Goodbye England, you strange old place!
One half of me idealizes you as a tourist might, the other derides you as Betjeman did Slough. I don’t care for dull memories of your tired streets and vulgar masses, but I won’t let my view of you slip idly into the romantic or, for that matter, the dystopian and so I’ve created two galleries on flickr: one of fondess and the other of loathing to counter each emotion.
For anyone reading my odd ramblings to my home country, please feel free to view these galleries by clicking on the links above. This was a last minute idea – so really just a spontaneous look at two sides of England with the photos I have available to me (I don’t have many).
Lucky me-to be the first to comment.
Just wanna say “离别是为了再相见”
Regarding this country, which is in your eyes of ‘old strange place’, I have unconsciously fallen in love with it, not at the first sight though.
Tired streets and vulgar masses, I must admit, will not be missed! Spot on my friend. We might expect to fall in love with Asia as a Chinese falls in love with England. People see wonder in that which is alien to them.
