Swindon
In our younger and more vulnerable days, the nearest outpost of civilization to Manila was Swindon bookstore in Hong Kong, a temple where you could inhale the scent of printer’s ink on new paper and get your brain high. First time I ever went to HK thirteen years ago, Jedi master sent me on a quest.
- To Swindon go you must.
- Where is that exactly?
- The street name I forget, but to that department store near it is.
- Um, Hong Kong is full of department stores.
- Ah! Joan Crawford it is.
- Mommy Dearest? Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
- Talking about what are you?
- You said Joan Crawford.
- Padawan not listening. Lane Crawford I meant.
