And there it was the sky... it was
difficult to realize since the colour was so unusual, however all the
immense buildings where pointing in that direction. My body was in the
water and my mind was flying away in time. How did I manage to arrive
here? When did it happen? Why? (...)Definitely too many questions. And
all of the sudden it was just me and the sound of my breathing in the
water.
Heraclitus said (thank you Mr. Pepe) “No (wo)man ever steps in the same river twice”
and we have all heard people say that there is a first time for
everything; this whole experience is going to be about that, about
exercising the capacity of amusement, and I want to enjoy everything as
if it were the first time, because it will be!
Kuala
Lumpur is a melting pot, a place of differences: skyscrapers are just
next to slums; it is a place where you use your fingerprint to access
the office and in which it is cheaper to eat a full menu than to buy
some yogurt in the shop. A place where the cutest little Chinese girls
you can imagine look at your eyes and they tell you how big they are! In
the streets, especially at market places, everybody calls you “my
friend”! It is a place where you can meet a Cuban DJ, Iranian hipster
guys and a French scientist in the same night... I don’t know how was “La Grande Babylon” but to me this should not be far from it!
