We need some real bad news from other countries to feel happy over here. We are actually spoiled and complain too much. Honestly, things are just great over here. No madmen going around with machine guns killing people, no suicide bombers blowing up 30 people at once, no kidnappings in broad daylight.
And we can have YOGA. Not like in Indonesia where medieval minds come up with all kinds of fatwas to make everybody feel miserable, especially women (anyway, those are inferior beings, you know). Even yoga is bad. In Bali they are not too happy about it. Seeing all those hated religious extremists, I feel like becoming a Party Member.
Just wait till week and there ain’t no better place to be than Beijing.
Let’s all be happy, have a beer in Sanlitun, a Brazilian BBQ, a night out in the disco with lots of booze, a nice massage, some belly dancing, whatever is on your mind. And go back home at 3 am without fearing for your life. And at home there is electricity, running water and the fridge is stocked with goodies.
Try that in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil, etc. etc. etc. etc.
