Life and Travel in China
A personal journal with stories, travel experiences, funny situations and everyday life in China
In Poland there are holidays and holidays, and in China everyone works. Most people don't have any holidays at all, and many don't take them either because they're afraid of losing their job or having a lot of backlogs at the office. There are no holidays in factories. And the children? Most of them take additional classes (English, piano, tutoring and preparation for exams). In the middle country, no one is idle! Most people don't have time to rest, and that's probably why China is developing so much, and Poland isn't... Here, you can relax, even at work.
China and relations with other countries... It is the year of Russian culture in the Middle East, a joint expedition of journalists and politicians through China and Russia, this is not surprising, but... An exhibition in Beijing devoted to Swedish-Chinese friendship. A meeting is underway with students from France who came to the country to exchange with their peers from China. And Poland? What is Poland doing to maintain good relations with the world's greatest power? Well, after Kwaśniewski buried one tree in 1997, then Lepper visited the Great Wall of China, and nothing has happened since then. Of course, there are some forms of cooperation and exchange, but they mean nothing to China, because Poland is not mentioned at all in the local media. At all!!!
I suspect that some fake Puma T-shirts were leaked from the factory in China, because why would Puma promote the Polish national team's T-shirts in the country? Today I met a boy and a girl on the subway and he was wearing a Puma T-shirt, white and red, with the emblem and the inscription POLAND on the chest. He passed by me and I said "Poland, Poland" and pointed to the T-shirt. He got scared and left. I added in Chinese that I was from Poland. After two minutes, they realized what was going on and started analyzing what was on his shirt. The guy probably didn't know that it was an emblem and that there was such a country as Poland (it said Poland, not Poland). Actually, I scared him, but maybe he'll learn something from the fact that he has a Polish national team shirt, because he probably thought he had a red and white T-shirt with a cool eagle logo!
One friend told me today that when his wife found out that she was pregnant and that a daughter would be born again, she immediately wanted to have an abortion, the reason being because they already have a daughter. What kind of sick nation is this? In general, China already has an excess of men due to such stupid thinking. I wonder where they are supposed to look for wives, or maybe homosexuality will spread? Fortunately, this friend stopped her and she now has two beloved daughters. When will they realize that the days of working in the fields and the war with Japan are over and they already have enough peasants?! In fact, it is the service industry: hotels, restaurants, discos, KTV, and various supermarkets mostly employ girls. However, something is wrong in their worldview and for them the daughter is too weak, causes problems, cannot support her parents in their old age and may become pregnant. This means that women are always in trouble!
I was recently in a factory with air conditioning, it was 35 degrees outside and about 22 degrees in the production hall. Everything is slowly changing for the better in China. Of course, there are still many poor, small factories where workers work in terrible conditions, but those that are developing care more and more about their skilled workers. I assure you that in Poland people sometimes work in worse conditions.
