Today's Story Beijing is a fickle city. The afternoon was so hot, many people were in T-shirts. And the wind feels like a warm embrace. My friend and I went and did weekly shopping. Because we live in the countryside, we had to wait for the bus for a fairly long time. The sun was so strong that my ears were burning. Due to the wind, it would be very difficult to hold the umbrella still so we just gave it up. But it's a different story on our way back. The sun set, the shadows died, and the air grew colder. We decided to walk back to school. It's 3 stations away. I seemly became a human "dog-attractor" recently. Everytime I said hi to them, they did respond me. Everytime I opened my arms for them, they truly walked right to me. I love that grey poodle we met today at the gate of school. Hope I can meet he or she again. Forgot to mention. The flowers in school grew better than those on our we back. Probably because there's no gardener to water them. It's too dry in Beijing. But in my southern hometown, every plant thrives with or without being taken care of.
