Life and Travel in China

And I will probably ask the Chinese ambassador in North Korea to ask the Koreans on my behalf to conduct another nuclear test in Warsaw, on Wiejska Street. Only such drastic measures can 'dissolve' our inept parliament for good.

Today is the opening of the exhibition of the Chinese Terracotta Army in the Blue City shopping center in Warsaw. I invite everyone to the photo gallery, where my photos will also be presented (most of the new photos are not on this website). Unfortunately, there is an admission fee, but that's not up to me.

Yesterday, standing in the middle of the bus with my wife, I observed an interesting scene. One young guy was sitting next to the guy, about 40 years old. Suddenly the young man says to him "what are you looking at?". The older one replied to him and suddenly two of the young man's friends got up and started hitting the man. And since they pushed me too, and I didn't like their three-on-one gang, I tried to separate them. I had no intention of getting involved, but I just stood between them. The guests kicked and punched the elder in the face. An old man with a hearing aid also tried to separate them, and after a while the driver got involved. One of them pushed my wife and then I got angry and pushed them the other way and separated them from the guy they were beating for basically no reason. The bus pulled into the police station and we waited 10 minutes for an officer. Because I was in a hurry, we just got out and took a taxi, and the older guy explained to the police what happened. Wariaci!

Let me just say that in China today there is no All Souls' Day as such, their culture also pays tribute to people who have passed away, but if I remember correctly it is a holiday in spring. I also admit that I have only once accidentally seen a funeral in the countryside (around Xi'an) and only once have I seen a large cemetery (about 20 km outside the metropolis of Shenzhen), and I don't know what funerals are like here. I suppose because of the huge population, cremation is more popular and practical than traditional burial.

In Polish schools there are only dramas, some massive aggression. Maybe if kids in Poland went to school like their peers in China, they wouldn't have time, inclination or energy for fooling around and vulgar behavior. In the middle of nowhere, you go to school from Monday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an hour break for lunch. And on Sundays, extracurricular activities, courses, etc. These children have no time or strength for nonsense, they only study, and sometimes they also help their parents with their work, for example in some small shops.
