Tak, Siodłogóra. Nie jest to ani Pekin ani Szanghaj aby internety cierpiały na nadmiar informacji na ich temat. 9,252 km² i trochę powyżej trzech milionów mieszkańców. Narodu mniej więcej Warszawa razy 3?. Znalazłam całkiem sympatyczny trawelogue z Chinką mówiącą po angielsku. Szkoda że nie ma czegoś takiego po polsku, mogłabym pokazać rodzinie czy znajomym. Większość mojego toczenia albo nie zna angielskiego w ogóle albo potrafi tylko czytać, nie rozumie ze słuchu.

Spodobał mi się bardzo pokaz teatru cieni. Zobaczyć takie coś na żywo to na pewno niezapomniane przeżycie. Magiczne. "Tym się jaram".

oh my my

Everybody knows nothing.
I'm still waiting on the last result.

But that isn't the most importart matter. I mean China journey stuff. Since the flight should be about the end of August/the beginning of Semptember we should to know something about, right? But nope, nope.

If that journey even happens I will explain the issue in detail. 'coz it's complicated. And stressful.

exams and things to complete in July and August 2014

About my exams - I am waiting at 3 last results. The rest is all passed.
Waiting and wainting, kind of nervous waiiting. Unpleasant.

And I'm completing my plan.

Everything is cool... Yet I would like to see following movies, novelties I missed:

But I have to study to my exam from English literature. A lot of materials. I like literature but suddennly, when it's an abligatory thing... haha, i have to take a grip on myself!

And those pleasures above... I have to wait until holidays. Holiday plans! But that's all western things... Not good. I have to decide on something eastern.

so... after some thinking I decided to watch and read:

Films:

Books:
- Norvegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
- The Art of War by Sun Tzu
- Doughter of the River by Ying Hong (random chinese book)

final exam and future adventure

29 may I wrote a final chinese test. And day after I already know the result! I passed.
I thought I won't becouse I had a nasty flu (I still have, that day I came only to write this exam). Somehow I managed to pass.

Now a journey to China next semester became a little bit more real. Suddenly we are told to do a lot of formalities "for yesterday". Crazy time.

Right now I just want to stop coughing...
