Well, I’m still in Arizona as I write this. I should be back in
California in 18 hours from now. I’ve got to say, going here
opened up some things in my thoughts.Firstly, when flying on the plane in clear skies with no clouds, I got
to see the world from up high. I’ve never noticed it until now,
but the world looks fake. The mountains, the sea, the rivers, the
roads, the houses, etc.. looks like some movie’s CGI effects that you
can tell is fake. It’s funny, but apparently the world is suppose
to look that way afterall.Another thing is the time difference. I guess I’ve always been
ignorant about the East, but I actually travelled one hour into the future
when I arrived in Phoenix AZ from Ontario CA. When I fly back, I’ll be
going back to the past. Pretty cool actually.Being that I’m Asian, I actually felt like a minority going into a
store. Which is odd, because in California I would not feel that way at
all. It just makes me appreciate the cultural diversity of
California even more than usual.Houses houses houses. Damn, it’s hella cheap in Arizona compared
to California houses. Sure the prices are reaching California
levels, but it’s still very much affordable to the common joe. I
swear, my generation and the generations after me got the short end of
the stick when it comes to buying houses in Cali.Lastly, the “scene” in Arizona is pretty much non-existant. There is no
real place that is as exciting to go to like the bar, club, social
scene in California. Arizona doesn’t really have any real
significant trendy places to go to. I suppose “they” might see
those places as trendy, but for us Californians it’s quite “dead.”Well, I still got many hours left over here until I come back home, and
not only that but I still have to work the graveyard shift Sunday
night. Damn, I might end up having to stay awake for 20+ hours
before I’ll get to sleep Monday morning.
