Shanghai Life 2

Buying 2 or 3 bottles of beer and a 4 litter bottle of water became everyday routine. I feel it bothersome. Besides that there is always a fear in my mind. I always think of an emergency case. I imagine the case that I can’t go to buy water. One day I came up with the idea that I would freeze water with a small plastic bottle of water. Whenever I get 500ml plastic bottles or 600 ml plastic bottles I freeze water in those. And now I have 5 or 6 bottles water in the freezer.

Yesterday an emergency case happened with me. I caught a cold. I guess I caught virus of a cold because of hard work and luck of sleep. I couldn’t go out of the bed. I couldn’t go shopping. So I tried to melt frozen water by sprinkling hot water from a tap on the bottle. Then one thought occurred to me that it was waste of time. It was better that I just put a frozen bottle on my head. It is “to kill two birds with one stone”. And then I wrapped the bottle with a towel and tried to put it on my head.



I burst out laughing in spite of myself. That’s because it reminded me of one movie. “American Splendor”!!! One scene came across my mind that I am staying in bed and sheets wrapped my body. My eyes open widely but they are hollow. And there is a thermometer in my mouth. A plastic frozen bottle stands on my forehead.



The Caption is this.

“The Life is so ridiculous!!!”



This is my life in Shanghai.
