Letter to a chinese guy

08 Apr

Chinese man, I know maybe you are not agree, but for me situation is this one: you are quite (more than quite) strange.

Ok ok, can be that you think the same about me and my brothers, but you are exactly a copy of the one that I saw one minute ago, or the one that I’ll see in a minute. In the same day I see 10 times the same face, sometimes in the same moment. Allucination?

And explain-me why, for example, always you are spitting on the floor? You, your woman, and also your children? This isn’t Olympic Style for next year.

I’d like to understand, also, why in the same street there are 250 little shops selling the same meal (ah, is too much speacy) and if i try 250 Chinese Restaurants in Italy I’ll never find one. And why for buy one train ticket I have to go in a hotel and not in train station?

Ok, I understand this is nothing in the life. Your government still to be far away by democracy, and everybody can feel it also in normal life: wikipedia and some Google are not working, and foreigners can’t start business here.

Good like strange man…world is waiting for you, with your 1.200.000.000 copies!

 …e oggi giro per Tien’ammen, la piazza piu’ grande (e una delle piu’ famose) del mondo. Bella, cambiata, tirata a lucido in perfetto stile-baraccone, i carri armati hanno lasciato campo libero a piu’ semplici soldatini da fotografia.

Due canzoni per giocare con la sinestesia di immagini e suoni: Uno come noi, Nomadi, tornava in mente sulle mattonelle di Tien’ammen. Unita’ di produzione e’ invece la fotografia perfetta che Ferretti ha scattato con le parole immaginando posti come Irkustk.

    European man,
    I know, may be you don’t agree, but the situation to me is this: you are really strange.
    I realised you think the same of me and my comrades, but you are the exact copy of the one I saw 30 seconds ago or the one I’ll see in a minute…
    Allucination?
    And try to explain me why you speak so loudly and you move with so many gests. Is this the way you are training your voice and body to scream out the name of your national team at Bejing’s Olimpic games next year?
    You, your women and alsoyour children.. ?
    don’t you listen one another from 50 cm of distance?
    I’d like to understand, also, why in the same street there are 250 kind of restaurant selling the same meal: PASTA (ah, is too less spicy..).

    Ok, I understand this is nothing in the life. Your government still to be far away by autocracy, and everybody can feel it also in normal life: porno-publicity and merchandising of human values are everyday matter…
    and even children can access this…

    Good kind of strange man…world is waiting for you, with your 4.000.000.000 copies!

    scusa… ma non ho saputo resistere 😉

    and… (I was forgetting the best part..)
    what more are u asking for …if we even provide you the possibility to buy train tickets from your hotel and you don’t have to reach the station and make absurd queues… as we do in your country, just to find out that you don’t have neither a third class ticket and if someone wants to move has to pay incredible high second class tickets, where there is never the place for all my stuff and you look at me as the possible source of contagious illnesses…

    Enjoy my European friend, you are in the best country of the world, because (as far as my government insist telling me) you are in the ONLY WORTH LIVING COUNTRY…

    😀 😀

    buona continuazione amico e continua così…
    un bacio da questa kaunas innevata

    Good job.

    But just a things: in the hotel ticket it cost 3 times more. Eh! Not good, my chinese friend. Not good!

    Anyway, I’m leaving your beautiful country where I can eat 56 “spiedini” with 3 beer spending 6.2 euro!
