wave effect again

The wave effect. On the way to Isle of Arran. The glossy waves makes you feel that we are in a studio, infact it is on the ferry and i think is picture perfect.
My trip to the Isle of arran was good but marred by a wee (I would like to down play this) incident where in all the six of "us" 'Pakis' could have landed up in the hospital with bodily mayhem and knives or bottles sticking out from us. The xenophobic racist attack on us was not the crazy part of the ordeal, but amazed me was how group dynamics worked during that one and half hours. When the tempers flare and reproaching others, trying to get yourself heard is a indeed a difficult thing. Keeping quiet was infact the best thing to do. I dont think that is the way the group dyamics has to work. Being calm, having the presense of mind to deal with problems always disappears during crisis such as the one we had. I have seen this happen in more than one occasion. But I am glad, that we could flag cops down and escort us to our hostel, safely.
Ho, yea other thing to add, my deja vus scare me. They happen way too frequently.
