Crazy Last days in China

as i wrote last weekend was crazy in Hangzhou and next 2 days were the same...I was really tired from the weekend, i had to clean appartment, i had my
Farewell party - official one - there couldnt be all my friends, because lot of them were sick after weekend and also it was exam period...but i enjoyed this evening. Chinese meal, which i missed a lot when im at home and tasty cool sweet cakes.

Last day in China - Adams(MC MoC) birthday party, i really wanted to go there but it was too far from my appartment and also nex day was my flight back...so...finally i slept together with lot of ppl ion Devrims appartment - crazy and cool days in China. At this birthday party i met lot of my friends so i can say that i had 3 farewell parties, its quite good, isnt it?

Hot pot - typical one- really cool but surprise was little bit strange, shrimps - which were alive. It means that you have to put them into boiling water - as vegetable,meat,...its princip of Hot Pot, really strange but some of us enjoyed it a lot. To see how shrimp became red or pink...its ok to have it approximatelly 5-10 seconds, depends how big is it...
Birthday party without club is not birthday party - small group of us was going to explore night Shanghai, finally after long time we found some club, expensive...but we had smthg before...and we were dancing till they closed - i couldnt believe that clubs close at 3am. I wanted to go nonstop, but finally i was really happy that i slept few hours.

Airport

ok, 60km to airport, but i survive...i was really happy bacause boy at check in was really kind to me, i had about 15kg exceed baggage, but finally it was for free...
Saying good bye is everytime really hard and also strong ppl want to start cry. When i saw Frings, i had really different feelings i didnt know what to do, i didnt want to leave China...but after passport control it was done.
Flight was ok, really interesting - i was sitting at window so you can imagine when you look out of window and you see Siberia, lakes, snow, sea...i decided to sleep. Finally Paris, without delay...but after 3 hours waiting there - flight will be delayed 45 minutes, i was so angry...so close home and this happend...but about midnight i was at Ruzyne airport in Prague and i met my friends - again- different feelings. I realized that it finished. But when smthg is finishing smthg else is beginning.

Hangzhou - cool weekend, prepared by new extension

Amazing place and really smth different from big and crowded Shanghai. Reception weekend was prepared by ppl from new extenxion and it was very very good. We had sightseeinhg in campus, some warm-up games, which were very good and i will implement them also in Czech Republic, visit in bakery - we cooked and baked cakes and sweets - as before christmas - for me it was really normal situation but many of ppl who were there did this probably for the first time - very nice, shining eyes - as small children when they bake christams cookies for the first time. Really amazing.

In the evening, we had party - 30 bottles of light beer, but there were results. Some of us drunk beer for the first time in life - but we - foreigners - thought them how to do it :-) When there are foreigners from Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany, Australia and Colombia...you can imagine.
We played some cool games - fuzzy duck - ducky fuzz - really extreme game when you have some alcohol, lot of punishments and for sure bitches, bitches - really interesting. Its good when you are advanced player, punishments prepared by Carlos were sometimes really hard...After party, we(gils) wanted to go to our rooms (in china its not possible to be at dormitories, girls and boys in one building !!!) but, shit happen, there was n one at reception, neither sleeping in the room so we had to sleep in one room - about 11 person - room is for 4. Some of us didnt sleep - 4 hours - its possibnle, but in the morning...

Sunday - trip to west lake
it was rainign, we were tired so---some of us were in Starbucks and we saw only little bit form this amazing lake. Trip there or yourney was crazy, bus was too small-for our group it was ok, but no more ppl could enter, after party - drivers in china are quite dangerous and thei drive style - ok more less can kill you.
After trip, lunch in 100y (maybe more) old typical restaurant with steamed dumplings, we left back "home".

My last weekend in China was really good and crazy. Thanks to new @ members from Hangzhou and good luck.

Pyjama in winter? Luch time?…normal in Shanghai

Sounds incredible, In Shanghai, some parts of Shanghai its normal. Ok in the morning and evening, why not, it could be acceptable but when you meet ppl who have pyjama in the middle of day, at the street in restaurant or supermarket,…foreigners start to thin about it. Neither our friends from Shanghai dont know why is it. When we asked we got 3 different answears:

1.they dont want to change their clothes and when they wake up or before they go to sleep, they need something so they dont care about clothes…-but in the middle of day?

2. they want to show to everyone that they have enought money, they dont have need to go to work and that they can rest whole day

3. they dont care about fashion, they wear what is cheap and comfortable for hem.

Now, when its freezing in Shnaghai, there are also warm pyjamas !!! It seems really cool. I started to think about buy one. It seem really good J In pyjamas you can meet ppl in all ages, so sometimes its fun. Meet them in restaurant or in supermarket.
If someone of you have idea why is it so let me know.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower – 468 meters high


The Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower stands in Pudong Park in the new and developing Lujiazui district on the banks of the Huangpu River. The tower was once the highest building in the city but now, although it's spire reaches higher than the Jinmao Building, it pales in insignificance compared to its mammoth neighbor.
The design for the Tower incorporates eleven spheres (or "pearls") and three gigantic columns linking the green grass below to the blue sky above. There are six high speed passenger elevators (although there are usually queues) inside the column taking visitors up to the viewing platform which affords great views over the city. One of the most impressive aspects of the building is the lighting. A computer controlled system alternates the light on the tower dependent on the weather conditions.
Although the Tower has now been surpassed in terms of height and design, many Chinese still see it as a fantastic symbol of the new Shanghai. Photographs and Postcards of the Building when it was first completed illustrate the gargantuan changes that have taken place in a short space of time here.
When you search some info about Shanghai, first what will appear is Pudong area with its dominants – Oriental TV tower and Jinmao buiding.
At the pictures, its amazing, from distace and also when its close but reality is much more amazing and incredible. Really interesting building. I decided to be tourist so, why not to try the floor, which is in the space modul in 350m. When i saw the price of tickets, which allowes you to visit all floors(except restaurant) and museum of chinese history, i was like – shit, so expensive…but i dont know if i will have this unique chance in future so i spent 100RMB for ticket !!! But the view from all flooers was amazing !!! See whole Shnaghai from such a high, whole Shanghai(oh, part of Shnaghai) was at my hand.

And in every floor, there is exhibiton of world TV Towers,…do you know what is there? Pragues TV tower !!! I couldnt believe to my eyes…i saw my home J
Before i came to China, i was affraid from hights, but now…i think that its behind me. My next plan is Jinmao tower, 88th floor, 3rd highest buiding in the world, cant wait J

ZOO – sleeping panda , what a …

Finallly, we realized my idea to visit ZOO, according to informationa and photos at website i expected more, but its different culture here J The most important for us was to see panda, for some of us, it was for the first time in our life. But, we were there after lunch, so most of animals had rest after lunch and panda also but to see panda in its home country …its better that in zoo in europe, for sure. This zoo has alod style -i mean that most of animals are in cages and its hard to see them, not as in some zoo, when there is only water between ppl and animals and you ca enjoy them a lot.
Panda is really nice, also when it sleeps and looks like a toy. Very, very nice. Except panda, we saw also many of typical zoo animals as girafas, elephants, lions…and many kind of gold fish. Some of them were really strange, and most of them looked like they are pregnant,…but all informaiton there were in chinese…so hard translation.
And one more surprise – i found animal, its bird, whose mane is Lu ci – so you know that im not only Saint Lucy but also oficially animal.
For me, Prague Zoo and Zoo in Lesna in Czech republic are 2 most beautiful zoo, but they have one mistake – no panda there…
