A layman’s guide to…
Because it can take me 20 minutes to order food in a restaurant, and up to 6 months to find a dress for the ball, I thought I should get started.
And I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.
The tube ride home from Brixton…with a djembe.
I knew I was gonna get mocked. The sight of a chink with an African drum must have provoked and opened up the intrigued. Some random dude obnoxiously banged his hand on my djembe (sorta expected something like that would happen). A gentleman asked if he could have a go at it (I passed it to him and he started playing). The woman next to me shared that they play somewhat similar instruments at weddings in her country (she was from the Philippines and we had an “I have elbows” moment). Two girls took pictures (no comment). Plenty of stares. You think London would be immune to oddity. Think again.
Why I wanna go to Tokyo
An ever growing list:
- Tsukiji fish market
- Harajuku girls walking alongside geishas
- The lavatory experience
- The new gourmet’s paradise
- To find out why people live so long
