Strictly Park dancing
[January 23, 2007]
Old chinese people dancing in a park is a lovely sight for a Saturday afternoon.
My Mum would like this idea, couples gliding across the floor in the open air, enjoying the weather and getting a little exercise. Someone had set up a ghetto blaster just out of shot, and these couples were mashing up the dance floor, foxtrot style.
This was in Fuxing (Foo-Shing) Park, which seems to be THE place for the over 40’s gentleman. Especially the guys who were taking up most of the benches and covered areas of the park playing card or board games. The players were laughing and shouting at each other, smoking the last 8 millimetres of a cigarette.
Some people were reading the newspaper set out in a glass case and I was as surprised to see coverage of the whole Celebrity Big Brother racism thing in there as I was on CNN the previous day. I try to be interested in trivial things, but the stakes keep on being raised.
All this over an Oxo cube eh?
