It's been now 5 days since I got held captive in Manhattan NY. This bustling place is just jam packed with people, cars, horses, smog, honks, and smells. Before I get too negative about NY, I thought I really need another vacation from this NY vacation.

Yet, tonight, I thought how fragile my thoughts are after watching a show called, "Mamma Mia!" I liked ABBA since when I was a kid and I knew all the songs and thought "Oh my how time flies. Now they are making musicals using songs that I actually know!"

Funnier thing is that my wife, Esther, didn't know any songs and she is only 4 years younger than me. I really wanted her to know the songs, but she insisted she didn't know. I hope she lied to me. :-)

Interesting thing I found though. Although I'm from a big city such as Seoul myself, I never realized that the city noise constantly could make my 3rd eye sitimulated to the point that I had to close my eyes and go in. Weird thing is when I was in, I found familiar feeling within me that I felt when I was a kid living in Seoul.

As the tour guide yapped away about some real estate in Manhattan, I found familiar place within me in a totally and seemingly uninviting place for me such as NY. It was pleasant at the same time tense. In any case, I do need a vacation from NY. :-) 4/10/08 -Molado
