Dream stayed in Europe

2011-07-01

 
I met a hot and humid weather when I landed at Hong Kong airport, after that I met 90th anniversary of Communist Party of China when I arrived in Shenzhen. Nowadays China is a red sea, you can see many red banners outside, you can listen to red songs on the radio and TV – I plunged into the red world. I had to work the next day after I came back, and I got sick. All the bad things made me miss the time in Europe.

We feel the enthusiasm when we stayed in Poland: Jarek, Uncle Maro, Anna…..they gave us big help. I think we are cultural envoys between China and Poland. We made new upsurge of the friendship and cultural exchange between two countries, but all these are grass-roots action, and we hope we will be able to get support from governments.

We brought ChoP project to Brno and Berlin after 3 gigs in Poland. It’s the first time ChoP went to other country in addition to China and Poland. I think this is a significant tour for ChoP and I hope we could go further. I like Brno, an ancient and tranquil city, it’s like Gothenburg (in Sweden) at night, sparse pedestrian and cold weather. Milan Kundera, the great writer was born in Brno and because of this I like Brno but I have no more time come to understand this city. It’s a pity.

Berlin is so cute. I’ve wanted to go there for many years. Berlin is a place where order and disorder coexist. Monday to Friday you would find cleanliness and order, but starting at Friday night Berlin becomes crazy. It’s a city good for a big party. All young people come out, drink and get drunk, everything is chaos, everywhere is a lot of garbage in subway stations. People eat and drink and smoke in subway stations. Pigeons and dogs pass in and out subway, you even smell odor of urine – no rules and no control at weekend. Total FREEDOM. I love Berlin – we all love Berlin.
