the owner was a fellow foreigner but we only exchanged knowing glances after my "is this yours??" gesture from a few meters away.

the goofiness may be in part due to the wide angle lens on the camera I was using. it wasn't quite as goofy in person, but it is a couple sizes small to be sure. color aside (the maroon is pretty nice) I wasn't really a fan of the tt pad either. but damn, beautiful old frame.
