Welcome to China!

July 4, 2010 3 comments

After a 27-hour travel from Amsterdam to our Kungfu hotel in Zhengzhou China, we finally arrived, totally messed up, with a big jet lag. The plane from Bejing airport to Zhengzhou was delayed for several hours because of a storm. But from the moment we left schiphol, every day has been an incredible adventure. The people here in China love us! When we walk in the streets here, everybody watches us, smiles and waves, especially the girls ;-) . We are like Michael Jackson here! The food is good (very different from chinese food in europe) and we do what we want everyday. Our room is filled with stuff we bought in the enormous shops here in Zhengzhou and the shaolin temple. We’ve also been to a classical teahouse with our shifu (our shaolin kungfu teacher). It’s such an experience to be here. It seems that everything in china is broken. In our room, electicity and water goes on and off at random times throughout the day. The toilet is almost falling apart and we have ants in our room stealing our snacks. Even better is the traffic in China: there are no rules. Everybody just drives his car wherever he/she likes. Its a normal thing that cars drive on the wrong side of the road. And when people cross an extremely busy street with cars driving randomy everywhere, people just walk and wait in the middle of the road. I’ve even seen people walking on the highway. Its such a bizarre idea that there are no rules for traffic here. Also funny that people just throw their trash on the street here. Everywhere you walk you find trash. People dont care. Its almost as if there are no rules whatsoever here in china. Words just cant describe  the feeling. Just look at the photos and enjoy!
