After three weeks in China, now I am back to Finland. From a warm winter place back to a snow and cold place.;(
Three weeks passed so quick, I dreamed about the time to come for a long time but it just came and passed so fast... But I am still enjoyed my trip back to Beijing.
First I felt that there are more and more people in Beijing, everywhere is so crowded, maybe because I lived in some place where has not enough people. And this time I felt that the pollution is quite seriously bad in Beijing, although government tried hard to get clear sky back... I saw some of the constructions for the Olympic games, personally I do not really like the design of the national opera house next to Tian'an men square, looks a little bit like a big fly's eye.:( One thing is good now in Beijing, in order to get less private cars on the road, now the public transportation only cost RMB 0.4, it is about four euro cents. I can not imagine what you can do with the four euro cents(some of the european country even stopped using one and two euro cents), but in Beijing you could take the bus for quite a long distance.
I like to see my parents again,I have not seen them for one than a year. Though I am so far away from them for quite a long time, I still feel I am quite attached to them.Just like the chinese saying " Children just like the kites, no matter how far they fly, the thread will always be in the hand of their parents." It is just a very exactly description about the chinese family relationship, although it is changing now... I know it might be difficult for others to understand the traditonal chinese relationship, well time is changing and old things are changing too...
To meet my friends I felt very happy, we have more than ten years friendship and can call each other really old friends. Now this year will be the last year in our twenties, we celebrated together and Johnson (a girlfriend of mine, but I like this name for her, hope she will not feel offended:) bought a good cake, which we enjoyed together. We talked and laughed about the things that happened while we were still in school, and now some of us are already become mama...... The topics are changed, no one talked about idols like ten years ago, instead of it we talked more about life,work,baby,marriage....
Afer all, three weeks I had quite much fun. I have had lots of chinese food which I dreamed about for a long time, hope I will not put on too much weight.
Now, I am arranging all the things about moving, again I am coming back to China. Feelings are mixed, future is always good, at least I work hard for it!
