No, we were not entertained, we ended up providing the cheap entertainment for the boys pictured above. As Ricky and I were filling another boring Friday night by riding the new B1 Bus to the DVD store and walking to the Love District Boa Zi Stand, I observed a mother eagerly calling down an alleyway for her son. Even with my VERY limited Chinese I still recognized her using the term “LoaWai” meaning foreigner in her speech. Her boy and his friend quickly obeyed and ran out so they could be entertained by the strange behaviors of the LoaWai. They followed us around as we asked for, paid for and ate our boa zi.
Surprisingly, tonight the boa zi were half price 2 for 1 Yuan. I am not sure why they were cheaper but they tasted just as good as last time. Ricky bought 8 this time and I got my 'guarenteed to stuff me' two. The boys were cute and actually said an English “bye” to us as we left. As for being the entertainment, I am learning to accept it as a fact of life. I just wish I could speak enough Chinese to actually interact with them so we both could learn more about each other.
