i just watched a documentary on the nanking massacre back in the late 1930s and i wept countless times watching it. it's so tragic that i can't forgive myself for being part of the human race. there will be a sino-german production on john rabe, one of the few missionaries that played a humanitary role during the war; scheduled to be released this year. i must get my hands on the dvd once it's out.
sitting alone in my one-bedroom apartment, i have nothing but my laptop and the dvds. life as a foreigner certainly seems good here, you get paid more, and you have the advantage of meeting people from other countries and having good conversations one after another.
yikes. my phone just rang and it's a text message. i hope no one's asking me out as i caught the flu bug and staying indoors would be a much wiser choice since it's smoky and -7C outside.
nope, it wasn't anyone. jim texted me earlier, asking me to join them at some bar at the embassy area. i passed. had to, else i'll be sick the whole of next week, not being able to function 100% at work is bad...
as this is my first post, i'd like to express a deep thought within me - the fact that i'm 25 going 26, in this foreign city all by myself - is a very good accomplishment. i'm glad i stepped out of my comfort zone and living a good life here. although it gets very lonely, i'm glad to say that i have a network of mutual friends from many countries in case i get super bored.
it's 9pm and i think i should hit the shower and reply more emails. and later maybe a dvd on fidel castro or maybe robert de niro. i love my life and i'm not giving up on anything just yet - except, well, later.
