    Ningbo

    I'm in Ningbo, having a business trip. So nice. It's so good to have a change from the routine.
    Ningbo is cold and windy, so... I'm getting impatient. I wish the winter was finally gone and never back.

    conquest!

    Please listen to awesome song by The White Stripes, the American rock band. "Conquest" makes me fall on my knees! Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh!! Fighting!

    "Conquest!
    He was out to make a conquest
    Didn't care what harm was done
    Just as long as he won
    the prize

    Conquest!
    She was just another conquest
    Didn't care whose heart was broke
    Love to him was a joke
    'til he looked into her eyes

    And then in the strange way things happen
    The roles were reversed from that day
    The hunted became the huntress
    The hunter became the prey"
    [The White Stripes, Conquest, Icky Thump]

    Columbus

    An Italian explorer responsible for the European discovery of America in 1492. He had sailed across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain, under the patronage of the king and queen, Ferdinand and Isabella, hoping to find a westward route to India. His ships were the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Columbus made four voyages to the New World, visiting the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, Venezuela, and the coast of Central America.

    Edward Scissorhands

    Here is another movie - strongly recommended - "Edward Scissorhands" ("剪刀手爱德华") directed by Tim Burton. Acted by amazing Johnny Depp, left me with so many emotions! Romantic as hell, sad and fabulous.

    云水谣

    Spring Festival... long time to take rest. I bought some movies yesterday. I tried to find Chinese ones, as I want to know more about Chinese culture. I'd like to understand the mentality more... Maybe because of the movies I'll get a little bit closer?
    "云水谣" ("The Knot") tells the story about love... of course! Chinese movies are mostly about love! The scenery is beautiful.. Splendid! It's in Taiwan... And now I have a dream! Yes, you've guessed right! I want to visit Taiwan.
    "云水谣" is also about history, which interests me very much. Taiwan in late 1940s., early 1950s... and a little bit of Tibet in 1960s. Wow. I'll be back to this movie someday. Good one!

    the racing rats

    "When the time comes
    You're no longer there
    Fall down to my knees
    Begin my nightmare
    Words spill from my drunken mouth
    I just can't keep them all in
    I keep up with the racing rats
    And do my best to win

    If a plane were to fall from the sky
    How big a hole would it leave
    In the surface of the earth"
    [Editors, The Racing Rats, An End Has A Start]

    amazing

    The winter is so beautiful. I haven't seen so much snow, even in Poland!
    One day I couldn't wait for the bus (too long) so I decided to walk to my school. I took many photos... Hangzhou looks fabulous! Yesterday the snow started to melt, but today it is snowing again. We'll have white holidays, as Chinese New Year is coming (February 6th/7th).
    I met Lili yesterday; we went to the West Lake - amwazing views! A little bit cold, but who cares when the nature is so splendid!

    winter

    Snowing. Snowing heavily for the whole day. And I was so naive thinking that the spring would come very soon.
    According to the news this year's winter in China has been the strongest within last 50 years. Put on your long underwear, caps, scarves and gloves and take care.
