Have you ever had a feeling that sometimes you are in a temporarily chaotic situation that you don't know which city are you in any more?
We went to a Thai restaurant at night. I was sitting by the table listening to the chat by other American fellows. Jetlags, kangaroo meat, Australian wild fire and graduate schools were some of the hot topics. I noticed another four or five Chinese people sitting near by us, talking in Chinese, reminded me of the time in China. The moment they walked out, I was caught by a familiar Thai melody I heard not too long ago. I had a glimpse outside the window. The street was getting cold and dark with very few people on it, shops with neons still flashing, I was wondering for a second or two, where the heck am I?
BTW, the picture was taken tonight when we sneaked to the War Memorial Museum in Canberra. We heard the rumor about kangaroos gathering there at night, and it is true!
