been away for 4 days #OfflineHoliday.
48 hours of #isolation, 48 hours of #NoInternet.
it's really a peaceful, relaxing and refreshing new style holiday.
1. 48 hours of #isolation.
-limited space in bedroom, alone.
no electricity, no electronic devices.
-mantou (馒头, or bread with no taste) only to eat, purified water only to drink.
-curtains closed, windows closed, just natural lights and natural sounds within the room.
-minimum external stimulus available, books, toys, any things playable.
-just me alone with the ambience, with my thoughts and mind.
-slept for 18 hours in first 24 hours, randomly dreamt a lot, ate and drank a little, felt really relaxed.
-70% time thinking about #Bitcoin, #nostr, freedom, individual sovereignty etc in second 24 hours.
-rest of time contemplated on my life and wandered in my mind palace.
-wanted to say i miss you to many long lost friends.
2. 48 hours of #NoInternet
-all electronic devices off.
-travelled and visited friends without cell phones.
-pay subway, bus, dinings, convenient stores with cash only.
-made some bulk purchases with a solid credit card.
-felt #privacy when paying with cash, no big brother gathering every transaction about where we went, bought what, ate what etc.
-me and gf talked a lot when there’s no cell phones to stare at. we shared many old funny memories.
-we observed people in public places, it’s interesting to observe how infants interacts with surroundings, how couples show intimacy, how clerks and customers talk etc.
