Full charge
So I extended my stay in D.mond by an extra week. I had such a good time eating really good asian food, speaking Japanese, hearing other languages, being surrounded by other asian-Canadians, and seeing my family and friends of course. It wasn't that I was homesick in the traditional sense of the word...I really missed being around other people who accept me as one of their own. Of course D.mond faces a lot of racism issues of its own...still, it was nice not being the outsider again. The reality is that K-town is full of a lot of hate and racism and people seem to be ignoring what is happening to those that are "visible". If I can help to move along social changes by being open about my experiences, I am now ready to pick up the fight where I left off. I've had my dimsum fix, my head is clear, my batteries are charged, I'm ready to go, bring it on K-town.
