In the End

These days some are starting to invest in senior living centers. Simply because people live longer, kids become less loyal!

In one of the meetings of a senior housing project, one of the managers of these centers who has been hired as a consultant for this project looks at me and says, "Try to come up with as much as entertainment spaces as possible, such as bars, bowling, movie theaters, coffee shops" and continues, "If you don't, their kids and family won't come and visit them."

I look down to hide my wondering eyes and scribble something on my notepad.
He emphasizes, "No, I mean it! They won't!".

I tell myself, in my culture you don't put your parents in a warehouse just because they are old!


Strength

Sometimes you feel weak, not because you are weak, but just because the routes that you pick are not the easy ones.

Rules

They say belly dancing has one thousand rules. But they also say a professional belly dancer is the one who breaks all the rules and just goes by the moment.
