the people here say, i will remember. and they make every effort to. they fiercely guard their colonial heritage with all the linguistic and cultural baggage and they immortalize their former taskmasters with much affection and gratitude. there is gentleness and inefficiency that result when you respect your past.
this is so differemt from back east, i tell HOM. over there, our love affair sputtered to an ignominious disillusionment with the japanese occupation. we have not this engaging fondness for our sir's and mem's, although we retain a lingering obsequiousness. mostly we are brash and new and briskly vigorous. plenty of shine but we cut out the depth with independence and development.
