Randomly roaming around I come upon a celebration of sorts – the best kind of travel is unplanned in my opinion. Large menacing mask, children swarming all around. Looks like they are picking up candy. He looks unapproachable depending on what side of him you are on. You can get on his good side – behind him and feel protected by those big, sharp teeth. You can get on his bad side – in front and feel scared of those same big,sharp teeth. Can’t help but wonder what’s his story? Those little skulls on his head are cute. I don’t ask because I’m too shy and unwilling to struggle with the awkwardness of unknown language, of meeting a new human in a foreign land. What’s that thing sticking out of his mouth? He looks like he’s smoking a joint he doesn’t like. I chuckle to myself. I guess I’ll never know… I keep walking – avoiding eye contact. Maybe I will look back on the picture I took of him later and wish that I had asked a fellow human.
