Plane to China

1. Her Number in the Paper

Home (parents) on Sunday, living room. Dad's newspaper is open on the table, the low table in the living room. His usual newspaper. Something is written on the page that lies open, with a marker, purple colour, on all the sides where there is room. It is the number of Kaco. I hope nobody notices, but I suppose that my dad will tell me about it, so I assume he knows. Yet I am embarrassed, but I don't say anything. Really big letters, I think everyone must have seen it already. But nobody has said anything about it yet. I hope nobody does.

2. 50 Euro Note

Maybe the same dream. Rain. Father. German. Learning something. Outside, in front of the house. Dark.

50 euro. Book by Cesar Millar and his dogs.

I explain how someone else got to his text. Maybe this is also about the newspaper, or an article?

Maybe the same dream. Someone keeps saying gozaimasu.

+ Jotr?

3. Chinese Lang

The weekend workshop taiji has just ended and we are already on the move again and queuing for taking the plane to China. I am coming along, although I had not expected this, but I have no choice in the matter. My brother D and his friend Pese are here with me, I'm sure they will guide me well, because they have been to China before. And while I am at the airport, which does not look like an airport at all, I am thinking, this is not so bad at all, going to China. What is all the fear about? It is easy.

Light, lots of people. Outside to inside. Garden first, with high fences, vegetation. Pool. Then in the house, some stairs in front of the house, we enter one after the other. The wait is long because there are so many people.

Inside we walk through a big room. This is really like a house. But you have to keep moving, and eventually we would go out at the back and get our plane there. But I see the toilets and go there for a minute. This is a long narrow hallway, all white, but the toilets themselves, a whole row of them, are not clean. I try to ignore that.

Bale is here too. In the meanwhile I also try to learn a bit Chinese, or rehears what I learned before. There is this one word: lang, which we keep saying, but we try to get the intonation right. Làng.
