生活

上完西班牙文課,和幾個新加坡學生和一個香港學生一起吃早餐.
是的,在這裏有13個香港學生,來自港大,中大,科大和嶺大. 
當然還遇到了大約十個來自新加坡不同大學的學生. 而我經常hangout with的不是香港學生,而是新加坡學生. 談到交流生的國藉,這裡最多的竟是德國人,在我上的6個課程中, 每班都有1/3德國學生.

在早餐期間,25歲,已有女朋友的Andre慨嘆,在南美,亞洲男孩很難有艷遇,"Those Mexican girls are crazy about white guys, they don't pay a damn shit on me."
可是南美男人卻喜歡亞洲女孩,很不公平,he sighed with an injured ego.

"oh, no. Asian girls are popular among white guys too. Australians are also obsessed with Asian girls."  他說得有點咬牙切齒,像是恨不得自己是女生一樣. 

好像有點道理,可是背後更深一層的gender differences 是什麼呢?

White supremacy, yep. coz of the colonial power, and girls want something of certainty, a sense of security, so white guys fulfill the expectation, and fits the perception.

but men, they care races less, 畢竟當談到relationship,當中的大男人主義,they are the one to provide the sense of security and protection to women. 所以,種族,膚色對他們的man ego沒有多大的影響?to go further, 男人都是用下半身思考, so such underlying cultural codes don't matter?

-------
在上六點課的break中,和兩個本地同學談了一會.我告訴他們, 早上聽到的新聞, 
前兩天,有一個男人在學校附近宿舍前,用槍射殺了另一個人. 可是,在他賄賂警察後,他給釋放了. 

當中一個同學說,”well, we have lots problems and struggles, but we don't pay attention to that. live for today is enough”.

我無言了. 

放學後,和另同一個同學一起走, 她說,最恐怖的shooting是在去年, 有三名學生在踏出校門時給射殺了,兩個master students, one was Phd. "the atmosphere was so tense and fearful."

but gradually it died down coz life goes on...

-----
attended one film workshop.

Speaker is a 24-year-old, Bolivian guy. He is a former student in the Tec.

Pretty interesting....

當中有一個女生住在host mama附近, she gave me a free ride after the film workshop.
她說, 她是他的好朋友,大學時一起上課,然後一起上教會, 甚至曾約會一個月,不過後來大家都覺得不是彼此的cup of tea. 成為了知己. 

然後,她邀請我去她的教會,因為有一個美國的傅教士, 沒有language barriers.

要發生的都發生著,順著生活走,會看見未來的.
