Wednesday, October 29, 2003 In case... If the policeman showed up at my door telling me I only have 10 minutes to evacuate and abandon my home, otherwise we will die of the spread fire. Then what will we pack in the car? passport, visa, I-20 three laptops, two desktops (maybe just hard discs if we have time to take them apart) photo albums, digital camera (and recharger) and camera cellphone and recharger a lot of bottle water, some cookies Then I don't know, just anything I could grab and squeeze into the car, books and clothes mostly I guess. Bin will want all two boxes of his class notes with him. I don't think I will want any paper go with me. There is this thing called internet and all knowledge might be updated every two months. Then I realize how little we need to go on living. Maybe when we are Proletariat, we don't have too much that's hard to abnegate. Memory and works seem the only thing we could not throw away at this stage of our life. Food and telecom keep us alive. And something to identify ourselves, the strangers to this land. posted by lmeimei @2:05 PM| permanent link| | |
