Iran called.

They left a message. It reads:

“Dear Sir/Madam, we are urgently hiring for several high-level government roles. Please read our key selection criteria. Interviews will take place ASAP".

I let my train go because I’m in flow and want to write. I’m in no rush — I belong everywhere if I’m ultra-confident.”

Just saying hello like a local at the metro — sincerely — can brighten someone’s day. Here, people are proud of their heritage and language, and I feel completely welcome.

I’m not trying to be fluent — just human.

Laos is complicated.

Reserved but kind. Poor, struggling, sometimes corrupt — yet full of warmth at street level. I worried about getting sick there, but I also stayed longer because of the people.

You can feel both the potential and the weight at the same time.

Early on Don Det. Hours before the ferry to Cambodia.
So I walk.

Mekong River. Lao kids running past. Cows in the road. Motorbikes whizzing by. Bronski Beat in my headphones.

A small girl mirrors my fast walk beside me — and I realise: that’s how I look.

A simple walk with music in a new country is anything but simple.

Just landed in Don Det, Laos — and realized I’m in the 1% of travellers: slow, observant, building stories, not following the backpacker crowd. Writing flows, crypto watches, coffees by the river — I don’t need to fit in. I’m building something that lasts.

Your walk speeds up. Your brain speeds up. Your eyes dart. You merge in perfect motion — in flow, in style.

Uzbek language is opening up many cultural opportunities and perspectives I would never have had without it.

It takes a lot of energy to put yourself in a position to step into someone else’s perspective on the other side of the world — especially when the worldviews are very different.
