Fight or Flight

After spending 24hrs in transit, the mind is a little cloudy. Sleeping on a plane is always interesting, but I tell you what, the only upside of having insomnia is that jet lag is not such a big deal. It just feels like another day of limited rest. I am excited to hear the sonic difference of Paris. The trains, cars, bells, and people, I can't wait to walk around with my camera and sound recorder. I am also excited to navigate the language barrier. How can we find ways to communicate with each other? How does it feel to be an outsider? How can I be friendly and respectful without being able to talk? How does it feel to be afraid to talk? How does this change our listening?

Listen.
