Simon


This blog is dedicated to Simon

Everyone, meet Simon. This picture was taken without his authorization or knowledge, thus it is not a good angle. However, this man was impertinent to forming our experience in China.

Facts learned about Simon:
1. He is from Denmark
2. He likes techno-music
3. He wanders the streets of China after hours and subsequently gets a ride home in a police vehicle
4. All Chinese are trying to steal from him
5. ...Especially the women he takes home with him for the night whom leave with his money
6. He hates teaching
7. After getting ready to go... somewhere... he stands absentmindedly on his doorstep wondering what he was going to do
8. He wanted to murder us in his sleep
9. Val claims the above is true
10. We are exceptional at mimicking his accent

Thank you Simon, for giving us something to write home about.

ugly // handsome

the development of more unique talents
lightly-ribbed, pale green skin
covered by a layer of fat

goths and punks usually use a wide range of dark colours
the ability to see in the dark
maxi pads to mop up your excited tears
a concentrated solution of sugar

slaughtered, gutted and heartbroken
frequently voluntary

a kind of innocent pride
his childhood was filled with long hospital stays
imperfect flowers
an unspecific derogatory epithet
