Just call me "Bu Yao." That means, "don't want." Turns out a lone laowai walking around the streets of Beijing appears to be an easy mark for the local scammers. My day went like this:
pretty girl - "Hi, where you from?"
me - "bu yao"
pretty girl - "Hi, I'm a teacher..."
me - "bu yao"
some guy - "you need this..."
me - "bu yao"
pretty girl - "Hi, I have art show..."
me - "bu yao"
At least I took pics...
