back in town for 2 or 3 weeks
ahh, so good to be back. I’m at my parents’ house for the next 2 or 3 weeks, enjoying all that is Vancouver. Presently, i’m enjoying a multigrain flax pita with some artichoke and jalepeño dip, and i just had a nice big glass of fortified soy milk. Last night i had a luxurious sleep, using blankets! Lately in china it’s been 33C or more overnight, so i’ve been sleeping naked on a bamboo mat. I haven’t used blankets in over a month and a half, and the sheets were always soaked with sweat until i started using the bamboo instead (so a bit of air can circulate underneath, and it doesn’t absorb the sweat and stay damp either). it’s a little cool in vancouver right now, which everyone here is complaining about, but to me it just feels like someone left the AC on so it’s wonderful.
Today i’m gonna ride my bike over to the Under The Volcano festival of art and social change, in North Vancouver. Riding my own bike again is such a treat…i went out last night and felt the fantastic feeling of having a bike that’s not too small. Everything on that bike is tweaked to perfection for my body shape, and it was like tasting a fine wine after months of drinking muddy water. Well, hopefully i’ll see some of you vancouverites around here soon.
Ride hard, ride free
