Global Citizens
Take a moment to think. This is pretty amazing. I am sitting in an Island of the coast of Hong Kong, over looking the South China Sea into Macau in a house with someone who’s father is Srilankan, his mother is Chinese, and grew up in Hong Kong, and a guy who is from England, who lives here now but before lived all over Europe and a New Zealander, who lives in Australia, Taiwan, China, and a girl who is English but moved back to Hong Kong after university after growing up here. And there is me, a strange mixture of New Zealand Culture, California Counter Culture, and of Chinese decent, where when it comes to a lot of things I am just so much just that.
Then here I am at my friend’s house, typing away on software designed and hosted in the US and all this information then is for all of you to access around the world. Some of you are in the US, some of you are in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, whereever etc. And it’s all connected. I can talk to you right now, in my own way. And everyone who has the right technology is only a click and phone call away. This is Post Modernism.
We can be anything we want, as long as we are given the same oppotunities…
