Get a portrait made of yourself by vickss
Its not the favourite thing but hey I was a crowd puller for once!!You may not be the most good looking person in the world but if you like to have a portrait made for yourself you can try it in China. Its not as great as Paris but its not too bad either. I was walking past this underpass next to the Tiananmen Square and spotted 4-5 sketch artists who looked to be in need of some cash. So I just sat down with one fo them who drew a bad picture of me....actually it wasn't resembling me much.. if the Chinese police(or is it junta....) came looking after me they wouldn't have got me with that picture I GUESS...but what the heck it was fun.. While I was sitting on this small stool and all the Chinese people walking past were like.OH A FOREIGNER GETTING IT DONE.....HMMM.... and they were similing...probably never having seen an Indian before. The guy charged me about 50 yuan..which was about 50-70% more than what it shoud have been with a lil bargaining. Hey I was a crowd puller for once!!!
