It was a local festival last night, fireworks, the noise came to strike my ears from the other side of island, endless boats traffic on canals with loud music and not fading enthusiasm. No place was peaceful.
It's beautiful to see how the sky turns bright from dark at sea. At first it was vague, just swallow some stars, like seeing a little light behind paper, then more and more clear, then the sun shows up, warm color, wind became warmer, then blue sky, a whole new day.
It's impossible to live a life totally disconnected to human society. I tried three days of homelessness but the situation I handled wasn't the worst at all, I had free access to public toilet at university(thank to my student card), free wifi near uni buildings. All these are something I can't live without. I can't pee on street, can't not use social media and network contact people. I lived on street, yet still enjoyed music, podcast from my earphone, watched videos, movies on laptop...
So, what if, cut all the connection with human society for a day? What would happen? No phone, no electricity, no signal, no any affair, just sit there, enjoy the day. What do people do, when they do nothing? What do people think, when they say nothing?
4th day, hung out with friends despite the fact that I haven't had shower for four days and I bet I stunk. After that I went to friend's home, well, here I am right now, took a shower, changed clothes, had a good night sleep, home sweet home. You appreciate something more, things that we usually take for granted, when you have the experience of not having it.
I washed my shirt yesterday in library bathroom, and it won't dry in library, so I took it outside, standing right on the street, holding my shirt in the air, with the help of wind, I looked like catching fish from the air, then flip, turn around, turn over, flip over, keep holding in the sunshine... I must look very stupid there.
