Neglected stories

While walking in Bejing China I found myself behind an conservative looking older woman, maybe in her early 60's. She was walking at a good pace, and really there was nothing out of the ordinary, so I thought nothing of it. After a couple of minutes we neared a subway station and were forced to the right on a narrow area of sidewalk due to a stairway to an underground street crossing. This area was wide enough for two to pass each other going opposite directions, but not with much room to spare. As we entered this area the older woman was walking a short distance ahead of me and this is when I noticed three very attractive young women coming in the opposite direction. The women were in there early twenties and walking in a single file line becasue the sidewalk was so narrow. The two girls infront were giggling/talking and the third girl in the rear was looking out towards the road. Then, just as all three girls and the older woman were about to pass each other I watched somthing very strange happen out of the corner of my eye. The older woman, swivled her hips and very adeptly sucker punched the last young woman. The punch was impressive and the young girl, eyes bulging, hunched over and put one hand on the ground to stop from falling flat on her face. The older woman, didn't miss a beat. If I hadn't seen her throw the punch the situation would have been completely unreadable to me. Immediatly the other two girls turned around to help their friend who was now gasping for air. Words were exchanged and one of the young girls, realizing what had happend yelled, somthing at the old lady who turned her head slightly to the left and made a "tsk" sound without slowing down. I followed the older woman all the way to the subway station and at no time did she look agitated, unhappy, or angry. I have no idea what was going on in this situation, but it was a fascinating thing to see.

I want to upload pictures, but its impossible in Karimabad, so maybe in Gilgit.
