6 hours from my flight back to hk... i can't believe time flies so swiftly!!!... 2 months just passed. last night i was very nervous, about leaving the country, about getting back to hk... (and also my luggauge... finally i managed to close the suitcase lar!!! yeah~) i was so excited to see HK dollars again in my wallet after 2 months!!! yesterday i walked around the city again and again, especially the Old Town. i sat at the Stare Miasto for a kebab under the sunset, i waited the clock of Royal Castle to strike at 7. i also went to some places that i missed before, eg university library (it's very nice!!! a lovely garden on the roof of the library!!! if law lib is like that jau ho lar...then i will study harder!!! =P ), tomb of unknown soilders, cementary (1 Aug is the anni of Warsaw Uprising in 1944), etc. people here are very very nice. when i said goodbye to my colleagues, i nearly cried... they have taken care of me for 2 months. brought me around, lent me clothes when warsaw fell into autumn months earlier than it should be, cooked me polish food, shared their lunch with me, shared with me songs, movies, photos of their families, had birthday and name day get-togethers... i have a sweet flatmate Ali (or roomate? as we should be according to the lease we had with the owner :P), buddy Karolina, friends like Robert and Michael, and all others trainees Neha, Carolina, Charlene, Stella, Ann, Herni, Eugene and more and more. nice memory in poland with all friends~ at start, i once thought that i shouldn't go to Poland, or India. but for whatever reasons, i am here in poland and 2 months passed lu. i am more proud to be a chinese and happy with my HKSAR passport (as some of you know, i only got this passport few weeks before coming to poland, just because i dont need a visa). i love our culture. i love the way we are. i see no point why there should be globalization of cultures. i feel a lack of 'polish culture' here. i can hardly listen to a polish song here on radio, simply none. all shops play english music (esp US). it's really sad. i also see people here who are ignorant of the world. ignorant of their own position. ignorant of that they should seek their own goals and interests in life rather than following people. a lack of self-reflection. and a lack of respect for people with different interests and cultures. shouldn't put one standard and judge others by that, right?
majority may not be correct, and majority here can be minority in another country. even within one community, diversity is also a value~ but i also met people who see all the problems of their country and are trying hard to change it~ and sense of history is so strong here. all things were destroyed and rebuilt. 85% of the city was destroyed in the war... the Old Town was simply rebuilt but not original for me, i also learned a lot. open my eyes to a totally exotic country. reflect about my values, my culture and my interests~ and of coz, taking care of myself lar~ COOKING lar! though i still can't make a sunside egg... why the yolk always ng keep the beautiful shape and why egg white flows around the pan ga... ><
but i can make some nice meals ga lar~ yau mo yan yau interest lei??? ng wui die ga bor :P ok~ 2 hrs from leaving the flat~ =) |
