Crazy China,
China, weird smells, looks, lanuage, general feelings of everything. Culture shock, minority for the first time in my life. Strange food, I think I ate frog legs, just pointed to picture, I wanted something challenging, but once eaten, well, not sure how it sits. Pint of beer, oh beer oh beer, how familiar you are no matter where I am. Thinking I should be stickering, but once out, too many sounds, sights smells, people to take in. I forget I am hungrey till I take rest. Too bewildered to look where I am going, tripping, falling, tripping, bumping, knocked around and bumping into things. I am feasting my eyes to look where I am going.
bargin clothes, bargin food, universal attitudes of youth around. Laughing, have had some fun trying to communicate. Mute, mute, mute I find I have lost my voice, my mode of communica, my soul of expression that definds me. all I do now is point, point point. Look, laugh, show some scribble in a book, ah.... kind of understand, look down, around, at them, are they just as embaressed as I? Who am I if I cannot yell out to the world through lanuage.
Who are these people, why do I feel as if everyone is out to scam me. Who has tarnished their minds before I have come here? Who has given them this impression of me, they do not know me, but the colour of my skin, the colour of my money. Children walk with me holding out there hands. Beggers grip on to me and will not let me pass, shouting at me, I cannot understand, but I know they understand, I am a walking bag of gold, if they hang on to me, it will spill out, showering them in good fortune.
I know this is culture shock, and fuck anyone who thinks I am arrogant or biggoted. I just want my tongue to reach out and touch them in understanding. Alas, I am a lonely voice with the wrong characters in my voice. I want to laugh with them.
China is a weird place for me, hello guangzhou, you are now part of my life.
Just a few thoughts on china.
