Life and Travel in China

I recently ate a very strange Chinese 'sweet', if anything can be called sweets in this country. It was a flat fruit jelly, a small snack. Basically tasteless, but... the strangest thing was that it was covered with wafers on both sides?! That's right, a light, simple cake that tastes and looks like our Christmas Eve wafers. What a desecration! Jelly covered with wafer to prevent fingers from sticking.

Today I found on the Internet the website of a Chinese company selling cheap jewelry (Zhejiang province). Imagine that they advertise on their website with the image of Prime Minister Donald Tusk! Interesting... there will be chaos.

Today in the Chinese Carrefour there was a tasting of Smirnoff vodka and Baileys liqueur. It's a pity that this isn't available in Poland. I can already imagine the queues of older men - a hundred tastings and then back to the queue. Shopping in such a hypermarket is a pleasure, every man would gladly go there with his wife. "You go, honey, look there, and I'll stand here in line with my friends." And there were no tasters in the Chinese market. And here the seed fell on inhospitable soil.

Today they are organizing a family picnic in the park under the slogan "One pair - one child". Such a propaganda show, they have prepared a stage, hundreds of chairs and I will present something. It would be better to teach contraception in high schools than to explain something to married couples who have 2-3 children after the fact. I personally know two couples who are having a second child illegally, so this one-child policy is largely not working.

The campaign against the Beijing Olympics is already starting in the Polish media. They point out all the absurdities, mistakes and mistakes of the organizers and make jokes about them. I don't remember such anecdotes before the games in Atlanta, Sydney or Athens. Why? Because in our opinion the Chinese are such idiots that you can laugh at. However, I know the Chinese mentality well and I know that they can do their best in certain matters, and even the famous Polish hospitality has nothing to do with the hospitality and kindness of the Chinese. They help everyone, even if they cannot communicate in English, in hotels, at airports, at the border, they lead guests by the hand. The Olympics will surely surprise everyone and will be great, but no one in Poland will admit it, because they will deal with human rights and freedom of Tibet. People simply do not understand that this country has to be like this and that millions must suffer for thousands to prosper. That's how it is.
