Meeting the locals

I tend to meet locals either when I'm lost and trying to get directions or when they come up and ask to take a picture with me. This was the latter (and the 1st time that I asked them to use my camera as well).

It's a lot of fun chatting with the ones that are eager to practice English. I normally take advantage of the opportunity to practice a little Mandarin as well.
