. There was a small 3' wide x 1.5' high cupboard raised up on bricks on the sidewalk. One door was ajar revealing dirty cushions. On top was a generous section of corragated fiberglass over hanging the open space to the left of...
