My love in Qingdao...

Not sure HOW I forgot about this from my first vacation.
This is a small compilation of my photos and a friends photos
of a short lived love in Qingdao.
Long story short for now, during supper on the strip of Qingdao,
there were lots of women selling flowers all over.
They only came up to Ben (pictured twice, poor guy)
and kept trying to get him to buy flowers...for me.
It actually got a little annoying.
We really had to ignore them to make them go away.
But even when they left our table, they still tried to get
another guy to buy a rose for me...
Probably knowing that he wouldn't get the women to leave
unless he bought a flower, the guy in the photo with me
bought me a rose. He also told me I was beautiful...twice.
It was true love and I held onto my flower for the whole night...
until all of the petals fell off and my love rose died.
