Second day in Dalian. I walked into a seaside cafe and ordered a coffee. It was a sunny day with the sea breeze drifting through the windows. I was feeling restless and I didn’t know why. I walked around the cafe and browsed their rock band post cards. And as vivid as a dawn break, I remember seeing a postcard of Bono holding a microphone in a concert. In that moment, I discovered U2. Not in Singapore where I lived most of my life. Not in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta or Manila. Not in Frankfurt, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam or Rome. Neither in Shanghai nor in Beijing. But in this small city of Dalian. Totally unbelievable.
