in the states, that would be some sort of illegal I'm sure.
While I was walking home from the bar last night (er, this morning), two guys sped by me on a bike. This would not have been out of the ordinary except for the fact that as they passed me, they managed to grab both my ass and my left breast.
Sadly, even if I had been wearing my glasses when it happened, the odds of my being able to pick these guys out of a line up is slim to none. There are many possible reasons for this, and all of them are probably true.
While I would like to have chased them down and kicked their asses off the back of that bike, I must admit I'm impressed with the speed, agility, and aim necessary to pull off this feat.
And though I currently insist on being amused by this event, it contributes to my overall feeling of being violated by this city, however unusual an occurrence in Beijing it may be. It even has me leaving dangling participles in blog posts which I mercifully caught and edited just now. whew.
Never having been there, I can only surmise that they must have an extracurricular course in "How to Cop a Feel - Vespa Edition." Or maybe not, but then again peut être. c'est possible.
