mrs money // neighbour par excellence

she calls me whenever she needs a translator for her letters.
i slept in her guestroom when i forgot my keys.
most of the days she has pain in her knee.
but she would never complain.
mrs money is happy about every day to enjoy her life.

richard // the bicycle-taxi-man

i saw him while i was walking through town.
i´ve seen him many times before.
richard is a bicycle-taxi-driver.
my question was: is this really the job he makes a living from?
i just asked him.
that was in 2006.
now it´s 2009 and finally we really get to talk.
