25 years ago the Western empire snubbed me. They were powerful they looked hard and almost unstoppable, they were prosperous and strong.
I Marched like a soldier in the other direction against all the surf and tides.
Then I was seen as mad and trying to think the impossible could happen.
Today no one is laughing.
However the new empire is not the old one but they have snubbed me.
March I shall.
I can't go West I can't go East.
But then again China is not India.
China is not Africa.
China is not South America.
And I am perceived as a white westerner an outsider yet again.
I must be mad to think I can march in that direction.
But march I shall.
Just like 20 years ago China and their new empire are strong, prosperous and powerful and this new journey of mine will be hard and also China is not the old Western one so this course will be different and near impossible yet again. Just like 20 years ago it is in my view unnecessary but attack me they do.
So march I will.
