bollywood resort
i dreamed this morning that i was riding around a small town that i was visiting with a guy who was gushing on about how interesting i was. "no matter what happens, you're interesting.. it's been a long time since i've met someone like you..." and i could tell that he was crushing on me (because in my dream reality, being interesting is the only requirement for being attractive. ha!!) then i realized that the guy was david, the man who runs the car show in roswell, and i felt like, "ew."
then he was driving us somewhere. i think we were in myrtle beach, though it didn't look at all like the real myrtle beach. it was very rural. we started passing some billboards that appeared to have been hand-painted, in bright colors, with lots of hindi text. the first one we saw was advertising a bollywood film festival. i thought, "i need to get a picture of that-- sarah and georg will flip out!!!" then there were more and more hindi billboards, then finally we passed what appeared to be a resort populated entirely by people from southeast asia.
there was a fabulous, bright green lawn dotted with many sunbathers, mostly women in beautiful, bright colors. i desperately wanted to get a picture, it was such a lovely sight. the david-guy and i went for a picnic, and then i wandered off back to the resort to try and get pictures. i got stuck inside, and found myself talking to a little boy. he looked indian, but said he lived in china. i asked him what town he lived in, and he said, "harrisville" (or something like that). i pondered for a moment the unlikeliness of a chinese town being named harrisville, then asked him what province that was in. he couldn't think of the province name.
then i realized it was dark, and i was unhappy because my chance to take pictures was gone.
