Got Checked out in Bus :)

We all know how boring is bus ride , especially if you take it every other day for the same route. So it was one of those supposedly boring bus rides before exciting day. You know if you want you can amuse yourself byt watching people inside outside the bus. Now think about this how do a bus conductor keeps herself amused (Buses here in Shenzhen has women as bus conductors ). I know how , she observes people too and what better than a foreigners, chinese are boring anyway :) .

She observed me, which is fine by me, I do get these glances everywhere in China with the Question mark at the end. But then she just stopped at staring at some part of my body , and started doing some mental maths and come to conclusion on what that thing can achieve at that size. Probably she had never seen something so big in length and width. Then she murmured something to Driver, she didn't had to do that, I dont get chinese anyway. Driver turned back WHILE DRIVING and looked at me in an obvious manner checking something and then nodded in agreement with her that it is really big.
I couldnt help I checked it myself and then looked at her and gave her a smile - poor thing I killed it she was embarrassed. I laughed it out , but on second thought i should have felt violated , the girls out there will understand this when some one ( we men) stare at them or when someone (We Men) is checking out your assets. Well you can't call my unusually BIG FEET as assets but I felt as if they had seen a Yeti, obviously she would have never looked down there if I looked like a greek god. Well, I let it go as she looked at me in amazement not in disgust, probably she would now believe in Aliens.
But truth is that I am BIG Foot in this part of the world. I like it in US where I can hide behind BIGGER people and also I get shoes ,clothes in my size and to top it all I get to reject shoes and clothes. That's another story how I confuse people in US about where I am from.
