A friend advises me to head to China, suggesting that it might be an adventure, and that the relationship drought that presently holds could thus be solved.
Well, an adventure it certainly would be.
But not a solution to the drought.
Any person who enters my life will have to have English as a strong first language. Communication is vastly better if both sides think similarly, and in the same tongue, as well as to the same degree of literacy.
That final item requires elucidation.
I read some seriously deep stuff.
As well as complete garbage.
And I enjoy both equally.
Actually, besides news articles, for the past several months I've mostly read light fiction, manga, and trash. LOTS of trash.
Plus a little bit of Dutch and Chinese poetry.
Other than that, it's been lists of ingredients on packaged food. Admittedly there is not much literary value there, and no plot or character development...........
VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
A companion should have an avid interest in food, a keen appreciation of Monty Python, and the ability to talk back.
Silence is deafening.
I suspect that such a person is somewhat more common on this side of the Pacific.
Possibly even here in San Francisco.
At least, I sure hope so.
We could compare our favourite lists of ingredients.
