List of countries


oh, sorry i forgot t tell you, we don't use fighting anymore


why not?


i don't know, people just stop using some words and phrases over time so that new ones can take their place


can i still use ftw


i don't think think so, they wouldn't know what you mean


kind of like quoting monty phyton?


yeah, something like that, wait, how long have you been off the internet?


i don't know, a few years, i remember when i was using it last time people were making fun of justin beaver a lot, i didn't know who he was, but his name kept popping up, so i looked up a song and it was somehow catchy 'one less lonely girl' do you know it?


i don't think I do, and i don't think they are making fun of him anymore, i think he may be an adult now


can i say call me maybe?


i'm not sure


oh yeah, i got that list you asked for the other day


which one?


list of countries you've been to


oh yeah


i realized it wouldn't be possible to check out the passports because i had to take out too many stamps over the years to make way for new ones, and threw them away, that's how i managed to run out pages last year for the first time, and also it'd be kind of a show off to list every single country, the exact number it's something people should keep to themselves, something private, kind of like the number of sexual partners they had


well, actually saying you wont do something because you'd be showing off, sounds like an even worse way of showing off, but anyway you've got a point and it's somehow interesting so keep going


so i figured the easiest way would it be to list the countries i've spent more than 6 months at or in (I'm not sure which one to use, at or in?)


yeah, that makes sense, no one cares about a place you just spent a few weeks at (or is it in?), many people travel for a few days or weeks


exactly, well anyway, i figured i should make one every 10 years, it may probably also help people have some kind of chronological guide into all the previous posts, so here's the list

2005-buenos aires
2006-barcelona
2007-berlin
2008-india
2009- thailand-china
2010-china-japan
2011-australia-korea
2012-korea-taiwan
2013-new zealand
2014-china
2015-china-present


nice, and now what?


nothing i don't know, oh wait, yes i know, now here is the list for the next 10 years, it's probably not going to go this way at all but if someone were to ask me to make a plan for the next 10 years from now, a plan i should stick up to no mater what, this one would be it

2015-china
2016- travel in south america
2017-travel in central america
2018-canada
2019-italy
2020-iran
2021 travel in africa
2022-russia
2023-pacific islands
2024-japan
2025-korea


you are 30 now in 2015, so it seems like a good plan to make the list every 10 years that's every decade of Bruno's age


Bruce's age


right, Bruce's age, so if you go to all those places in the next 10 years what about your dog?


that's the reason I'm still in China, because I love her too much and can't leave her here by herself, i know if I ever leave China and have to say goodbye to her it will be the hardest thing I'd ever done


i guess you'll have to stay in china then


that's the only way


here's when you point to the unfairness of chinese political system and society, how all the countries are terrible because they don't let you travel with your dog and china also doesn't let you stay here forever so sooner or later you will have to say good by to her, you're just postponing the inevitable


my freedoms have been taken away a while ago by governments and their immigration policies, but I'm still better off than most people, i have a job and a salary at the end of the month, i have a nice cozy room with a bed to sleep at night, hot shower, plenty of food, people who understand me and accept me how I am and a dog who loves me unconditionally, what else could I ask for?


you could ask for internet


i have internet


yes, you have a few chinese websites that you have somehow manage how to operate but how about facebook, google, gmail, youtube, 4chan, cracked, you don't miss them?


of course i do, but they also took too much of my time, this holidays i climbed the mountain a few times, i went hiking, i played football with my students, i walked around the lake a few more times, i got to catch up with many people, i wrote here, i got to clean and look after all the turtles, hamsters and rabbits i have, spent time with dog i went out with my CS guests and had many beers with them and I still had some time left to play some games and read, if i had had internet i may not have done many of those things, so if i had to choose between facebook or checking emails and my dog, i'd choose dog every single time, i know i have given up on all the people i have ever met in my life, without gmail or facebook there's no way to get in touch with them, but the dog's still worth it, I'll just meet new people in the future


that's actually very sweet, a side of you i hadn't seen before and i didn't know you had


I didn't know i had it either, anyway, looks like that's it for today


yeah, it was fun, lets do it more often


sure thing
