I met this interesting girl... 23 years old, unemployed, taking some English course. Why isn't he working? He doesn't have to, because he has a sponsor. A 36-year-old man from Taiwan, obviously married with children, comes to Shenzhen on business for a few days every month and here he has a permanent mistress whom he maintains. Besides, he is not the only one, the guests from Hong Kong are the same and this is Chinese loyalty. I know that their king had 365 wives in the old days, but I don't think they should consider themselves kings and cultivate such a tradition. It's none of my business, but girls like that piss me off, they only think about money. And these guys can wipe themselves with banknotes and think that they can do anything outside the house. Why do they start families at all?

I'm currently listening to the electoral block (local elections) in the third program of Polish Radio. And I come to the conclusion that whoever we choose there, it will be paradise in Poland. Work, safety, free education, environmental protection, fight against drug addiction and prostitution, lower taxes... it's nice to hear. Their promises are really good!

Some time ago I saw a Pole on the border with Hong Kong. How did I recognize him? Firstly, because I have such a gift, and secondly, because he had the same worn-out passport as me. It's a joke how Polish passports are produced (mine is new, supposedly EU, cherry in color, probably from 2004). What a scandal! The gold-plated emblem and the inscription passport on the cover simply wore off after a few weeks. How can this be? Mongolia already has better passports, what a shame! Each country has a normal passport with a visible emblem and nationality. Italian, Chinese, American, Canadian, Japanese... the whole world has normal passports, only Poland has such wonderful, invisible prints. Once, the officer even looked at my passport from every side - he had probably never seen such rubbish before. Someone should be responsible for this, right?! Passports aren't free for fuck's sake!

And Mr. Marek Niedźwiecki has just published a text in Trójka that he is receiving e-mails with stamps, and I quote, "From Japan, China, or something worse." Nice text, maybe the poor man won't even realize that he spoke about the middle country as if it was something bad.
