Moondance wafting from a speaker overhead
Smooth coffee at my side
Everything under control on this computer screen
Dripping humidity outside
Shut the fuck up Van I'm trying to think
Arrived Hong Kong Thursday arvo around 3:15... these people have transit under control. Off the plane, through customs, out the door, on the fast train, alight at Central, Hong Kong Island 45 minutes later. Is it really that difficult Mr Brumby?
Next move.. forgot the address of my destination.. the Hong Kong Fringe Club. It's been 10 years, I'm disoriented and no one speaks English. Flinge? Wha? Wha?
45 minutes later I'm in an internet cafe and gather my bearings online. Back to the rank. Lower Albert Rd, next to the Foreign Correspondents Club. Naturally.
It's the little things that make a difference.
The Fringe is as it was 10 and 11 years ago. I was by turns an international performing artist and an Asialink Management Resident. Those were the days. It even smells the same. Who am I?
Cat is the perfect host. Organises an escort for my meetings (the lovely, diminutive 'Ice' from Guangzou .. spellcheck), dinner, theatre tickets and accomodation. It's great to see her. I'm sad to say goodbye again.
Downtown Wanchai. Bladerunner country. Any minute now a flying vehicle is going to descend and Harrison's going to jump out, weapon in hand and down some bad guys.
Sleeping in a box on the 21st floor, views of other 21st flooors as far as the eye can see. Beautiful, blank Thai girls lounging in doorways. Drunk ex-pats falling to the pavement at 10 am after a big start to the World Cup.Unidentifiable fried food every 100 metres. Aerial neon advertising creating a cacophony in the sky.
I"m uninspired to be a tourist or to shop shop shop. Think I'll swim and nap before 21 hours to Accra via Air Ethiopia... ha dee ha
Can someone spellcheck ... I'm losing my vocabularic confidence here .. this computer is a function free zone.
Well, you asked for it. MS Word's corrections in 'quotes' (good post, but - nice flavour)
