He was an India guy that wearing the uniform, then waking straight to me I was nervious.
Me: How much did I pay for this camera? Hum….it’s… it’s like 3 thirty thousand…?
Security guy: thirty thousand?
Me: Hum...30 hundred…
Security guy: And what’s the lens?
Me: Hum…I’m not quite sure. It’s my friends I just borrow it.
Security guy talking to the interphone: twenty four one o five
Security guy: So you want to stay here longer?
Me: Hum… I might be.
Security guy: But you are going to ( blank it or break it, he said it in India accent that I didn’t get it) you already take all the picture.
Me: No…Unless somebody talk to her.
Security guy: The…The… I mean the last bus is gone. No one come here only the bad people.
Me: Only the bad people come here after the last bus?
Security guy: Yeah…Yeah…When the station is closed and there is no bus, only the drugs. Do you want the drugs (do you know the drugs)?
Me: Nah…
Security guy: That’s the only thing is the last bus is gone.
Me: Okay, so are you asking us to leave?
Security guy: No, I’m not asking you
Me: you just advise us
Security guy: yes, advising
Me: Yeah. thank you
Security guy: Of course, actually I know about this area so I know about the streets
Me: yes, but if you holding up, just…just hold it for a while (hot water bottle) then I take a photo, just do me a fever
Security guy: you could get the picture from anyone else
Me: just not you
Security guy: I will be in the trouble or you can ask the taxi driver you happy with that?
Me: Nah… because u are the person which talk to me… I mean you talk to me first that’s not I talk to you first so that is kind of the concept of my art work
Security guy: The thing is that I will be in the trouble
Me: It’s not goanna put in the public, it’s just a assignment
Security guy: I can’t take the risk
Security guy: I’m happy if you want them I can call the taxi driver so you can get the picture
Me: How about I cover your face
Security guy: I can’t do that because there is a camera over there
Me: oh… okay
Security guy: They can see me, can’t do that
Me: So you are not allowing to take photo when you…
Security guy: On uniform (low voice)
Me: on uniform!
Security guy: Because I was p*** to know you are here.
Me: Uh?
Security guy: Our police know that you are here. That’s why they advise me to keep an eye on you because this is not a very good area
Me: Oh, they know I’m here Okey
Security guy: Because the last bus is eleven fifty five that’s gone after that only the drugs come here.
Security guy: I can call the taxi driver if you want.
Me: No, that’s all right
Security guy: What’s the different?
Me: The different is that you talk to me first it’s not I talk to you first so if I call the taxi driver that will be that I call the taxi driver first or you call the taxi driver first
Security guy: That’s all right I will wait here so …
Me: OH….okey
Security guy: just for you safety
Me: oh… sorry no …
Security guy: that’s all right that’s our job
After that I called Wei back and stop recording. We smoked two cigarette together and asking him to smoke with us but he can’t do that. We borrowed lighter from him.
And the drug I was thinking about is the drunken people, the drunk. Because of his accent, I was misunderstanding him.
I remember he asking how is my country that I didn’t give him the answer immediately, but he said: your country is flexible… just like my country, my country is flexible.
