| Beer vending machine~ |
One day I was walking around the dormitory looking for vending machine. I went to the one that I had never gone to, hoping to get other choices of drink. Okay, something different.. didn't expect though, it was 'Beer', about 4%..
Before coming here, I had never drunk more than one cup or one can at a time, just a few sips occasionally for testing the taste. How much I have drunk in less 2 years here has far exceeded the summation of all sips that I happened to take in about 25 years. So, it has been record-breaking! Now I can take one or few cups of beer in an outing, and occasionally drink wine or mixed one. I even have a chance to experience a mild drunken effect, an unknown phenomenon to me at first time, mmm... dizzy but relaxing somehow, and just want to sleep. Then, a good sleep I had~
One more month left, I have cut down on drinking since it isn't a habit that I would like to preserve. We know drinking has no all healthy, also no all bad, doesn't mean fine either, but people drink in a scary amount and frequency! Several reasons: celebration (why not drinking water?), releasing tension (too much does not), culture (you drink I drink).. As for me, I insist to drink a little, but no sipping. So, I put some coins into the vending machine, had one can, then found myself a little poetic, reciting..
..after that, slept through the snowing night~
" 抽刀断水水更流，举杯销愁愁更愁。
人生在世不称意，明朝散发弄扁舟。"
