感覺-香港 美國 澳洲 Feel

A trilogy of personal documentary about my experiences and feelings about the places I have lived in.

For English title, I am not sure. The first word came up was "feeling", then "feel", then esthesia, aesthesia, aesthesis, esthesis and impressure.


感覺-香港

Images of places I grew up in. For example for Hong Kong. This is the place where I lived in when I was born. The thing about Hong Kong is that everything, the landscape changes every once in a while and often you don't get to revisit some of the places of your childhood. City One is somewhat of an exception. I lived there. Yeah, I went to this school. I still remember my first grade teacher's name. She was about late 50s or 60s when I was there.

This the one of the rare case, the tea restaurant I went to usually for breakfast is still here after some 20 or more years. This sport store is still here. Pretty amazing.

It's funny coming back, living here. I am, in a general sense, not accepted as a Hong Konger now, although part my heart is here. I care about Hong Kong's democracy movement, education system, our mini constitution that guarantee our rights and freedom of expression that separates us from the rest of China. One time I was in Mongkok and I prided myself on my fluent Cantonese and I would try to be local but people can tell, especially in places like Tai Po or Mongkok. I reckoned that I might get a better bargain if I act local but after the purchase, they asked me, "So where are you from?" It was a bit of a shocker. I thought I did quite good. And I would tell them I came back from America. I often skip the Australia part because it might get a little complicated and confusing, and it doesn't really matter to them.

I think it's also my body movement, clothes I wear, hairstyle and body language as well. I also don't look too Chinese, at least not the stereotypical Chinese look. I got Korean, Malaysian, Japanese, Indonesian and etc. But as far as I know, I am 100% Chinese. It might has to do with the curly hair I inherited from my mom side.

"Home is where love is."

An old friend once told me, "Home is where love is."

So I was thinking of a phrase, perhaps a title for a possible movie-Where the Home Is, Where Home Is, Where Love is, Where the Love is.

I thought of a story about, my head is tire...time for shower.

New Ending for Proto

Proto unlock the lock, turn the door nob and goes into the apartment. Looks around. Then the door open with a woman and a man. Proto is startled.

Confrontation.


Julie, "What are you doing here?"
