A Man at the Window

I am sitting by the floor to ceiling window in our living room, reading a book.

I catch a movement in my peripheral vision.

I look up and I see legs dangling outside my window.

I think Huh?!

I grab the camera.



Then the rest of the person's body starts to come into view.

I am not sure if I should worry.



The unexpected window visitor turned out to be a very friendly young man.

He waves at me and then knocks on the window.

I open it.

He talks to me in Chinese. I respond with a lot of English and a little Chinese.

He smiles.

He patiently tries to explain something to me again.

I don't understand.



He quiets down.

I wave bye bye.

He gives up. He waves back and continues lowering himself down the outside of our apartment building.

mypenmypaper's Gravatar perhaps what he was saying was...kinda asking if he could
come in, so he could use the stairs/elevator down instead
of the rope......but anyway, u didnt know what kinda
person he was, so let him use the rope instead.

Yemi's Gravatar Hi guys,

He was definitely not a window washer. They don't have window washers here. They have a neat little techniques for individual households washing windows. I think he was a painter. What he was painting, I don't know. And he must have been finished because he went down fast after our (mis)communication.

And no, I never figured out what the encounter was all about. I just have to accept somethings just remain a mystery.
