Interesting Conversations on the metro..

So, as per usual, let me first apologize for not updating my blog more. I actually was intending to put up some new posts about my Istanbul trip, and some other things, but just got lazy. It's really cold here, and that just makes me lazier. The holidy season was a blur, I lost my Iphone on new years so I've been with this shitty phone that I am incapable of texting with. I don't know how people text so fast with those 9 number button phones. I was one of the few people in PC Georgia that stayed here I think. So the time past by very slowly, and nothing really happened...

I was take the metro in Tbilisi just a few minutes ago, when on the metro, this guy across from me starts talking to me and going into a rant on why Chinese people like sushi so much. Or something like that. It was all in Georgian, and since I've moved out of my host family apartment, my Georgian has stagnated. But I think the gist of his rant was why Chinese people like sushi and what kind of fish do you like, and so on.. I interjected at some point that sushi is a Japanese dish and I like tuna and salmon. Not sure I got my point across. I think the conversation (or rather the monologue, since I was barely participating) went on to cover kick boxing and karate and Jackie Chan. I think i've been called Jackie Chan more than 2 dozen times in Georgia. I guess thats the only chinese person they know. These type of conversations are very common place for me in Georgia. I definitely yearn for the anonymity I have in America.

I'll try to post more... maybe... no promises...
