I was going to order coffee downstairs.
Met a couple, Cindy and Fab, when they were trying to order. They are in their 60s and on their 4-month vacation. They used to work in Indiana and now live in Florida.
I just realized how lovely these random conversations can be. I feel I used to have a lot of these (I might have exaggerated here) back in the states, but rarely so in China.
Maybe it’s about me.
Maybe I feel the expected outcome from random conversations is less interesting here in China, so I wasn’t intrigued to welcome one.
Maybe my attitude to life has changed a bit – I became less exploratory and want more certainty. This could be due to the distaste of negative randomness in stock market – I was exposed to a lot of it in work and in personal investing.
However, those are temporary, if anything. I felt the impulse again and that’s nothing different from what I could feel years back.
