It's been quite a while since I wrote something, I must apologize for my english readers as I may have neglected them for my french readers who are in a larger number since I'm french. I had lots of health problems these last days. I catched an everlasting cold, then for the last days i was throwing up and feeling very weak since i wasn't able to eat anything. Those are the joys of travelling far abroad. The only thing I haven't got so far is what usually the foreigners get first, tourista. There is not alot to do around here, mostly when you are not able to get what you want since that language barreer isn't easy to blow away. I bought a PS2, for entertainement with my hotel neighboors. Next step is a laptop, which I miss a lot for making music and playing the games I like. But I am not missing a lots of things except for that and maybe for the fact that the people here have absolutely no artistic initiative. They are very good at following and copying. Everything here is faked. The popular thing to do around here at night is karaoke. I can actually hear those chineses screaming their lumbs out on the late hours since my hotel room is close to one of those karaoke places. I really find that whole karaoke craze stupid. You only have a few songs repeating over and over again. You lock yourself in a room with a couple of people and you sing all night, as if you were the singer. They don't care for the music... usually it is a midi track with flat sounds. The important thing is that they recognize the song so that they can sing over it. Most of the songs are romance songs, as if they would have borrow the kitschiest side of western pop music. So if you are not into Karaoke, you may experience a long long time here. My fun is to make mouth sounds on the mic. It's time that I get back to music and start sampling those people around me. I don't really have new ideas, it will just come when I'll start making some new music.
