spidery arms wide open
taipei, hours. 23.34
suddenly I'm in Taiwan for several hours and although I have not seen hardly anything - how can you otherwise, the nicer!
do not know what makes all these cities give the impression of really dirty, poor, chaotic, forgotten, but nonetheless feel taipei life (as in Shanghai). Compared with macau - heaven and earth.
can and here is poor, but human, truly, in life. People unconsciously smiling, open, offer assistance at every step, the interpreter, what and where and how.
embodied the afternoon nap, then went to the center for dinner - delicious local fish cake + Japanese-looking rather strange, because as the human rump. To make matters more interesting, decorated with a leaf toto. after dinner, drove to the Longshan Temple metro (temple) and shook the area, mainly to find a snake's alley - snake's market. I had plans to eat something exotic, but says without a beat - I do not have enough courage. Taipei is famous Apparently, night markets and the fact it is interesting (the first time I saw a poodle in jeans and pulowerze), but the smell I can not describe. not to mention what they go there. I like offal - heart, stomach, kidney, liver, and of course, but I do not know what was here in the stalls and probably do not want to know. rarities! ;) All waiting to fry, cook. but nothing beats the huge jars of pickled pickled snakes and mice. tasty.
ps. I finished autobiography Harpo Marx, and is already in the middle biography of Heath Ledger. reading, reading, and I can not believe how that similarity with my attitude to work and not work.

farewell Taiwan with China
hours. 12.25
sit on the plane, just fly away from Hong Kong to taipei. Today I'm burning more or less 3.5 hours, and for that I took two aviomariny, so I barely keep on his feet. yesterday's day in macau medium quality - a dozen or so hours solid rain and wind gave life a misery. especially in the 15tym floor of the hotel. ok.9.30 I got up, ate breakfast in the company of two suspects of Chinese types, dealing with head colds odchrzakiwaniem gouging in the teeth and smoking cigarettes, then I returned to peace and ... woke up again ok.13. shower, a short walk around the city (piles of garbage, leaflets, specific smell of the air, an interesting case - kilkudziesieciopietrowe glass, very writing by modern tower blocks arise using scaffolding made of bamboo), a visit to the supermarket (seaweed candy) and even a moment sleep. evening concert and after-concert visit to the exchange office and a pharmacy (Chinese medicines for motion sickness, incidentally over 60% of drugs in China, the linden, fraud), packing and sleep. at 6 am departure from the hotel, water jet trip to macau to hong kong, breakfast at the airport for flight times.
typhoon had hit yesterday, and frankly speaking, bigger than the rain and wind yesterday did not see how to live. But this was only the prelude, and the typhoon has weakened itself somewhere along the way, so we managed to not get stuck in macau. Hallelujah.
podsumawujac: china interesting and expensive. visually interesting, uninteresting socially and systemically. prices are often higher than in London, which is impressive. people are rude, loud. beard on the streets, the stench and misery mixed with modernity (Another kind of mix than in Russia, where gold comes from the buildings, here it is more technique and modernization, futuristic buildings.) food as the equivalent of Asia (terribly much fat), water is not suitable for anything. almost complete lack of greenery in urban areas, were seen. relative humidity knock. very interesting to see it all with their own eyes, but really it's a different planet.

Damon System Braces Pros Cons
4.10.2008, h. 23.41
macau. Chinese las vegas. the only place in China, in which gambling is legal. I never thought that the world is so ugly even a place like Las Vegas, but I can see how all his life in ignorance ... what a mess.
apart stuffiness (30 C), really difficult to bear relative humidity (water breathing, and I have a thatched roof on his head), dirt, all plastered with neon, complete lack of greenery, there's just depressing. such a very bad place for me operate. money, gambling, prostitution.
flew to Hong Kong about 15, but about 1917 we were already on board TURBOJET'a, a fast boat relationship hong kong - macau. typhoon did not appear, but the waves strong enough to lead with such speed 3 / 4 passengers for-use paper bags. luckily it missed the pleasure of me - stunned by the songs of the band The Shins, closed my eyes and scream. luggage waited in place unless the zylion hours. a rickety trolley for transportation of luggage, half of the wet storage, issuing shipments on cards, etc.. hardly we came through customs clearance, suitcases landed in a heap again - this time on a trailer truck. buses, which probably remember the sixteenth century there was no luggage ... hotel is ok for me, because I have luck and got a room at 15tym floor - one for non-smokers, so I do not stinks. Hallelujah. bathroom unless designed for it only for Asians, because standing in the tub head touching the ceiling, and none of me again, michael jordan.
mentioned at the exchange office around the corner of dollars on currency makauanska (despite this, the macau is already part of China, not Portugal, did not admit to Chinese currency), I ate dinner at a local bar (the food surprisingly good, and instead I got to hand menu, photo album with pictures of all the dishes; great probability that I ate a dog ...), I bought to try some Chinese sweets and soft drinks strange, half a moment before I washed things (I poured shampoo in my suitcase - What a joy! ...) and go to sleep.
typhoon has hit tomorrow or after tomorrow, so I do not know if or how to get out of stocks. I would rather be stuck in Hong Kong, if at all ...

Where To Donate Used Christmas Cards 2010
capital of debauchery without oxygen and silence
10/03/2008
just returned from a concert and I spend last night in Shanghai. Tomorrow we move to Hong Kong by plane and from there by ferry to macau. this is in any case the plan and what it really is - I have no idea. I barely managed to beat a cold temperature, and get lost, a new problem appeared in the form announced for tomorrow in Hong Kong ... Typhoon ...
ot, a trifle, so as not to get bored ... Shanghai
a wild and chaotic today as yesterday. if you do not have a horn (that was weird happens, that does not need a stretcher ...), elbow elbows, because people are literally a manhole at each other without any excuse. street vendors, is another story. not enough to say 'no, thank you. " need hardly in a kick, so as to get rid of the delinquent. in sklepowo-pedestrian part of the city 'watch or bag' turned into 'watch or bag or shoes or dvd' - as we see trade flourishes. refusing at every opportunity, that is, more or less a thousand times per second, and finally the noise in half with laughter when a Chinese guy shouted in despair (after 'watch or bag'): 'my name is a something there, You are beautiful, i love you, see you tomorrow '.
well, there will be no tomorrow ...
today toured another part of the city, including the people's park (with Elena wdalysmy in discussions with some local authorities, who by his language skills and geography concluded that London is in Poland ...). kitchen - Today I ate two 'lollipops' with an octopus - PRIDE! and taksowkowo - also very successful. true that the taxi driver did not spit, but so zajezdzal all the way (though it's still a standard), with the end of someone who stood next to the car, broke off his right hand in reward lusterko.przy both mirrors and so hard to survive the Chinese taxi journey, and without mirrors - let me Dunder ....
Chinese are generally a very aggressive, loud and confident, and this is usually only a mile, if you want to earn something. not to mention the fact that I was looking at me like I fell from outer space with this appearance, that is, without a pitched eyes. On the other hand skosnoocy tourists stopped me a few times already, asking for a photo, because they are the first time in Shanghai. However, that is, look like locally? I have to bite the stories of my family - on the horizon Chinese roots.

shanghai whether madhouse?
10/02/2008
Mother of God, what a city. still shanghai.
Chinese are loud, noisy to the limits of strength, with no manners. Dr. August on the whole at every opportunity, pushes his elbows and May for everything right.
stench everywhere, mess, dirt and uproar. it came to that, with at some point put it in the ear plugs and sunglasses on his nose in order to survive.
on the streets of the battle for a place. green light does not mean anything. NOTHING. everyone wants it and where it may (Yesterday, and I am proud, sly, without prejudice to their health by 8-band highway). if there is insufficient space on the street, the cars enter the streets and pavements. why not ...
Sodom and Gomorrah.
toured solidly old city, a few temples, antique market, gardens yu yung (the only preserved in a truly Chinese city, a traditional district), aquariums (in the middle of the longest, but unfortunately not the most interesting underwater tunnel in the world - 155metrow). also drank a cocktail at the top of the third world's tallest building and placed the most peculiar traveling taxis (from the moment you drove me who in the course of driving at every opportunity opening a door and spitting out the excess saliva and ... cold ... - disgusting). I also bought a couple of local products and learned how to be pretty good haggling in Chinese!
food - tasted what was possible. noodles with shellfish and seaweed, smoked quail eggs and cake flavor and appearance of dough served tea, etc..
for now lives on his own, fought on the occasion of the temperature, yellow water, change of time and lack of silence.
what a wilderness. another planet, as the word gives.
ps. I have a lot of pictures, but I will join later, because I do not have my computer.
