in Europe

I’m in Poland.

Spending time in my brother’s garden, driving my parents’ car, drinking beer and wine.

Today we’re going to Paris. Wow, for the first time!

For one week!

We are European travelers!

typical

I’m going home.

I want it. And I don’t want it. That’s so typical behaviour of mine. I don’t know what I really want.

I’ve had a hard time doing business here. I’m not sure if I still like it. Most of the times it seems easy, but there are times when everything collapses like it was the end of the world.

I’m happy to see my family again. I’m frustrated to see my company again.

I’m spending only 2 weeks in Europe. Few days in Poland, few days in France, few days in Poland again. And then I’m going back to China.

Actually, I should ask myself a question where my home is. Is it anywhere?

Damn.

bye to plastic bag

Want a plastic shopping bag? Pay for it. That’s what shoppers were told at cash counters of supermarkets, department stores and groceries across China on June 1st. Following a government order aimed at reducing pollution, retailers stopped giving free plastic shopping bags from the day before yesterday.

Plastic shopping bags undoubtedly make shopping convenient, but they also harm the environment.

But the question is: can the Chinese people, who have enjoyed free plastic bags for more than a decade, kick their habit? And what do the vendors think?
