A STORE GIRL WITH GRACIE

We were in a store browsing and one of the girls who worked there unbuckled Gracie from her stroller and took her out. The Chinese are very forward and think nothing of doing things like this. Gracie wasn't too sure about it at the begining, then in this shot she was definitely starting to feel uneasy and then seconds later I had to rescue her because I could tell she was starting to get panicked. When I took her I could feel her little heart racing--poor thing. Then, when we were walking down the street another lady stopped us and yanked her sunhat off and said "too hot!" and pointed at her sweaty head. Then she pushed her to a sitting position and we got the impression she was saying she needed more air in the back. We just nodded and said okay and went on our way. This would never happen in the US! We get starred and pointed at all the time and even have people taking our pictures. They are smiling, laughing and often say "Nice to meet you!" because apparently they think that is a greeting. Pretty funny.
