Neighbour’s Mutterings

I’ve been travelling for most of the last month and a half (pictures and such will most likely follow), but am now back in my Beijing apartment where my crazy neighbour was shouting even more than usual last night. In addition to the standard ranting and cussing at someone who’s not there, she repeatedly shouted one word for about ten minutes. As far as I could make out, she was yelling “Liangzi! Liangzi! Liangzi!”, fourth tone on the first syllable and third on the second. This would be written as 量子, translating as “quantum”. It is possible that I didn’t hear her clearly through the wall, but it would be so much more interesting to think that I did.
