I love this fucking city. Every time I walk around this
motherfucker… Every time I ride around
this motherfucker… Day or night… Reading in parks, hanging out with
my peers, drinking beer outside…
Watching all those skyscrapers, smelling all the street food and feeling the
energy of countless of nations that all kinda melt here… It still amazes me. After all this time…
Like in many other parts of the world, we had a state
holiday on May 1st, so the city got little more chilled in terms of
traffic, and little more active in terms of culture. I used that opportunity to
visit the last day of the second Shanghai vegan fest that took place on a rooftop of one of the malls close to
m50. All those crepes, pancakes, chocolates… Damn…
They also organized this jazz fest in Jing’an Park so I met with my vegan peers
as well as people from the school and spent some time over there. It was
super dope. People of different races, ages, cultures, sexual orientation… All spending time together dancing,
having picnics, sitting or lying around, smoking and drinking right in the city
center… Not bad for a communist
country, right? We wrapped up the special day in a bar with a bunch of people playing
Cards Against Humanity… So
yeah, awesome day…
I wanted to do some partying last weekend but I got little
sick for a day so I decided to give up on that. Gonna have to do it soon – already having mild clubbing withdrawal
symptoms. I kinda like that once summer kicked in, lotta shit happens
organically. There are lots of things going on, I get lots of messages from
people I know wanting to do stuff, it’s a really
cool part of a year…
It’s
getting tougher in the school though. The end of semester is approaching so we
get more exams and assignments. However, that’s all
gonna end in about a month and then the vacay starts. I also started
posting my room to different groups and online listings trying to get rid of it
before I leave. Don’t really want to pay the rent
over the summer and my contract is due in October. I hope, I’ll manage to find someone to take
over…
Highlights:
- Chinese flags put all along main road in the city for the holiday.
- Like 70 years old Chinese guy dancing his ass off at the jazz fest. And like 50 people cheering for him. Something incredible.
- I’m the One by Khaled. I don’t particularly like the song but I can’t get it out of my head and I dig the line-up. I guess that’s the summer talking. And every new Wayne verse is a win...
