City Diner

hello again, i'm back.

I'm sitting in a place called City Diner, a 24 hour "American Style" diner situated in the heart of the west Nanjing Rd. business area. A happening place to be sure. Next door is a restaurant called "Eat Drink Man Woman," I haven't been there yet ... but I will be there.

Sitting on the table in front of me is a plate that once held a sky high lemon meringue pie.

Sitting across from me is a young woman who goes only by Little Punk. It's a very fitting moniker. She's wearing a pink tie with black and gold polka-dot hearts over top of a dirty KISS shirt and some ridiculous white rimmed bubble sunglasses. She enjoys punk rock, smoking cigarettes and speaking in that british accent you hear homeless people speak in movies. She is unaware that I am writing this.

I might end up making most of my posts from this diner, with or without little punk ... it's just a comfortable place to be, it is exactly the same as any number of diners in the states. Well, exactly the same except that: It's clean and the decor is aesthetically pleasing. It is mostly populated by french people speaking in some silly language and smoking long, skinny cigarettes, and undoubtedly insulting me as I am typing this. The food is good and cheap and it is open 24 hours with free internet access. The waitresses are cute Chinese girls and there is a TV playing some strange eastern European music videos ... other than that, exactly the same.

I've learned that I can climb out of my window and get onto the roof of my apartment complex. Its fun. There's no point to it, the view isn't even that nice, but i can look into the windows of the neighboring apartment complexes which have more floors then mine. I saw a man feeling up his maid while she soothed his crying child the other day ... It's better than porn, except that the people aren't beautiful, inside or out ... but maybe that's why it's better.

I might start a band.

That's about it for today

This is my first post. I live in China and I enjoy it very much. There are many peoples of varying height and body composition, but all of them have hearts of gold.
