my Chinese

I don’t know how long I can keep doing it for, but I think I should try harder to improve my Chinese. I am able to write some simple passages – I hope I can be better with every single sentence!

我昨天去剪头发了. 我们以前的理发店正在装修, 所以应该找其他的. 没问题~! 杭州有很多理发店!

理发师问我的头发是不是天然的颜色… … 当然啊! 我从来没染发了! 是真棕色的!

章昊生病了, 觉得有点严肃… 因为他回家了, 去湖州. 我担心, 天气不太好, 很经常下雨, 空气很潮湿的. 很容易感冒了!

我今天去过游泳. 感觉很舒服, 很爽! 人不多, 水温暖, 我游泳很疯狂了! 加油加油!

晚上时候跟章昊发送了几个短信. 我终于告诉了他我的秘密! … … 可是现在有点遗憾. 不确定他能不能接受我. 虽然他说 “没关系”, 我还不知道. 我很怀疑的; 不喜欢这种感觉.

那我为什么告诉了他? 哈, 明显地我希望了他是跟我一样的. 对的, 我依然太孤单.

我的老家

我最近想家, 好久没回波兰, 大概一年半! 这是最长没看见我老家的时间!

这就是我决定了在英语角描述我来自的地方.

我的故乡叫Solec Kujawski, 在比得哥什 (Bydgoszcz) 和托伦 (Toruń)之间. 觉得Solec没有中文名字, 应该读 “所累次 – 酷雅夫斯基”… 哈哈, 不太简单的!

这是很小的地方, 只有一万五千居民. 那里没有很多杭州有的东西: 比如说 没有大学, 电影院, 医院 (我们只有诊所), 没有污染, 公交车, 所以没有堵车! 哈, 真棒. 那里只有一个高中学, 两三个餐厅 (当然没有麦当劳或肯德基!), 四个教堂. 居民都是基督徒, 每个星期天去教堂. 没有咖啡厅, 但没关系… 我们能在家里和咖啡, 这很普通的活动.

 尽管没有很多, 人们经常开心. 他们去河边钓鱼, 或去森林找蘑菇, 或骑自行车, 或见朋友们. 他们也可能去恐龙公园 – 很有趣的! 如果需要去医院, 应该去比得哥什. 你需要购物吗? 我们有小商店… 不用去逛街, 不用外面吃 – 我觉得大家很高兴Solec很平静.

对我有点无聊, 太安静. 我总是想看世界了! 但有时候很想回家. 我会的 – 四月份!

my trip to Guangxi

Chinese New Year has come. It’s the year of the dragon. I celebrated it together with Jim and his family in his hometown, a small village in Guangxi province in southern China. What an experience it has been! It was completely different from what I had expected and seen so far. A countryside. Real farmers, quite poor, but still satisfied and easily happy. Wonderful views! Just look at these green mountains, the fields filled with rape flowers!

It was a bit cold, but hey – it’s winter, even in the south. Any difficulties? For example the muddy roads… it was quite risky to ride a motorbike. Why not a car? Well, it would have been crazy to do it in these narrow paths going through the forests and hills.

The people were just lovely. We did communicate a little, although my Mandarin is still poor and they are used to speaking the local dialects. Happy New year and thanks for having me there. I’m sure I’ll remember this trip for the rest of my life. And who knows, maybe I can go back to the land where children are carried by mothers on their backs. It’s really interesting!

I came back to Hangzhou with a lot of inspirations and energy for the future.

still the Kooks!

The Kooks are still the best and are winning for the 3rd time! “Rosie” is a great song and I can only regret that the band hasn’t released it as a single. It would be a big hit!

There are some good, old names on the chart – Moby, Seal, Madonna (yes! New song!), The Doors (I love them again, just like in the high-school days!), some new names… and the first time ever: one artist has 3 songs – it must be Jay Chou, who else could have done it?

Rosie! I want you to agree

“Rosie,
Well I feel your love and I want you to agree
To be,
Still take your time but get to me
Rosie

Well I wanted you so easily
Illusions past and now I see
Image is so different to reality
Rosie”
