"Impressionism" :)

Years ago, after a public speech an audience came up and dumped an pie in Bill Gate's face ... There is no free lunch, they say

[影云]

哈哈，哈哈。。。
我也得带地图 :)

[LTG]

还有一次, 一个中年的黑人问我:

"嗨, 我的亚洲兄弟, 中国和台湾哪个是岛屿?"

...

从那时起, 我就随身带着世界地图了... :))

[LTG]

u r soooo welcome!

true! your explanation is exactly the same as what my british friend said.She calls it simply as "jealousy". thanksssssss

[LTG]

SD: I know the pie thrower. He is a "behavioral artist"!!! :))))


you just reminded me of the meaning of a "behavior artist"....if this is true, then i think all politicians, soldiers, generals, actors, prostitues as well as strippers, of course; and preachers, auto sellspeople, gansters, crooks, liers, the crazy ones, the righteous ones, the stupid ones, etc. etc. are also "behavior artists!!"

:))))

mermaid: "...反倒是东欧国家和南美人常以负面的眼光来评价中国---有点阴暗的心理。"

among the developing countries, people are more concerned with their own lives--the basic stuff, so when they form an opinion about others, they tend to be naiive because their emotions are overridden by unbalanced realities...

the real dark side of people's attitude toward each other is when it turns into anger and hatefulness....for anger and hatefulness, such as Nationalism, can often hide one's own "dark side"...

yy & sd,

like your "impressionism"....i use this word because my "impressions" are alternative impressions, not have to be "politically correct"...:))

报歉。今天是有感而发，心里不平，上来倾诉一下。

[地中海人鱼]

一个令人不快的事实是：西欧人一般都能客观地看待中国。反倒是东欧国家和南美人常以负面的眼光来评价中国---有点阴暗的心理。

You know what, I know the pie thrower. He is a "behavioral artist"!!! :))))

FIrst impression:

Black guys eat white bread.

White bread is cheaper than black bread.

Hot dog has nothing to do with dog.

Hamburger has nothing to do with Hamburg

Chicken is cheaper than green vegetable..

Seeing

My ex-boss proudly
Wear a “I am a bitch” t-shirt
In a VIP meeting

&

Contract for thousands
Of shares of Pre IPO stocks
Turn into waste paper
And burp out a Dot COM bubble

&

An old guy working
In the warehouse
Bring me CDs of Oldies

&

An old gypsy-like woman dig
Through the trash barrel
To get her carts full of “treasure”
Her grey hair messy, and
floating in the early morning breeze

&

a cherry peddler
With a sweaty dark face
On the safe island

&

A man ask me to marry his son
Telling me that
He has four cows and five sheep
And a house somewhere
Along the river of Amazon

&

Learning Spanish
From a Mexican janitor
‘uno, dos, tres . . .
& adios, mi amigo . . .”

. . . . .

they were labeled with a REAL yellow tag when they entered into the customs . . .

[LTG]

very very very very big old sedan

with only half of head grey head

showing behind the wheel

:))

[影云]

My first impression is the faces of refugees I saw in the customs
