Ding Bu Dong!

(from my journal, drunk in Guangzhou, thursday night)

Well ... I'm on the mo-foken mainland, yo! Guangzhou. it's as ridiculously, spectacularly pimped out as i'd feared - and hoped... i'm down on Shaiman Island, and there's a GIANT green multi-laser, about 20 synchronised spotlights bobbing up and down, and super pimped-out Chinese opera blasting across the Pearl River, while neon cruise ships float by. It's only 9 o'clock - mainly ... that i'm thoroughly overstimulated, that i make no sense? That no one understands me, that i don't understand ... much of it, that i'm good at gawping, had a thousand opportunities to buy more ankle socks - which i need - and turned them all down ... that i was too late to get the afternoon train to Kunming, and i'm glad, that this feels like ... like ... when i roused myself after ma afternoon nap and staggered outside, i felt like i was at the Big Day Out, on ketamine, with the sound down. Crowds, surging across concrete carparks, police, overpasses, all purposeful, i try to seem purposeful, to not be too obvious to the hawkers the hotel touts the random sifty dudes who hang around train stations are stare .. and there's this weird contradiction, wandering the streets and alleys and malls and what-have-you - i want desperately to exist, i start to feel myself slipping away - no language, no travel buddies, no purchase on any of the sounds and signs and China of it all, i want to look at people, strangers, to lock eyes until they smile / nod / hello me, until we exist for each other. but ... the people who are most likely to meet your eye, to be your instant friend, they want you in their hotel, want you to buy their socks, their singlets, want you to have a massage at their beautiful house ... 'no bad friend' ... so i stare and stare and stare, try to break through the initial barrier - but all the while, i'm ready to instantly withdraw, break contact shake my head walk faster, a flick of the hand, cross the road. don't look at my copy of the LP until i'm sure no one who wants my money is watching ...
