When I got up a few weeks ago I did my normal morning routine: going down to the kitchen, put the kettle on and starting the washing up. The washing up sink is located right under a window which makes the actual process a lot more fun because there is always something to look at and going on in our lane or in Gao An Lu.
That morning I noticed that some of the electric cables, laying on the other side of the window were moving.
Like little black snakes they were sneaking from the left to the right side of the window. As my glace followed their path I found myself all of a sudden staring into someones face - some guy who obviously had to fix something in the mess of wires which connect us with the rest of the electronic world.
To be honest I was a little shocked, because it is the last thing you expect that someone is watching your on the upper floor and I´m that sort of person who definately doesn´t want (and probably should not) to be seen straight after getting up. Although I should have learnt already from a few days before when I walked from the shower straight into the kitchen just to find out that someone was walking along the roof of the cafe below our kitchen to fix the aircondition and that granted him free sight into our apartment.
I think this falls in the category " Expect the unexpected" and it is as it is and there is no way around that: After all we are in China and someone is ALWAYS watching you..
PS: I wish we would have such great bamboo ladder when I locked myself out the other day! :-)
PSS: Just realizing the windows need a clean...
PSSS: couple of days later ..reporting, windows are clean now :-)
