Life and Travel in China

An air raid alert was tested today in Shenzhen. But who is going to attack China? Osama Bin Laden? Japanese? Americans? Taiwanese? Probably no one, but the prudent is always insured.

I returned at night from a trip to the beautiful mountains, ZhangJiaJie, Hunan province. A landscape park included on the UNESCO list, unique rocks and exceptionally soaring mountains. The biggest minus is the terrible accommodation (in practice - spiders in the hotel room, supposedly three stars), poor food (mainly vegetables, pig skins and fat). Of course, in some places there were thousands of tourists from China, Japan and Korea, I also saw a group of white people. Tiring queues for the lifts, sometimes you have to wait an hour. The noise is bothersome, the crowd feels like you're in a hypermarket, not in a forest or in the mountains. I also hate walking up stairs in the mountains, I miss Polish trails. Despite these inconveniences, the views make up for everything. I took 540 photos, so I will definitely add something to the gallery soon.

I have now checked what phrases are searched for on the Internet and how people find my website. The winner was the person who searched for the term "FOOT BREAKING IN CHINA - PHOTOS"!!! Breaking feet - maybe there is something on the Internet about it, but photos? Who takes photos of broken feet? People have read about China, God knows what, in the Polish press and are looking for photos of broken feet. I don't know if the same person or someone else was searching for the phrase "abortion - photos". Nothing pleasant! The term "photos from Hin" is also interesting, what are these Hina photos? Is there such a country somewhere, Hiny?

I'm already waiting for jackets, T-shirts and hats with the <i>BMW Sauber-Kubica</i> logo to appear in Chinese stores! Maybe in a few years they will replace the <i>Ferrari Schumacher</i> gadgets common in China. And I will tell you straight that no politician or diplomat will promote Poland in China like Robert Kubica or another good athlete from our homeland. It is not the most popular sport, but there are broadcasts and Kubica will also be loud in China. Just like during the football championship, people talked about Podolski, Smolarek and Klose.

Today I met a British guy at a party organized by the hotel. The guy said that he was born before the war, had been to the USA, Brazil, and now he has been living in Shanghai for a long time. It follows that he is over seventy years old and imagine that he has a 'girlfriend' here. I ask, is she Chinese? He said of course there is, since there are so many girls here. He was such a grandpa, and he hit on every waitress at the party, danced, drank healthily... it seems that life in China is good for him. It is another example for my last column from the O2.PL portal, which I will soon post on this website.
