Day: August 1, 2010

Light up and sit down

I know people say life goes on, and it does, and no one tells you that’s not a good thing. Why is that?

– Betty Draper, Season 1

Get out of here and move forward. This never happened. It will shock you how much it never happened.

– Don Draper, Season 2

You’re not good at relationships because you don’t value them.

– Roger Sterling, Season 3

Do what the locals do

On most of the business trips, I tend to ‘window-shop’ and ‘sight-see’ from a moving vehicle between the office and the hotel. The routine and simplicity do not bother me. It is still going to work except in a different currency.

When I am done soaking up the quiet, I like to venture into the crowds and listen to the conversations of the local. It is my little way to taste the life of what it can be. Of what it might have been, perhaps. Then when I get lost in the massive underground train system or be rejected by cab drivers who do not like reading maps, I will just pretend to be a contestant in the amazing race.
