MARCH 7

Sugar Land TX

Old women and a giant bag of rice.
I asked these ladies for a photo and offered to help load the huge bag of rice into their car.
But, they didn't speak English and my Chinese wasn't very good.
Instead I frightened them.

Well, it was really nice of you to offer help, even if they refused!

I often hesitate to take photos of strangers for fear that they will misunderstand me. I even struggle with taking photos on the side of the road if I have to walk into someone's driveway a few feet to get the perfect shot. Am I overly self-conscious?

Good girl Lynn, international understanding is sometimes very hard. The ladies are so sweet!
