you buy flower!
I've been waiting for spring. I've been waiting for it to not be so damnably cold that I can think about traveling and not wearing sweat pants under my pants.
Tonight was the first time I realized that Spring was here. That's because The Flower Child is returned.
The Child is an annoyingly persistant seller of fake flowers. He lurks outside JJ disco, waiting to sell to couples coming out from the dancefloor at midnight. THis also happens to be halfway in between Ours and Shelley's appartments.
This kid will follow you for blocks, intermittently yelling "you buy flower". He will grab you and hold on. He is impervious to cursing and Chinese imperatives.
He is a member of the Bu Yao. He might be their revered leader.
He even didn't care when I offered him a rock for his flower. That trick usually causes Bu Yao to start cursing stupid foreigners but forget about selling you anything.
But that said, I kinda miss him. And I'll take The Flower Child and any Bu Yao over the Dongying winter any day.
