All things are difficult before they are easy.

I was imagining myself being all busy before my departure to China, getting everything prepared and stressing about everything that hasn't been done yet, but reality looks a bit different. I'm living normally, working overtime, wasting time as usual. Chinese AIESEC still ignores my e-mails asking for documents. I'm not learning Chinese as I planned. I'm not thinking about what should I pack. I'm doing nothing. Now that I think about it... what can I actually do? I got 3 months, so there's no need to rush actually.

I'm signing the contract soon. I'm still a bit of a pinch about what to do with that all. I mean, I'll sign the contract, just to resign 1,5 months later. But then, what should I do. I have no other option. I want to earn more too, before I go to China. After I sign this contract my salary will go up after all.

I don't know what should I do...


Days left to CA: 67

Continuity does not rule out fresh approaches to fresh situations.

Well, my days continue and I'm trying to spend them in a pleasant way, but of course there are things noone can predict. Like the 7th change of schedule at work. Sometimes I feel that this schedule is like an animal... It lives on its own and changes as quickly as a women's moods ^^;

But it's nothing to complain about. Soon, I'll be signing a contract at work, so for those two months before going to China I will be working for my retirement pension. That's how it works in Poland.

I think I should slowly start counting days to my Chinese adventure. Although I still haven't got any information from the company that hires me, they should send me an invitation soon. Plus, I got my ticket already. Departure: 26th of March. I'm flying with two stopovers, one in Budapest, where I'll have enough time to go and walk around and then in Beijing for just 2 hours. I got the ticket ultra cheap, so I hope they won't make any problem, because I will arrive in Xiamen on 27th and the internship starts on 31st.

Anyway!

I hope I'll be able to lessen some stress during snow fights and making snowmen. I made two tiny snowmen already. If I managed to get the photo my friend took, I'll upload it then.

It was the first day of snow. When the guy saw I'm trying to take a photo he started to run away Xp

Hey, but when it comes to snow and white color, I'm thinking of weird things... Like:

And why the hell am I thinking "Wooow it looks sooo niceee"!?!

Days left to China Adventure: 70

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.

Those few days were so pleasant and fun that I hardly noticed it was Friday the Thirteenth. Well, from what I heard, in some countries people consider this day the luckiest day, in contrary to Poland. But when you see beautiful snowflakes dancing around in the air, when you meet awesome people, who are so much different than you, but you have so much fun with them, when everything seems nice and cool... I would say it's what 'the luckiest day' should be.

Maybe some of you heard about Couch surfing, maybe some not. Basically it's a idea to enrich your traveling experience. And makes your travel costs lower. So, you just sign in, and when you decide to go traveling, you can ask some one from this website to host you for free. Ok. Not for free. The prize is to share your experiences and thoughts. It's not a high prize to pay, but it's so valuable when you receive it.
I cannot host people, so I set a coffee-or-drink option. Which means, I'm showing people around my city and meet with different people.

The day before yesterday, I met a Japanese guy, who was living in Russia for some time and his Russian friend who lives in Kraków and studies Polish language. It was so weird meeting them, but I had lots of fun. I felt that I want to do more more more. I want to meet people more. I want to travel more. And I want to improve myself more. Every time I'm meeting people who have many stories to tell, I gain new confidence to go forward. Although my internship matters got slower lately, because Chinese side cannot keep their promises and I still haven't received important documents for visa... But I will push forward!!!

Yes, it's a Polish BEER~!

I hope no matter where I go, I will be able to keep in touch with my friends! And I believe I will become a new person after living in a wild country like China haha~!
