March 31 hotHot hot hot. Today the temperatures are 31 degrees in Hangzhou. Pay attention that it's March.  I love spring. 我爱春天。 Tomorrow should be cooler. March 28 trainingAs busy as bee! I don't like wasting time and if there's any opportunity, I take it. This Monday I began an English training in a clothing factory. They need a teacher who helps them to improve their abilities to speak. How did I find them? Let me think...  A friend of mine has a friend who is a HR-specialist in that company. He recommended me to her, we met a week ago and talked about details. And here I am! Willing to teach, to know more people, to get familiar with Chinese companies' culture, here I am!! I'm supposed to teach about 20 people, most of them are girls... as it is a factory for women's silk clothes. The first class was simply an introduction. I hope they like my teaching style, not very serious but useful and effective, though. Next meeting is on Monday. The factory is so far. Anyway, for me it is not a problem. It is even an advantage because I can know Hangzhou better and better. There is a part of my personality which is always looking for a bright side of every situation that I experience. It's an attitude which helps to overcome every difficulty. Optimism. March 26 the alchemist"Omnia sol temperat, purus et subtilis

Once again it reveals to the world with April's face The soul of man is urged towards love And joys are governed by the boy-god) [Enigma, Eppur Si Muove, A Posteriori]

March 25 one yearToday is exactly one year since I've come to China. So many things have changed. I've met so many friendly people. I've gained so much experience. I've learned that life is what you make it. I want more.  March 23 ShanghaiI went to Shanghai on Tuesday. Soon I'm going to Thailand so I need a visa. It's good that Thai consulate is so near to Hangzhou, otherwise I would have to go to the embassy in Beijing.. or to issue visa at the airport. Oliver and Harry went together with me. The weather became very nice. Quite warm and sunny. Obviously we finally said goodbye to the winter. I can finally hide my winter coat to the wardrobe. Usually it takes 2 working days to get visa, but this time there was no queue and I got it just on next day. Very fast and very effective. I can go now!! Welcome to Thailand! Shanghai is gorgeous. So modern, so fashion, so rushing. I like it but only for a visit. To live, Hangzhou is much better. I always feel very comfortable to come back here. My city. March 19 dashboard"Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know. Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio. Oh, it should've been, could've been worse than you would ever know. Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like some place I'd like to go. Oh, it could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know. Well, the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air y'know. Oh, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know, oh! Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh. Now here we go!"

March 17 "Changes"Gareth Gates, one of my favourite singers is back. I like his new song, it's called "Changes". Deeply romantic. Wow. March 16 massageI cut my hair yesterday. In China visit at a hairdresser's is very different than in my hometown. The first difference is the length... It's so long here! I guess I spent more than 1,5 hours in a salon. The second difference is the service. In the beginning a young girl or a boy washes hair very carefully. Yesterday I had a girl... She has done a massage for me. So relaxing. The massage included the whole head, ears, neck, arms. At first I wanted to laugh because it seemed very funny to me but later I just enjoyed the girl's touch. After that there was a time for coffee. And then the haircut. My hair is very short now, I think I look younger and more fresh. More handsome? It's been raining heavily for many days. Boring, isn't it? I called my Mum yesterday. She wrote an email to me that she missed me. So I made a surprise for her, she didn't expect my call. Oh, she was so happy to hear my voice. This was a thing worth doing. I like to make people happy. Small thing... but small things make us the happiest. March 15 cloudsspread your wings and fly to the sky feel wind in your hair enjoy freedom and joy but it's easy to misguide daily life troubles so keep your eyes open clouds may cheat the sky is falling the love is feeling take some time March 14 friendsIt's been raining recently quite often. Yes, in springtime it's usual. These days I'm working a lot. My company has many orders from China, I need to take care of production, delivery time, prices... Sometimes I'm tired and depressed when something doesn't go as I want. But the best way to find a solution is... to sleep. Really! Next day is always better! It's so optimistic, isn't it? I have two new friends. They are Harry and Jimmy. Jim is Jack's classmate and he works with Harry. Haha, that's funny but they can call me their godfather because I gave them English names. I guess it's a good job. To find a name for particular person is not easy, the name should fit to him, also to appearance... Yesterday they visited me and we spent evening on watching a movie. Yes, it was "Curse of the Golden Flower" ("满城尽带黄金甲"). Great movie, I will definitely watch it once again. To tell you the truth it was the first Chinese movie I enjoyed. Maybe the reason is that I watched it with friends, not alone? I'm waiting for warmer days. curse of the golden flower (满城尽带黄金甲)Directed by: Zhang Yimou Starring: Chow Yun-Fat, Gong Li, Jay Chou Brilliant movie! March 12 she's my man"She's my man And we got all the balls we need When you taste that pavement You're amazed She smells your sympathy So bye bye ladies May the best queen hold the crown For the most bush sold on the levee My my, how word gets around She strangles for a good time And she kills my self-control She's my man, don't be too sad sonny 'Cause she'll never be your woman no more" [Scissor Sisters, She's My Man, Ta Dah] Hitlist #314 March 12th, 2007
March 06 winterMy god, it's so cold today! Where has the spring gone?? Saturday was so warm, Sunday a little bit colder, but yesterday and today - just freezing! It's the same like when I came back to China in the beginning of January! I don't want to go anywhere, just stay in the bed and drink hot tea. Luckily I guess everybody is aware that this weather will not last very long, like it is the last sign of winter. Soon it'll get warm again. I already planned my holiday. It will be in May, when in China there are 7 free days because of Labours' Day. I'll go to the place which is always warm and blooming. Thailand!! And on my way back I will stop for a couple of days in Singapore! Wow, I'm so excited about this trip! I'm a traveller. I've always wanted to travel around the world. And so far I try to do it. There are many plans in my mind, many ideas which only wait to be put into life. Oh, so cold. Let it be warmer tomorrow.

March 02 spring!Oh, it's so beautiful weather! I was riding bike quite long time. I like it so much - to feel the warm wind in my hair and watching an amazing nature... Just take a look at some pictures of Hangzhou.
It's spring again! March 01 throatMy throat is not good again. I feel like I'm losing my voice again, and this time I also have a bad cough. Damn! It's because of the weather which recently is wet and rainy, and in the evenings is still cold.
I'm busier recntly working for my company in Poland. We placed few orders, we paid a lot of money... and my boss will come to China. I need to organize his trip and staying here. I hope I can manage with it and he will be satissfied!
