had a difficult time makes the ends of convo meet with a couple of mates
then drive thru mcds,
another foreigner (white) on bike with soft smile and eyes. asked to join to eat. he said been in taiwan only 2 days but looked as though he knew what was going on. before agreeing, I said "But I dont know what I have to offer you in conversation, as you are up here and I am down here"used my hands to indicate a wide gulf. He put on a strange look then but said, "well I have to eat somewhere" So we sat down, and I felt alot more relaxed by having put that out there. Cos now it was though I started at the bottom, and anything I said was going to make me more than what Id said. So, I held him for fifteen odd I guess. I think I kept his interest somewhat with insightful shit. But, he's travelled half the world and may be younger. I felt so insignificant next to him, as I have every time I have met seasoned travellers. But I know thats what I want to do. However, my question was whether that was a good move to put it out there. I think it was just a placebo effect, but Im not certain.....?
