My friend fee wrote me this great email about his crazy adventure in germany about monkeys and fox’s and stasi (oh my!), this is all I could come up ith in return, but i wrote it so here it is.
here is something that happened last night, I was watching a dvd (dvd’s being less than a buck here I tend to do that a lot) and some of my students called me (me being an english teacher…) and wished me merry christmas, (at least I think it was my students because all the said was “merry christmas” followed by some thunderous giggles and me hanging up the phone.) When you give your mobile number out in china you have to expect random calls.
Then they call again and I don’t really feel like talking to them (seeing as I avoid social contract with them like i would a SARS ladeen bangkok brothel!). So I give my phone to my friend and he talks to them, which is basically just him telling them that he is not mee and them cackling.
After that I think it is all over but then, the student messages me and says sorry, she thought it was her teacher alf’s phone. She thought she had the wrong number. So I sms here back and inform her of the circumstances. She then gets it in her head that my friend is my gay love toy (at least that’s what I think she said) and starts asking me questions about what it is like to be gay. these messages are all in chinese, A great chance for me to practice! also there is the thrill of sending communicating with someone when you are not really sure what the hell is going on.
So we go back and forth and i tell her that gay people can be in commited relationships and the joys of male sexual bonding. In the end I had to let her down by informing her that I am not gay, though some of my closest friends are(c). I kind of wish I had told her I was gay it would be hilarious to start that rumor at our school. But in the end at least i helped add a little understanding to the world.
