The Newmans

Yesterday (Sunday) we took a bus ride for about an hour and there was a 40-ish year old man on the bus. Nothing unusual about that, nearly half the people in Shenzhen are male .

A few hours later we got back on the same bus for the return journey and, lo and behold, this same guy was on the same bus, boarding with us at the same stop. Interestingly, our alighting and boarding bus stops were different at our destination, but within walking distance of each other.

This morning, after passing through the metro subway gates, I passed the same man walking in the opposite direction!

Now the controversial ‘cigarette lighter on a stick’ will be in Shenzhen in 3 days time (May 8th). Coincidence? You be the judge.
