Hey Life in the East
Well as of May 24th I will have been here for about a year. Wow time flies, but I don't really care about time anymore. It is just there-little attention getter- waiting for you to worry. At times a little tired of people approahing me and wanting to practice english. Usually it ends up being school kids who think it is funny to say hello to a foreigner. Some times I pretend I don't know english, I say in chinese that I speak, German, Spanish French. Then I attempt at what little I know of German and frnech, more so Spanish on them. Once I did this with a girl in a bar, I felt bad but at times you want your own space. So anyway Besides all that,life is good here can't really complain. Just work studying a little, and playing with my band. That is all not to exciting. I was in a bar the other night and saw a fight. We actually got a little involved. Well we went to this bar for one of my roomates birthdays and it was 15 dollars US to get in for all you can drink till 4:00am. So of course all the foreigners are goign to show up here. The entire night the front of the bar was a revolving door for the foreigners. I figured at soem point some jackass- Usually American, sorry guys- would end up getting the itch to put his fist into someones personal bubble. So Brian and I were standing there and saw this one guy getting punched and then dragged to the floor. I watched and then some people broke it up. The guy on the floor, was totally wasted, he got up and was attacking a taiwanese guy for no reason so Brian, my cousin and I ran over there to stop that. I pulled the taiwanese guy away and explained in chinese that it was alright the guy did not know and he is stupid and fucked up. So my cousin went down to the floor with the fucked up guy, who had a hold of his hair. My Cous got loose, and the guy was just laying there. Brian was trying to help him up but to no avail. Anyway the bar turned on the lights, and it was closing time. I decided to get another beer for the road, went to the bar and the bartender said, "Last one okay, please?". I said yeah no problem, I thought it was funny. So we attempt to go outside, and as we are trying to go upstairs the ass drunkard was trying to come back in. We could not get past, brian tried to push by and the guy grabbed ahold of his shirt. So I grabbed the guys arm and ripped it off his shirt pushed the guys out of the way on down the stairs aways. So evidently the guy was already upstairs, before this and decided he did not want in the cab. He jumped on top of the cab and then the cab driver put the car in reverse, sending the guy flying to the front where he ripped off the cab sign on top. Well it was a good night nontheless. Bad hangover the next day though.
