Offline for some time

For the past 2 weeks my VPN has not been working, I haven't been able to get on the blog or any other site that the Chinese government decided to ban a long time ago. For those of you who don't know: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Bogspot and many other are completely blocked here. Also include all sites with any sexual content.

But anyway, everything here is good but the weather has become pretty cold! Last week it was above 20 but this week close to 10 and this 10 degrees feels a lot colder than in Finland for some reason. It's always colder in China.

Kinda started missing home lately but luckily it's Christmas soon! Flying home on the 14.12 and will arrive in the night. Will be awesome to see all you people!

Been driving around on a scooter over 2 years now and this traffic really reflects on how people are here. No one cares about how others drive and no one watches out. Same goes for living here, no one will care about you if something happens, you have to push yourself to the last drop if you want something and be a mean and ruthless. That's just how it works, survival of the fittest. A good example. Look at this road, taxi stopped t drop of a passanger, the car behind tries to pass it but there is another one on the incoming lane. Neither of them backs off, they wait until the taxi is finished with whatever the driver is doing, a lot of honking and shouts. 2 minutes later the taxi leaves and the jam gets fixed. REALLY!

No wonder everything is a mess here when people don't care at all about others. Same things goes for hospitals, there are pepople who are hired to Que all day, then they sign a paper at the reception to make an appointment (In whomsoever name it was apponinted to). Problem is for the people who cannot afford to hire someone. Police is the same, I had stolen stuff, my friends had stolen stuff but nothing is done. Only if you pay them of can otherwise prove that you are someone important, things will happen. Just great. So don't lose your stuff, and if you lose it, well then it's gone. Also, get a health insurance so you can go to the foreign hospitals and avoid these "pay and que" things.
