Lera Boroditsky writes that instead of employing such terms as “right,” “left,” “forward” and “back,” which are relative to an observer, many Indigenous people of Australia will exclusively use cardinal directions — north, south, east or west. To speak properly, one must stay oriented at all times. The correct response to a normal greeting — “Where are you going?” — is something like “South-southeast, in the middle distance,” but if you don’t know which way you’re facing, you can’t even get past “Hello.”

On a grey 5th of November of 2021, it was like a parade of handsome men. On a table just outside the pizzeria, I was munching on pizza, whilst a brown vendor at the market beyond was sorting fruits outside and greeting passersby. In the cafe, I was drinking my iced green tea. A muscular young man in a white shirt and blue jeans passed back and forth. Later, a muscular young man in a white shirt with grey pants sat at the far table near the washroom. Then walking back by the pizzeria, I saw a dark chunky man standing, talking to an older man.

Still trying to keep my day simple in the afternoon of the 26th of February of 2022, I headed to the pizzeria, and on the way were my Greek Cypriot neighbours Nikki the mother and George the son, who just recently took up smoking. I said that he could have taken up some other "habits." Then the conversation switched to the topic of Mexican cuisine and its hidden variety. I had pizza and diet black soda at the pizzeria, where there were some South Asians, as clients and vendor, as well as a Cockney-accented white man. Heading home, I saw Michael, who was from Francophone New Brunswick, as he smoked and promenaded on the sidewalk. He bowed to me, as I approached. I then showed him the Thai bowing greeting with pressed palms and said in Thai, "Sawatdee khrap!" Michael repeated it. He then said, "There are all sorts of cultures in the planet, eh?" Just then, two Sikhs walked by, one in black turban, the other in pink.

It's the 10th of August of 2025, here on Lulu Island. Just before midnight, I eat a yellow-green apple, whilst reserving the salty sushi-chorizo rice with nori sheets and bitter-melon mung-bean soup in the refrigerator for my morning meal, later. These recent days have been uncomfortable for me due to a bad cold: How anachronistic for such blue-sky sunny days! At Tim Hortons café, I have been joking with Michael the ufologist about Trekker things such as the "Live Long and Prosper!" Vulcan greeting, the Romulan greeting "Jolan tru!" for "May your day be filled with peace!" and the Klingon greeting "nuqneH?" for "What do you want?" Michael liked The Original Series, but none of the new ones, unlike I. He watched also movies with Shatner and Nimoy. Michael doesn't read sci-fi, but pseudoscience about UFOs. He's like my other friend Bratislav who looks for reality in UFOs. I, on the other hand, accept that sci-fi is irreality for understanding reality. Sci-fi in various languages is what I read and watch. I'm still agnostic about UFOs.
