As Awkward as it Gets

I don't know how......but for some reason I just ATTRACT trouble. Last weekend I was on the bus with a bunch of foreigners headed out to one of our weekly hiking destinations. I saw a whole troop of military men in full army garb, rifles, and completely soaked from head to toe because of the rain. Apparently these guys were not in a good mood. I decided to snap a few photos of them as the bus passed (Yes, I know, Idiot).....One of the military men spots me and starts shouting like a madman. Foreigner took a picture, foreigner took a picture!!! - Four guys blocked our bus from the front, one guy ran ahead to tell the commanding officer, and the last guy came onboard and started shouting at me in Chinese. Luckily, one of the girls on the bus flirted with him and got him to calm down.

Do you see the kind of trouble I go through to take photos for this blog?!?!?

I'd like to add some comment here as i was there witness the whole story.. actually there was no girl flirting with the army man. She was only explaining why Ed took the photos and confirming to them that Ed is not a spy.

I understand why they don't like be photoed without approval...

As you see now, something is coming up here on your blog..with your personal judgement, which is more for fun than for telling the reality...
