California Girl

So I 'm enjoying the evening air outside the Kirey and this blonde comes up to me. She's with a dark haired guy named Ray. She introduces herself. She's just gotten to Tibet. The topic of toilets comes up.

"It's soooo gross," she says. "I mean, I brought, like, seatcovers for the toilets. But there's, like, no toilet seats."

"..."

Ray says nothing.

"I have to squat. My legs hurt."

"..."

Ray asks me for a smoke.

"Why are there so many Chinese people here? I thought this was Tibet!"

"..."

"I'm finding it really hard to like breathe here. I wonder why...?"

Ray stares at his smoke.
