    weaker

    I can tell I'm weaker than before. Something has been wrong with me since I came back to Hangzhou last week. I'm getting tired very fast, I have no appetite (what is bad - how thin can I be!! Zmieszanie), I'm getting angry, so many things annoy me these days. Are they just changes I experienced during my travels? If so, then how long can it last to adjust?
    My mood has been also unstable: sometimes I'm melancholic, sad, want to cry, ad it takes just few moments to be extremely happy. I guess it's not normal. Emotional swing, sleepless.
    Yeah, I need to take a long rest. When? Maybe in next life... Sarkazm
    I bought tickets to fly back to China. I'm going to Poland in the end of June (the ticket was purchased last year) and going to be back in mid-July. It's a roundtrip... so yes, I know when I'm going back to Poland again. And it won't be until March 2009... That scares me a little because it means I won't be back home for Christmas. It's going to be the first time I won't spend Christmas with my family. I decided not to come back at that time because my sister-in-law has been pregnant, hopefully is giving birth in winter - I'd like to see the baby. Perhaps it won't be born until Christmas and I want to be sure to meet a happy, enlarged family. It's too expensive and too time-consuming to fly to Europe twice within few months.
    Now I think it's a good idea. Who knows how I'm going to feel in December.
    Looking for a better world; where can I find it...?

    You turn myself to me
    Recognise the poison in my heart
    There is no other place
    No one else I face
    The remedy, to agree, is how I feel"

    Guangzhou

    Currently I'm in Guangzhou - I'm attending Canton Fair. So big evnt, so many people, so big city, which... unfortunately didn't impress me much.
    Anyway, everywhere you can try to find some nice places. I found! Pity, that there are not too many such places in Guangzhou.
    I'm going back to Hangzhou tomorrow. Finally, I miss it!

    "Don't get any big ideas
    They're not gonna happen
    You paint your smile
    And fill the holes
    There'll be something missing

    Just when you found it
    It's gone
    Just when you feel it
    You don't
    It's gone forever"

    how to disappear completely

    What happens with people after they die? Where do they go? Can they see others?
    How to disappear completely?
    How to disappear completely and never be found?
    The song I want to present is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard. I'm up in the sky, so high... from where everything looks so small and meaningless. I love that feeling. I'm not here. This isn't happening. Let the music take you there. 
     
     
    Radiohead: "How To Disappear Completely"
     
    That there
    That's not me
    I go
    Where I please
    I walk through walls
    I float down the Liffey
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening

    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    In a little while
    I'll be gone

    The moment's already passed
    Yeah it's gone
    And I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    Strobe lights and blown speakers
    Fireworks and hurricanes
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here
    [Radiohead, How To Disappear Completely, Kid A]
