Good Weather Likely

A lovely day has begun in the lovely city of Guangzhou and after yesterday’s torrential rain people are pouring out in the streets again.

Just outside the hotel I saw this guy relaxing with a newspaper and it struck me that he looked exactly like the statue he was sitting on (but of a slightly different colour.)

When I quickly took a photo, he leapt up, thinking I was taking a photo of the statue and didn’t want him in it.

When the misunderstanding was cleared up we had a good old chat about the weather that had just been. 落狗屎呀！ (lok gau si ah! – fall dog shit (raining cats and dogs).

好似 (hou chi – look like, similar to, just like, seem like, seemingly, probable)
聽日好似會落雨呀 (teng yat hou chi wui lok yu ah – tomorrow likely will fall rain ah)

But what do I care? I have my enormous, sturdy cockroach umbrella to defend me.

Cockroach: 曱甴 (gat jaat)
Umbrella: 雨遮 or just 遮 (yu jeh)
