国庆
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
60 is an important Chinese number. 60 seconds in a minute. 60 minutes in an hour. Old clocks were base 12. 12 zodiac signs. The 5th time you have your zodiac “year” you are 60. Few people on the bus today. Everyone left at 3pm. Rural people on the subway. Shanghai girl is frustrated with them and leaves her seat. More of them sit down. They win. Nanjing Dong Lu is closed. Man with a bucket of hairy crabs. His wife and child meet him outside of the subway to carry his gifts. People are happy. 8 days of vacation does that. With less people you can see more. Rain has stopped. Happy 60th Birthday China.
