catch you
26 Feb 2007 1 Comment
I am gonna find you
There ain’t no distance far enough
My love’s gonna find you
Run to where you want
One day I’ll remind you
There ain’t no engine fast enough
My love’s gonna catch you"

Kevin, Jack and Oliver

I spent there 2 days and then I had a guest at my home. Jack came to me, also for 2 days. He lives in Ningbo (宁波) now, working there. Last time we saw each other in December… The weather was so good that we went to West Lake (西湖) and climbed hills around Hangzhou. Beautiful views.
Now the holiday is over. Most of Chinese people are working today although it is Sunday. I have my English corners again.
I also want to mention my Chinese brother – Oliver! We had dinner together with his family on New Year’s Day – Spring Festival. It is like Christmas in western countries so the families should get together… Thanks to Oliver I didn’t feel that I’m different than other Chinese. Atually I’m a little bit Chinese, aren’t I?
New Year has begun.

There is an answer to the darkest times
It’s clear
We don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you
I believe that we’re in this together
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you"

新年快乐!!
It’s the year of pig – 猪年. I hope it’s successful and full of interesting experiences for everybody. Take care and let the golden pig (金猪) bring you richness and satisfaction.

Somebody wants me to get married. Strange feeling to know that… I’m not prepared for this and I don’t know if I ever am. Sometimes I think I could but it would mean that finally I became an adult. But the reason for getting married should be love, shouldn’t it? Maybe it’s naive thinking but the fact that somebody’s lonely doesn’t mean that we should do it.
I couldn’t sleep for the whole night – too many thoughts in my mind. Sometimes I think that my head will crack. Too many…

Spring Festival is coming. Everybody is preparing to get together with their families, that’s why recently there were just few students in my classes. It was interesting experience to see only 8-10 people in my English corner while I got used to see more than 30! Possibly after holidays there will be more new students, the new semester will start.
Because of the coming holidays I almost can’t arrange anything with my suppliers. They just tell me to wait patiently until it’s over and not to get angry. But how can I stay calm when my boss tells me that we can’t wait any longer? I know that the holiday is important but… it makes my work really difficult and annoying.
Everyday in the morning I listen to Polish radio online. It is my new tradition to keep in touch with my homecountry. It’s nice to know what’s happening there. Of course I also read news in Internet but Polish music is important, too. And staying in China, it’s hard to be up-to-date with Polish songs. Not anymore! Now it’s great!
For those who are interested in Polish radio: you can click here and listen. It is my favourite radio station… the third programme of Polish Radio. Enjoy.

That I can’t make you stay
But where’s your heart
But where’s your heart
But where’s your…
And I know
There’s nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change!
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
You’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home"

forgot!!
11 Feb 2007 4 Comments
Friday was not very good day. For the first time I forgot about my class!! Actually I wrote the time wrong – I thought that I had English corner at 7, while it was at 3! That’s why when there was 3, I was at home, working calmly with my boss. And then the telephone rang… "Where are you? Students are waiting for you!!" And then I realized my big mistake. Just because a week before I had a class in the evening, I thought that it is also this time in the evening. Oh, horrible. I couldn’t go and some other teacher had to replace me. This is called an emergency!!!
For the rest of the day I felt awful because I knew I had disappointed many people. I hate this feeling. Of course it was the first and the last time.
– My schedule for the coming year is not changed.
– OK. Still weekends? Or you can do more?
– I can do more.
– Students like your classes.
– That’s nice to hear.
– That’s true.
“I don’t know”
08 Feb 2007 3 Comments
We always try to be helpful and share our knowledge but it’s difficult to lie – to tell that we know something which we actually don’t know. I think it’s always better to admit that I don’t know and to try to find the answer. "I don’t know" doesn’t mean that we are not prepared for classes.
It’s very easy to accuse somebody and make them suffer. It’s unfair.
Have you ever heard the quote "I know that I know nothing"? It is the key for humanity, a stimulus that we learn all the time and that this process is never finished. A neverending story.
