My Nights’ life:

As these days I am stuck in Tehran and no ways to download the rest T.V series which I and Wijbren used to watch back in China, so far I have to live on what I do have left.
I am finished with Friday Nights and Breaking Bad which both were great stories, despite some facts that I am not fan of Breaking Bad T.V series, but in total I will follow those whenever can hook up with fast internet.
Anyhow, about The Wire the only T.V series left to see; I could say:

The Wire is one of those investigation’s stories, which happened in dark, gloomy part of a city in America where the population of blacks is approximately 60%.
An action, detective story is set on through few seasons, but the most eye- catching part is looking in a sarcastic way to the police department and put the entire system under a big question mark.

The story starts showing a gang of blacks who live on selling drugs and drug trafficking is a big chance in their lives in order to survive, from kids at young as age 10 are involved as small drug dealers up too women and basically the whole community there have to be somehow dealing with drugs. The thing which amazing in this programmed is the number of players are extravagantly enormous and the scenes that director has chosen are somehow limited but artistically designed to draw the attention in each separate episodes.
In each episode, expressing the police community, expanding in this issue and including each staff personal issues and work issues are tied upon the other hand, gangs in comparison to the deputy of police has a great, organized team. In fact there are two or three groups of drug dears and smugglers who are opponents and trying to keep their own corners in each part of the city and having a incompatible competition one against another.Even though will all this mess there is hardly clues for police to keep on and get to the top ones to cut their line permanently.

Actually, I do enjoy watching Wire and I do recommend it to who are loving detectives, action movies which are based on true storeis.Truly, there are couple of great actors in the movie which embellish it smoothly a deep you sited on the chair till end.

Experience of visiting a remote village, where you are simply not welcomed:

There are a lot of villages which are located in a remote areas totally isolated from cities. A lot of tourist assume that visiting villages specially he ones which are pure, is a great unmemorable experience, but in fact we shouldn’t be that much sure about it.

Honestly, I did love and went to so many villages in Europe and in China, Nepal and some other East Asian countries; it was not spectacular in some ways, but in my point of view, I did enjoy staying here and there shortly; as if to discover a bit more about their life style. To me I had never had chances to be close to nature by all means, living there permanently.

Anyhow, back to the story as I was saying, this village was located in South vest of China, somewhere that women traditionally never cut their hair. My first impression from there was great though, lovely nature so green and stream around and bamboos anywhere and everywhere, but the story didn’t end like this; when I was cycling through small path leading me towards wood, after a while I lost my way and tried to ask for help, people were hopelessly cold and indifferent and when I got into the stream and wanted to getting the boat to go to another path on the other side, I felt I am alone and they are interested in helping. Their dark look and peering at you and glaring is express of not happy to see a  stranger around.

Anyhow somehow I sorted out by cycling back and get the last crappy bus to get out of that place, because if it would have stayed at night, I am sure I couldn’t easily find a bed to sleep in or they would have ripped me off.
