Thank you anonymous visor lady!

This is the lady that we followed to the best Dim Sum in Chicago! Jenny, Cassi and I got off the L at Chinatown, figuring that we’d walk around randomly until we saw a busy looking Dim Sum restaurant. She got off the L too, and happened to go the same way as us. A few blocks later, she asked an old man something in Cantonese. None of us speak Cantonese, but we did pick up one thing: Yam Cha! The old man started pointing in the opposite direction down the street, and was apparently giving directions. We quickly huddled and figured that if anybody knew where the best Dim Sum would be, it would be an old man on the street, and decided to follow the lady.

We tried to keep our distance, but still keep her in view. After a few blocks she made a turn and walked for a while, then stopped and asked somebody for directions again. Apparently she went the wrong way, because they pointed her backwards right towards us! As she turned, you can imagine the slapstick routine we put on, walking in circles while whistling and trying to act like nothing is going on while we waited for her to pass and start stalking again. This time she knew where she was going and led us straight to Phoenix. I don’t think she ever picked up on the fact that we were following her, even when Jenny went outside to steal this picture of her (I didn’t have the guts to do that).
