Life and Travel in China

And I forgot to tell you that three days ago I met a Chinese man wearing an interesting T-shirt. I'm walking down the street, I look, a guy in a red T-shirt, a small Puma logo, and a Polish emblem on his chest, I look closer to confirm my suspicions and I see a small Polish flag on his sleeve. Excellent! The first Chinese person I've ever met wearing our national football team's shirt, a nice sight! Almost like among your own people!!!

I planned four days in the mountains, but came back after two. A village in Guangdong province, near Guangzhou. Supposedly mineral waters, hotels, mountains, hot springs, etc. Everything is about 30 km away from the town, but I didn't expect such a village. The hotel is quite poor, but the price is 150 RMB/day, no infrastructure, no decent restaurants, dirty shops, poor villages, only relatively interesting mountains and a slightly cluttered waterfall. National park - paid entry, of course, and inside there are deer trapped behind a fence (it smelled so bad there) and two islands with monkeys and peacocks (but to get there, you have to pay for the cruise again). I was more eager to see the 'free part of the mountains' than this poor park. Pathetic, and Poland is so beautiful.

I just came back from a large supermarket and one DVD cover caught my eye. Imagine that it was a Polish Old Fairy Tale. But... on the front cover there is a strange knight in armor (not from this movie at all), behind him in the background there is a blonde like Pamela (especially not from Stara Baśni), and at the bottom there is a large battlefield (also not in this movie). Żebrowski is in the corner, covered with price. On the back it's better, you can see small, red-saturated scenes from the film, everything is correct, there is Żebrowski, Olbrychski, Foremniak and Popiel, i.e. Stupka. All in all, I was happy, although maybe even the producer of this film doesn't know that you can buy copies in China?! I like the movie, maybe the Chinese will like it too!

Today I knocked on one clown's window. Damn illegal taxi, cars like small Peugeot 106s, only worse, broken and Chinese. They drive like crazy. He saw me driving and started yelling at me, because for them a cyclist or a pedestrian is trash and can't afford a car. I accelerated and knocked on his window with all my strength, so much so that the window almost fell out. The clown was getting old, he didn't know what was happening at all. Maybe next time he will think twice before risking the life of a cyclist or pedestrian.

A 12-year-old Polish girl won the competition for the best essay in Chinese, which took place in Beijing. Some time ago, the only foreigner - a Pole, became a professor of Chinese, but of course the average Pole does not know about it. Instead of rejoicing over the smaller or larger successes of our compatriots, the Polish media are busy transmitting information about the creation, or rather transformation, of our stupid government. And I have always said that someone who is interested in politics and puts any hopes in politicians is simply naive. The only thing that counts there is business, power and career!
