boy sitting in kitchen

It was my first time in China and my first stop was Shanghai. Blinded by the lights and overwhelmed by the hub bub, visiting one of the water towns just outside the main city was refreshing and wonderful. Whilst purchasing some lotus flower covered in honey, I noticed the lady I was chatting to had a son hiding in the back. He looked at me as I looked him; inquisitive and playfully. His Mum told him to say hello to me, which he didn’t, but he did smile after shooting me this look of pure curiosity.
