Shenzhen was the first big city I lived in. Before I arrived I’d only lived in much smaller places. Zamora was the biggest and nowhere near the size of Shenzhen

"I close my eyes to rest and my world is just spinning. I feel trapped here, and that's why I'm leaving anyway."

5:30am. Delirious. Sirens on the street. A heavy vibe pressing in. I need somewhere cheap, near street food, out of the centre. Otherwise the vultures will pick my bones dry.

I’m tired and delirious.

This week we’ve got some photos from when I first got to Shenzhen way back in 2015

The regular pose version of this photo with a Sun Wukong (aka the Monkey King) cosplayer is over on @myriadmisadventures but I had to post this one doing one of the Monkey King’s poses too. I almost fell over a bunch of times trying to take it but it was worth it. Photo by Max

Sun Wukong, from Journey to the West, is a really cool character so I had to grab a photo with this cosplayer when I saw him. After I got my photos another Monkey King cosplayer came over which made it even cooler. I also tried to do one of the Monkey King’s poses. That photo with this cosplayer is over on @[email protected] Photo by Max

You can’t go to a convention without taking pictures. So I took pictures. Including this one in Luffy’s Elbaph gear at the Toei Animation booth. Photo by Max
