It's been a hectic last month but now the dust is finally settling down. I was so utterly busy I can't even belief all the things that took place. It's like I had no real life last month, aside from work. But now I'm done. Now I can finally breathe in peace again.
I'm starting to run out of everyday-life stories from Hong Kong. As Markus, in his blog, so well puts it: everything is pretty much routine by now and as such there is very little 'new' things happening, and repeating the old stuff again and again serves no purpose.
So, I will stop writing just about life here and henceforth write anything that comes to mind - not just HK stuff. I have, actually been doing that for some time now, but I just thought I'd make that clear so there is no disorientation.
Of course I will still write about life in HK or China as it is, when new topics arise; I will write about my views in politics or current trends in the world; or any other thing I find interesting. Don't expect much consistency. And don't expect me to be politically correct, because I'm not. And I don't expect you to agree with me either. But it's all ok. HA! I don't care.
Oh, and just a small additional remark on yesterday's topic:
"Hippies.They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad." - Eric Cartman
I am glad to tell you that, according to todays news, Mr. Arhinmäki, the Vice-Chairman of Finnish Left Alliance is disappointed in Finnish government's procedures to stop the climate change.
I, too, feel we should stop the climate change. I also think, we should plant a huge kick-ass rocket-engine on one side of our planet, and blast ourselves from the Sun's orbit, and maybe go hang out with Jupiter instead.
I think the sole reason why everything seems to get worse with the climate change is simply that no one knows what will happen, so it's easier to predict everything. The "climate scientists" are like modern-day Nostradumuses who give us their projections of what will happen by placing bets on every possible outcome - and if even one of them comes true, they can say "HA! We warned you!!! ... oh, and don't mind the things that didn't come true."
The planetary climate system is too complicated for anyone to make any kind of estimates of what will happen. We are told that 1+1 = 2, but what we are not told is that it's not so simple. There are countless variables and countless different outcomes that may happen. No one knows!
Oh, and once more. I do think we should protect our planet and reduce waste and pollution. But I think we should do it just because then our planet would be nicer to live in, not because of climate change. We can't stop it. We can adapt to it, however, and that's what I think we should do.
I mean, if the sea-level rises, I'm sure we can grow tulips somewhere else. HA!
"I hate hippies! I mean, the way they always talk about "protectin' the earth" and then drive around in cars that get poor gas mileage and wear those stupid bracelets - I hate 'em! I wanna kick 'em in the nuts!" - Eric Cartman
