Life and Travel in China

I have probably already mentioned that in my area most karaoke clubs and 'dual-function' massage parlors were closed, some order from the top and prostitution was combated. Two days ago, a few intersections away, police caught 167 prostitutes and 10 Hong Kong bosses. They even organized a public show of all these people, the police conducted them nicely in front of the gathered audience, and there is no shortage of onlookers in China. I saw these photos and an article about it today, I haven't been there personally.

Ningbo is ugly at first glance. I'm supposed to be in the city center, in a hotel, but there's nothing interesting here. However, in every smaller street there are 'massage parlors' with pink neon signs. In Shenzhen, prostitution takes the form of nicely decorated karaoke clubs (KTV) or massage parlors, but at least they are elegant. Here there are dirty, small massage parlors and not very pretty, neglected country girls. But I guess there is both demand and supply for these services, since there are more of them here than grocery stores on some streets. I'll add some photos later! Tomorrow I continue my journey around Zhejiang.

Coming back to the city of Ningbo, there are nicer and uglier places. My hotel wasn't exactly in the center, about 5 minutes by car. Today I visited an open-air museum, the city center and the modern part. If someone tells me that only Shenzhen is rich and developing, I will gladly take him there. Ningbo is also developing strongly. Entire new districts, a large university town, office buildings and quite decent residential houses, but after crossing the bridge we are greeted again by old and neglected tenement houses.

I'm just looking at the statistics, I'm a bit worried about the number of visits, because there will be no transfer this month, 40% has already been used. As a curiosity, who comes to my website and what they were looking for: 'naked Chinese women', 'photos of Asian women', 'Chinese models', 'Chinese dogs', 'young Chinese women', 'photos of prostitutes', and someone went a step further 'group sex' and 'Chinese sex'. Wow... if it continues like this, I think I have to change the nature of this website, people expect Asian pornography :-))). I can already imagine how many have been disappointed so far.

In Poland, the elections are to last two days... or maybe three, or three... a week, a month, a year, or even two years, better four at once, we will elect them throughout the entire term. There are no such problems in China, when there are elections there are only local, local government ones (maybe something like the election of a mayor). The rest, i.e. the president and the parliament, elect themselves and that's cool! In Poland, they should also choose themselves, because the citizens don't want to. We are simply not suitable for democracy, let them rule and elect themselves. Let's give Polish politicians a bit of happiness!
