Any Other Business?

Dear All,


From 08:00 to 8:03 I take back the streets by standing outside of the not so “Great Wall” of my guest house” to wait for the 8:04 shuttle into town. I enjoy watching the world and the world seems to get a kick out of me.


Today though I had a bit of a startle; a weathered, swollen man hand darted out from behind a baby blue burka and motioned for change, I meekly professed that I had none.


Frights come and go here and I quickly went back to monitoring our intersection, perhaps not venturing as far as I had done previously.


My apprehension was quickly substantiated when out of the corner of my eye the threat re-appeared. This time I wouldn’t be so brave...


Cheers,

Mw
