Another odd feature of San Francisco is the angry chatter of Chinese women. The older women have this loud, nasal fast-talk. They aren't concerned with who is listening and say their angry talk loudly in public, in shops, on the buses, or in the park. At least they sound angry to me. I think they are confident that the surrounding anglos can't understand them and sometimes I'm sure they are complaining about us in their shops or taking space on their buses.

We're on the move today and I don't know when I can write again. Maybe on Thursday night.
