Time still flies like a motherfucker. It’s incredible that I’ve been back here for almost 2 months now.
There’s shit happening all the
time, new situations and people popping up, overall, it’s quite fun. The only thing that kinda bothers me that the
weather is really going south. It’s getting colder and it’s not getting better anytime soon.
Last Wednesday, I met up with a friend of mine, we hung out
for a bit and cooked some vegan dishes. Got stuffed, got baked, got home around
1am on an OFO bike, one hand on the handlebar, a can of beer in the other. Fuck
me.
On Friday, I got invited to this psy trance thing close to
Hongqiao Airport. I didn’t
really know what to expect but I assumed we’re
talking some house party or some shit. However, after a subway ride to Shanghai
Zoo and a following cab ride, we ended up right by the fence of the airport next
to a river where a guy had this sound system installed. It’s was a really small event – like 10 people just hanging out,
drinking and dancing. I managed to spend some time preaching socialism to
confused Chinese girls too. Cause this motherfucker know how to partaaay. It
was super fun though, the sound was loud and clear, people were cool. It got shut down by cops around 3am and after that we
took a cab back home.
On Saturday, it was Halloween. Now, I’m not really into any of that shit so me and my friend
eventually decided to pass on all potential Halloween parties and costumes and
all of that shit people enjoy for whatever kinda reason. We were just meeting
up in a park for a beer and chat. Before that, I got a text from another friend
of mind saying she’s at a house party at my
compound. Literally two buildings away from mine. So I started my night there.
And boy, was I out of place. Everyone was rocking a super advanced costume, body
paint, face paint, accessories. Grease, Incredible Hulk, Robin Hood, fucking
everything. Showing up in a hoodie and some sweatpants, I didn’t fit in at fucking all. They forced me to
put some fake blood on my face, cause that’s what
normal people do on Halloween. I drank a beer and some Ballantine’s, hopped on my bike and was on my way to the park across
Dada. Oh, by the way, the apartment was insane. It looked like money, smelled
like money, it had a big ass living room with a view at Pudong. Visibility was
good so Shanghai Tower was flashing in the background, one of guys played a set using this big ass Native Instruments midi controller – some upper
echelon shit. I continued drinking at the park and eventually ended up in
Dada for a bit. Since I had to wake up early on Sunday and since I was kinda sleep
deprived from Friday already, I didn’t
really push it and wrapped it up around 1am.
On Sunday, I met with my journalist friend after some time
and we had a great dinner in our regular restaurant. This time, I actually
managed to get back home before midnight to have some rest before going to
campus early morning today. So there we go – I’m in the library again trying to get
some work done, being responsible and shit.
Highlights:
- The party next to the airport. Drinking and watching airplanes taking off and touching down is just nice.
- Migos – Motorsport feat. Cardi and Nicki. This is a solidified banger.
- I dedicated vast majority of Friday to reading a book. Just relaxing and reading. I forgot how amazing that shit feels. Gotta do this a regular thing.
