Hello people, czeching back in from cold ass Shanghai. Still
housesitting at my friends’
apartment, the doggie is sleeping on my lap again... The weather outside is
keeping its winter vibe. It is what it is. The idea of beaches in Indonesia is
becoming more and more appealing. Coming in two weeks now!
So what did I do last week... Let’s see. Tuesday evening, I joined 3 of my friends for
another mediation session at that guerilla spot next to Jing’an temple. 20 minutes of non-guided
meditation followed by couple of hours of talk. The meditation was amazing. I
just zoned out and got on a great wave which I rode all the wave to the end.
And throughout the talk, I got on my political rants which resulted to some friend requests and follow-up
questions during the week. I like these meditation nights... Gonna be back this week.
On Wednesday, I went for a dinner at Jen Dow with a friend, and
then we went ahead to meet more friends to do a movie night. We got
together around 8pm and played the last Tarantino movie. I saw it shortly after
premiere in the Czech Republic in summer so this was my second go. And I
enjoyed it even more this time around. It is a great movie. And the way the guy
writes his stuff is just beyond me. He’s an
alien.
Saturday morning, I got invited for a vegan breakfast by
this Indian guy whom I inspired to go vegan recently. He invited this love
Chinese vegan girl and my Czech friend too. We met up at his studio in French
concession, he made lot of amazing Indian food, some oat milk tea, the girl
brought some buns... And what I expected to be a brief breakfast turned into
like 6 hours of hanging out. Right after, I biked to my apartment to give a
tour to a Chinese guy who might take it for the duration of my absence. Then it was
gym, and then I met some of my favorite people to go for a Christmas market in
Jing’an. I think I’ve been to that one before couple
years back (and if I wasn’t too
lazy, I think I could confirm that by scrolling through my older blogs) and shit
hasn’t really changed much.
Ridiculous amounts of people, lotta plastic Christmas decorations, lines everywhere.
You have no idea. This thing is held in a yard and due to space limitations, they were restricting the number of people inside which
resulted in like 100 meters’ line.
Since one of my friend speaks Chinese, we kinda hustle our way out of that and
got in with no waiting but god damn... Fucking Christmas. We did some mulled
wine, had a pretty good time, and after that, me and my friend dropped by at
Bites and Brews for one final cup of that magical Christmas beverage.
On Sunday, I met up with my Macedonian guy for a beer at my
Beer Lady spot, and then went to see the Chinese guy again to kinda confirm this subletting
of my room situation. Seems like it’s
happening which is cool. Not losing 2 months’ rent is
a bit better than losing it.
Outside of that, it’s been
the same old. Feeling good, my workouts are still intact, everything is going
well. Had couple of calls with my fam back home, couple of great calls with my
lovely girlfriend. My people doing good over here, life is good. You guys have
a great week, positive vibes only.... Gonna talk to you next Monday. One!
Highlights:
- New Kontrafakt singles. Got me back on CZ/SK hip-hop for a bit.
- Weather. It is cold but for the most part it’s also sunny, which is super nice. No raincoat needed, outdoor workout still perfectly possible.
- Joe Rogan podcast with Edward Snowden. Made me get his last book too. Got so much respect for the guy...
