I am very stimulated here. Maybe this is what a vacation feels like.
i am losing my english a bit from talking simply and learning mandarin.

I am writng on my palm pilot - excuse the spelling/punctuation.

Everybody's house has an air conditioner-the houses are built with an outdoor shelf to fit an air conditioner. My aunt got one for her new place- I was talking, through my aunt to the air conditioner installation guy was my age. Delightful getting a perspetive from sombody "cool" (he hooked stylish) and my age about hong kong. He said as he left that it was too bad I don't know cantonese and that he doesn't Know Enghish or w could go out for drinks. He said that if we have luck we will see each other again. That's a very interesting saying. I have to remember that.

If we have luck, we will see each other again.


Sentence I say most often here: "mgui tze tze" (Ask a Heung Konghua to help you say it). Its what you say to get by people. There are ssooo many people-on the streets and in the malls in the urban areas that you need to get attention to walk by.

I notice my eye is getting more sensitive to the variation in faces. An anthropocentric adaptation, me believes.
