Dave and I went to dinner tonight, which meant I was home later and drunker than intended. He told me he was gay, which was no real surprise and helped bring ease to the friendship. It was a great comfort too after having my arse grabbed by a random bike riding 40 plus Chinese man. He didn' just come up and do, he semi stalked me with conversation first, for a block. I answered his questions as politely as I could, happy for the practice, and lying all the way, making up a husband and child to build walls around me, didn't  calm his desire to dance though, which is when I told him there was no need to accompany me to my destination - which was an awesome Gaudi (Barcelona) inspired type design. Truly a masterpiece of mosaic work - China Porcelain house is what I think it is called and totally worth the minor harassed walk to and the mega lost on the way and walked and extra 8 blocks plus, way home!

Any 40 year plus lady looking for a Chinese boyfriend? He is waiting for you in Tianjin - nice and friendly enough.
