While waiting for my US colleague and a client at the mecca of expat life in Shenzhen two foreigners approached me and asked ‘Do you speak English?’ Being the sarcastic guy, and sometimes jerk that I have been known to be, I wanted to reply in Chinese. But my nice side won out and replied yes and inquired on what they needed help with.
They were looking for the bus to the airport. Bus number they had but no clue where to get on. I pointed them in the right direction, even walking a hundred feet or so with them. Mind you my foot is killing my from a murderous weekend mountain trek. After walking back to my perch to wait for my dinner mates I saw th bus approaching and looked back to see if they had made it to the bus station. They hadn’t. They were also crossing the road to the wrong bus stop. Didn’t recall saying anything about crossing the road to the other bus stop. Anyway, ran down to them with my bum foot dragging behind and ensured they got on the bus.
Just hope they had money….
