Hmm, interesting thread.

I lived in Australia for a year and a half, and found in general I fit in fairly well, though it was hard in some ways... I can't imagine what it'd be like in China though. Someone I knew in Oz actually had a nervous breakdown while she was living over there... I have a couple of friends in Japan but I'm guessing (haven't been to either) Japan is a bit more westernized than China..

A friend of mine who spent a few years in tokyo told me it was like a city on ecstasy...

The confusion that is concomitant is just the chaff that gets in the way of seeking the kernel.

Keep seeking the kernel.

Seriously.......................I see myself as living at the parting of society, I get on with all types of people, kings saints paupers and devils, I believe that being unwilling to join a group or stay in a field allows me the freedom to be creative but at the same times gives no sense of security, which is a good thing because in this life nothing is certain. Wankers are blind to me.

Yeah, I get that.

I've spent long swathes of time alone over the last decade - minimal human contact, it's been an interesting journey.

I still feel fluid enough to engage as required, and I love people, can happily go out and meet and mix with any and all kind of peeps. Although as I mature, I find myself considering - even concerned about - "the future", with greater frequency.

I don't have kids, have not a lot a dosh, no "circle of friends" per se - more like "different people I know".

And while there are certainly certain certainties tied to the vagiaries of freedom, there is also, I'm sure, a certain freedom to be found in stability.

I'm content, in some ways, but the urge to create something a little more lasting is definately there, along with the nag that says I'm already way late in starting (again).

I guess that's why Urban has been such a fertile experience for me. Human contact in diversity.

Deary me......

It must be impending early-middle age.
