I've been listening to a Chinese radio station on the AM dial. I think it's Chinese. It could be Korean. Although sometimes it sounds like Japanese. I don't mean any offense, but I just can't figure it out.
I got bored listening to my regular radio stations. And when you're bored, it just means you're boring. So I mixed it up a bit. I was looking for a Mexican radio station, but I kept finding Asian stations. I finally gave in to one and left it there.
Now when I get into my car the Chinese station comes on and I'm interested. Oh yeah- the Chinese station. I forgot about that. I'll wonder what the heck they're saying. And what language they're speaking. It's stimulating. And it stimulates others too. When I come to a stop light I notice people looking at me funny. They look confused. I can tell they just want things to be seamless and simple. I'm challenging that in some way by what I'm listening to.
But I don't care. I'm just trying to grow. I want to feel and hear another culture and learn something new. The problem is I'm not learning anything new, because I have no idea what they're saying. I found myself getting frustrated. I thought about changing the station, but something told me not to.
Then the other day, I heard music I'd never heard before, and I knew why I had to stay the course. Chinese rap. It was so good.
