It happened In a restaurant in China. We went there to have our lunch. We all were hungry and anxious (about the menu). Our guide ordered for us. I guessed that we were going to have chicken- burger. But, I wanted a fish- burger for me. Anyway we were sited and talking with our mates. Suddenly one of my colleagues ( who was a lady) went to her next table. There first she smiled to a baby boy then took a picture of him! And, can you imagine what happened next? The father of the baby scolded and shouted in his language. The lady became embarrassed and speechless. We also became embarrassed but didn't know how to manage the situation because of language barrier. Moreover, our guide and translator were in another floor. Hum, there was a tension in the air. Of course, the lady expressed her apology. And, we learned a lesson. I am writing this blog because I know, how conscious parents are! And they have to be, of course. So, friends, please be careful before the action, It's better just to smile a bit (just crack your lips not much more)!

Great!
It seems the lady should have asked for permission.
Re corrections: Let's work on this sentence:'Anyway we were be sited and...'. Hint: you can say 'be seated' - meaning 'sitting down'. So you can rewrite this sentence this way: 'Anyway we were seated and...'
Donnobad, Shaila.

Yes afro me too have a habit of smiling with strangers and also trying to carry and pet others kids.
Hereafter I have to be careful.
Yes, it is so not everyone is so friendly. It also the same in USA, you being a foreigner have to be careful in responding in such matters, even if the child itself getting free with you, you should keep a distance, otherwise there is the possibility of blame of attempting kidnapping.
Teeka assay Afro. We will be very careful not to do any action without putting into consideration what will happen next.
