Travelogue: By Country | By Date | China | July 2001 |
This is the entrance to a swimming pool. When we walked in, the young woman gatekeeper recited the posted prices to us. The total tariff would have been 38 Yuan. I saw her boss signing to her out of the corner of my eye. Then he showed us his version of the price by showing us a 100 Yuan note. Later, when he saw Monica, he raised the price to 150 Yuan. The gatekeeper told us it was because we were English. Mark tried to take his picture, which sent him into a corner to hide for a minute or so. We have met so few asses, I suppose it was time. |
