Cunning Nowhere

In the south of China, I have learned to speak the Hokkien dialect. As I am a red(well, pale yellow)-haired barbarian, I cannot adequately reproduce the sounds of a famous profanity. But I have taken it as my own. You need to use your imagination, my dear Hokkien friends. Guds hjælp, Folkets kærlighed, Danmarks styrke, Kynings havn.

apology

You know, I am being honest with you. I have been so busy, so very busy. I cannot teach well and I cannot sleep well. So it is a good thing I am leaving soon. It is good for you all, and I thank you that you have been such good friends and colleagues and students. My adventure in this place is over.

But you will always always have a good place in my heart, and I hope that you will not too badly have thought of me. I am thankful to Kapten Hokk and Major Anonym and the Alchemist. They are the ones who are keeping me sane for many days here. When I am left from this place, always remember, my friends, "Guds hjælp, Folkets kærlighed, Danmarks styrke, Kynings havn!"
