Life and Travel in China
A personal journal with stories, travel experiences, funny situations and everyday life in China
Recently, a Pole stated in China that the system works very well here. Everyone has a job and therefore has a job. Workers carry stones in carriers on construction sites, cleaners walk the streets and squares, in pharmacies there are staff at every shelf, and every building has security guards. This nation has work, produces, invents, creates, builds, cleans, cleans, washes, renovates, constructs, repairs, and maintains order. There is simply no shortage of work for anyone, because when a person has nothing to do, he sits and invents. He doesn't like the government, he could go on strike, maybe they could give him a raise, maybe he could get fired from his job?! People are bored and have stupid ideas and are not productive.
I'm not really excited about the Euro championships in Poland. The news seems funny to me: stadiums, a second metro line, highways, hotels, new railway lines. After all, every European country (not to mention China) has such infrastructure on a daily basis. It's nice that something will change in Poland, but it should change under normal conditions, not only during special events. And soon it will turn out that they will employ Chinese workers to build the stadiums to make it cheaper and faster.
I have known for some time that there is a shortage of pilots in China, and they already employ pilots from abroad, and they also tried with Poles at Shenzhen Airlines. It turns out that they have to employ 12,000 pilots within 6 years. I'm just worried that due to the lack of employees, they will start hiring anyone they can. Including some untrained pilots, foreigners, retirees who, instead of safe piloting, will only think about stunts and fun. In fact, I found out about it myself when landing with a white pilot in Shenzhen. In perfect weather conditions, he hit the plane so hard on the runway that the wings bent during this strange and sudden landing.
Since yesterday I am the owner of the domain www.fotochiny.com! I want to promote my photos even more and reach more people interested in the Middle Kingdom. Based on the number of visits and the number of photos opened per day, I see that overall interest in photos from China is growing.
Today I experienced what acupuncture is. Where, if anywhere, but in China it's a common thing. Due to knee pain from excessive cycling, I decided to use 'needles'. The entire procedure in the hospital lasted 30 minutes and cost PLN 25. Without hesitation, the doctor inserted four needles around my knee. She connected electrodes to two of them, which sent light impulses (a strange feeling). The two remaining needles were equipped with something in the shape of a cigar tip, a light glow smoldered at the very end of the needles, the purpose - to warm the needles. Moreover, there was a heat lamp placed above the knee. After the procedure, I don't feel anything strange (sometimes I hear tingling and soreness), but the pain in my knee has almost completely disappeared. To some extent it's definitely thanks to acupuncture, and besides, I didn't push my leg today.
