Life and Travel in China

And I would like to wish myself and all Poles in China that Poland would become better recognizable. So that when asked where you are from, I don't have to repeat that I'm from Poland. They often don't know what country this is?! They don't even know that it is one of the largest countries in Europe and in the very center of Europe. They always just grimace or say, "Poland, a beautiful country" - just to be nice. And maybe soon, when I say Poland, someone will answer me "Aaah, Poland, Kubica". It doesn't matter, it may also be Szopen, Małysz, or Dudek, because John Paul II probably never was and will never be popular here. The idea is for Poland to have a logo, a business card, positive of course. A few months ago, in my wife's company, a Japanese man said, "Have you heard that twin brothers rule one country?" He didn't even know it was Poland. It's pathetic, why can't Poland promote and sell itself better in China?

Correction to yesterday's entry. In the evening, a guy on the subway talked to me, a guy about 40 years old, but he spoke English well because he had studied foreign languages ​​a long time ago. When I told him I was from Poland, he asked about Wałęsa. However, middle-aged and better educated people know something about Poland. After all, Wałęsa was there 16 years ago, we don't have anything new on offer? For so many years, no new logo, no new success, no new, positive character? Apparently not!

"The Chinese love Kubica" - this is the title in the Polish press, I also love Kubica and I am waiting for his successes in the middle country, good luck in Shanghai! I like the fact that BMW is promoting itself, and Mr. Kubica reaches out to ordinary people in Beijing and shows them his kindness, he is friendly, they perceive him very positively and will remember that it is the Pole who is so cool, no one else! It was similar with Mr. Pudzianowski, when the Strong Man competition was held in China a year ago in Chengdu, the Chinese were giving him high fives and getting excited about his achievements.

If the average Pole spent the time spent on political discussions and complaining on his job and did what he should be doing, we would be living in Eldorado! In China, most people are not interested in politics. Here everyone does their own thing, works hard and that's why it's getting better every day, incredible progress and development. I suggest the same! Let's get on with our work and let politicians discuss and choose themselves, that's the best. And when (God bless you) the president tells me today during the scandal with MP Beger that unemployment is falling, he probably means those thousands of young people who left the country, just like me, and changed the statistics. All politicians are worthless, you have to ignore them and do your job!!!

Kubica in Shanghai ended up in an unlucky 13th position. At the beginning he lost his position and dropped from starting number 9 to 17th place. Despite everything, he did great and halfway through the race he was already 5th. Problems appeared after the first visit to the pitstop, because our driver completely lost control of the vehicle and his car drove for one lap as if it were on ice (it was raining almost all the time). Even if I saw the wet track in Shanghai on TV, I wouldn't give Kubica dry tires, whose idea is that? Still, you can be proud of his driving! If it weren't for tire problems and having to pit three times, the Pole would have been in the top five.
