When Does A Ringworm Heal

I be without identity "legal"

- A) I have my ID expired. I realized when I started to compile my contract documentation for English and moving more. I request electronic appointment and hopefully in a month and a half will be

attended

- B) I have my driver's license expired. It is currently under renovation but I have no steering wheel or proof, and only a letter from the consulate to me that Madrid have sent all the papers.

- C) I discharged at the consulate in Beijing, which not belong here or there. On arrival at Madrid I go to register.

- D) I do not know what my homestead in the coming years.

As modern life requires me, when I get to Madriz I have to do urgent processing of A) and C), although it will be an address provisional. Posteriormente, cuando me acomode en mi futura casa hoy desconocida y si quisiera cumplir con la ley, debería comenzar de nuevo con ambos procesos para dar mi dirección permanente. Y además, si en algún momento vital cambio de estado civil, al menos el procedimiento C) debería hacerse una vez más.

Pues eso, que ahora mismo soy un cuasi ser.

Recuerdo la película de Brazil, de Terry Gilliam. Me encuentro en un no parar de ir y venir a las distintas ventanillas gubernamentales, en un enfrentamiento diario con la burocracia, "la jaula de hierro", el Red Tape . En mi correo tengo una carpeta que así se llama, Red Tape expression in English to refer to the wonderful world of negotiations and proceedings. Red Tape lately is on top of entries.

Meanwhile constantly filling forms for requests for appointment and as many papers to move my goods travel by sea for a month. Right now I am with the syndrome are not home, and I have the permanent impulse buy all sorts of household goods. If I have no home at least I have the objects that compose it. Content continent.

To the delight of myself, my current home (the beloved hutong) has been visited by potential tenants about five times this weekend, tired already act as real estate consultant. Always the same questions:

- And how is living in a hutong?

Answer: it's not bad. Has its advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on what you are looking

What I would like to say but do not say what kind of question is that? Did not you who comes to see him? Is it because you care and you know what is right? Well, see, live at ground level, grassland heating costs, residents throw garbage on the street, at night there are vermin that scratch the roof, my fear of spiders has disappeared by repeated shock therapy, the bathroom is wet ... But me and my boyfriend we like, because it compensates the morning sun coming through the window, because we love the dogs in the neighborhood because the area is quiet and is in the geographical center of Beijing, because we are geeks, because we like to have a tele-Cretaceous, and because we do not care which within a radius of five kilometers is impossible to find bread, cheese or tomato sauce.

- How long have you lived here?

Answer: one year but in Beijing three years-plus.

- What do you live alone?

Answer: yes now. My boyfriend has been gone for two weeks because you've encountered a sudden. (Given the response I often see eyes in disbelief, I sense that people think I have invented an imaginary boyfriend to not recognize my loneliness and give no penalty in the hutong).

- And what is the nearest metro?
Answer: Andingmen a 15 minute walk or Beixingqiao another fifteen minutes.

And then, once satisfied his desire to know they go through the door wondering if life in the hutong their bodies would be suitable for the highlands. Because if you are looking for a gym and a swimming pool in the neighborhood are ready ...

stress I have, yes.
