I decided to buy a desk chair for our furnished apartment but didn’t like the affordable ones that came in a box from Ikea. So we went to a Furniture Bazaar near the Eden shopping center. They had both low-priced antiques and used furniture including a dozen chairs of the style that I wanted. But they don’t deliver small items. Since it was raining I decided to come back another day.
So I picked a sunny day and after the morning busy time on the trams to go back. Sure enough the tram I caught near the Bazaar was mostly empty, but did fill up by the time I got to the Nameste Miru transfer point. There I had to wait awhile for the next tram, which of course, made it quite full. But I barged on with the chair anyway and tried to give everyone an apologetic look. People looked at me but I did not see any sour looks until the next stop when I ran the chair into the legs of one passenger in order to allow another passenger off.
Karin had arranged to meet me at our stop for a photo opportunity, but the other people getting on and off spoiled the shot. So I just became a crazy old man with his rolling chair.
