Ok, You know I often wonder if I play too many video games and they may be lowering my self-awareness, because I spend more time in the virtual world than in the real one. That’s a good question, and looking back at all the hours I’ve spent playing video games when I was your age I can honestly say I regret nothing. Gaming is about memories that will last forever and you had a…
"Hey there buddy 2"Category: life
I got that other list you ask me about. The list of sexual partners? Eh, no, hm… the list of travelers I’ve met over the years. I wasn’t serious that day, we had a lot to drink and I was just brainstorming, please don’t tell me you made a list with tens of thousands of names. I figured that wouldn’t be possible, but… I also found that most people I’ve met had suspiciously similar characteristics,…
"Intro to people from couchsurfing"
Oh, sorry i forgot t tell you, we don’t use fighting anymore Why not? I don’t know, people just stop using some words and phrases over time so that new ones can take their place. Can I still use ftw. I don’t think so, they wouldn’t know what you mean. Kind of like quoting Monty Phyton? Yeah, something like that, wait, how long have you been off the internet? I don’t know, a few years,…
"List of countries"
I have an idea! Oh, hi! I have an idea. You can write here again? You should ask “what kind of idea?” I thought you had lost the password for this blog and for your cutepuppybrunogmail account, how come you can write again? same as before I can’t access it or read what I wrote, can only email it from my Chinese email for it to be auto-posted. Oh yeah, I remember, well, how have…
"Writing our thoughts"
Do you remember firefly? No, what’s that? An old sci-fi show. What was it about? It’s like cowboys but in space. 2 genres I’d rather skip on. Well, just watch it. But… Just watch it, you know that’s how I always imagined your life to be like. Like a cowboy in space? Well, maybe not really cowboys, more like renegades, smugglers, thieves, they have to do odd jobs always in different planets, like retrieving some…
"Chaotic good"
So, what’s the general sentiment at the heart of life in China? It would be hard to say, hard to choose just feeling to represent such a vast nation’s real motivations, and it’s hard to criticize it, with the limit perspective of being generally just an outsider. We, as foreigners have heard or read most of the hardships the Chinese population has been put through, but we haven’t experienced them ourselves. How about just one…
"Life in China"
Are you usually overworked there? It depends some weeks are worse than others, this week we have summer camp at our school, so we have lessons from 9 to 1 then we have to go to some outing, and then few more lessons in the evening. Do you have some assistants to help you? I have a few and they are the good ones. What do you mean by “the good ones”? Well you know…
"News from China"
But you know, actually, I agree with Gustavo that everyone should work at some farm for at least a month every year so that later when they come back to the city they don’t take for granted the food they eat every day. And my grandfather also was right about something. He always told me I should learn a trade, like carpentry, plumbery or something so that I can always find work in any country,…
"Thoughts on general life advice that was given to me at an earlier time and place"
While hitchhiking, I got picked up by this guy, he was 82 and told me the story of his life. He had been working as a sailor and got to go to many countries in Asia and South America. He was thrilled to meet people from distant lands. Lived by himself in a very remote area of New Zealand. Only 20 people lived in his town, so he was feeling a bit lonely. He invited…
"WHile hitchhiking in NZ"
火中天津甘栗拳 was a technique in Ranma 1/2 that Ranma used to pick up some hot chestnuts out of a very hot place, he had to do it very fast otherwise he would burn his/her hands. I learned that special move as a teenager after watching Ranma doing it and practicing it a bit, never really thought it would come in handy though. Until this year in New Zealand, I had 2 jobs where I actually had…
