2+half 老外 Lǎowài

The effect of being a foreigner is noted, especially when you want to document everything, i thought a small camera would not be intrusive but apparently, i have better results with the bulky DSLR and the 200 lens (maintaining a little distance). So far trying to shoot in a busy environment will attract laughter and a conversation in Mandarin with a few laowai words inside. I hope i manage to learn some Chinese over the year so i can break the ice more easy, not that there is much ice in the first place. photo from a tricycle cab ride squeezed on the back with my housemates (Clara & Jeff), note the umbrella in front.
