displacement amidst chinatown

so i took a walk through chindatown last night, thinking to catch a glimpse of the crowd, take a dip into the hype surrounding the building up of excitment over CNY, and perhaps just grab a good bargain or so...

still all i saw was a lot of people (at least i got to see my crowd), not many bargains ($10 for 3 small itsy bitsy containers of goodies do not count) and no involvement in the pieces of life within.

is it just me? but walking through the throngs of bodies, i actually felt colder as a person moving through them. like it didn't matter that they were actual, solid, living human beings but just obstacles and barriers to where i was heading to (which again wasn't anywhere; i was drifting).

*ponder*
