Suddenly, Commuter 3's cellphone starts ringing, its overly loud "Mexican Hat Dance" ringtone can be heard through the whole car; Commuter 1 begins mocking her. Commuter 3 looks very embarassed.

silly little girls. youth can be so condeming. but thats the way life is, we ridicule others and yet we do the same thing. 'judge lest ye be judged'. by the way peter i uploaded some photos but me thinks i screwed it up.

Reminds me of the time I was on the tube in London when 2 south african girls were taking the piss out of the Londoners speaking in Afrikaans, Made the blush really nicely when I said "Pasop julle weet nooit wie luister nie" Translated, "Be aware, you never know who is listening"

LMAO! I had a similar experience when some Inuit ladies in Montreal were speaking Inuttitut to each other in public, and were making remarks that, while I could not understand the exact details, it was obvious that they were discussing the possibility of getting to know me. This was 10 years ago when I was single, so I responded "There's only one way to find out", whereupon the ladies became shocked and said, "You understood?" I replied "Of course!" They both turned sooooooo red... They left in a hurry 5 minutes later. Guess I shot myself in the foot, date-wise, but it was so worth it!

btw Peter, cool sequence of surreptitious photos, and I love the narration you provide. This place is so cool...

Great story, nicely captured.

Very cool. Did you do this with the cell phone camera? I'd love to take pictures of people but . . . most don't like you pointing your camera at them.

antimorph: Hahahaha! NICE.
