F*#& the Clock

T-shirts in this country often have some of the most ridiculous english sayings or slogans, and are cause for laughter or confusion. We ran across this one yesterday, and though it is absurd, laughable and completely inappropriate for public display, it works. So often the pace of life here is just a step behind what it is at home. People meander through the street, never in a straight line, oblivious to the world around them. Maybe that’s because they have the whole night ahead of them. I often finish work at 10:30pm, and there will be so many people out and about and on the street, you’d think it was a Saturday afternoon. Life doesn’t stop at sundown. My experiences with nightlife have been something of the same. There is no last call, and I’m uncertain what time the bars close.. given that I’ve left around 4 or 5 in the morning, and the party is still going strong. So, I’m doing the best to embrace this manner of life.. taking the most out of each day, without a worry or care about the constraints of time. Fuck the clock.

Nicely put, Buwalda. Couldn't have said it better myself.
