A little anecdote from Shanghai life. I was walking in the rain a few nights ago, wearing my favourite purple hat with the peak pulled down to keep the rain from my eyes. A lady approached me and asked for directions. I just told her I didn't know and it was the first time I had been to that area. She was obviously in a hurry and didn't really look at my face. Off she walked til her companion started pointing and shouting. The lost lady ran back over to me, pulled up the peak of my cap and exclaimed "Heavens, you're right. She's a foreigner. I had no idea". It made me walk a few inches taller. Til I tried to book a restaurant and used the wrong tone to say my own name! Ah yin and yang are in force. The balance is always restored!
