Q: Ever been for a bike ride dressed in fluffy pajamas?

I'm too mainstream.  Too grey.  I need to do something different.  

So I'm about to head off for a ride around the canal/river dressed in my fluffy pajamas.  Gunna wear blue lip balm too!

Hell.....TIC....Why not!  Nothing else to do..

Have you ever done that?  What?

Well I did it and it went alright.  Some people seemed to be staring but they even do that when I'm getting about in slacks and a Hawaiian shirt.  Or anything else.

Some young people took my photo and I guess they were asking for an explanation of my blue lip balm.  And I took my photo with the sparkling water in the background and sent it to my wife and she said I was xi jinping.  Or shen jin bing...or something like that.  Said I should go to the hospital.

And the migrant workers in the shop downstairs also took my photo and stared a lot when I popped in for some amber comforters when I'd finished.

I was glad for the fluffyness of the pj's as it was pretty chilly.  Can't think of any reason why I won't do it again.

See how the migrant workers react when you run into them, holding a sheet over your heat and shouting something in a strange language, like English  A mate and I wanted to roam the streets on ghost day a few weeks ago, wearing sheets, but we missed the day.

haha nope, I've never done that. I can't, I don't own pjs and I'm not about to head out on a bike in what I sleep in (nothing).

 

Let us know how it goes though.

That's quite normal.  I work near a hospital and often see patients taking a stroll up the road in their pajamas, everything inside swinging free.

No, but I have wanted to for so long. Buy some big, fluffy red jammies and slippers and rock them all over town. Gives people a good reason to stare. My bike is orange/yellow (because who cares, really?) so I may have to stop for pictures.

I've seen people out in their fluffy jammies very frequently. 

In back home country, a bike ride in fluffy jammies would seem perfectly fine, if done Friday night after 8 bottles of red. I have actually once biked from a party, dressed in a dress, to get some emergency supplies (I think it was gin) from a convenience store.

When I was a young bloke I ran along the main street of Dunedin in the nuddy.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
