Mr. Phan Shook My Hand.

There's a neighbour - I think he's Vietnamese, who's built a small Buddhist temple or shrine in his back yard. I often see him tending it, as well as the few beautiful plants and flowers he has in his front garden.

He's always appears to be happy, and always says hello. He must be about 75 years old now, and has a cane and a small goatee - quite dapper.

I bumped into him in the stairwell just now and we shook hands.
That's never happened before.
