I'm getting ready to go to the S.H.E concert. This entails several things; doing my nails (I like doing my nails for concerts. I almost wrote "S.H.E" on them, but figured it was too cutesy. I'm not in Asia anymore), actually doing my makeup (I've gotten in the habit of only doing foundation/eyebrows recently. Now that my skin is better, I feel less like I have to pile on makeup to distract), and charging my camera battery.
Because, you KNOW I'm going to try to tape some of it. I hope I don't get caught, because I don't have the excuse of not understanding what the hell they're telling me here. It's been so long since I've been to a concert in the US (7 years, guys) that I don't remember what is acceptable.
I'm also getting ready to feel ridiculously awkward for being white. Jpop is one thing, even Kpop is getting more international play, but Cpop is still mainly the domain of the Chinese. Hell, being interested in anything Chinese related, and being non-Chinese is awkward. Believe me. And while I did build up an immunity to the staring and general awkwardness of being the odd man out while in Taiwan, I'm afraid that's long since gone. It's odd, suddenly experiencing how it feels to be a minority. Makes me all that more impressed by people who live with it daily.
Anyway, check back later. I should write at least something about it, PERHAPS WITH PICTURES!
concerts,
