A typhoon and a bike

There are two ingredients one needs to become indistinguishable from a local:



1. A typhoon

2. A bicycle



















That's really all, because most foreigners in China wouldn't even think about riding a bike in a torrential downpour.. And wearing a bicycle-poncho means only your face is visible- no problem because in a typhoon it's raining so hard no one can see your face anyways!



And while it's hard to believe until you experience it, the bicycle poncho is far dryer than walking with an umbrella. Buying a bike was a good choice. Hope it isn't stolen (and that it doesn't fall apart in less than three months!).

Isn't that a girl's bike?
