Disappointed from the Gym

The gym I go to here doesn't have a separate room for the classes, they occur in the middle between the runners and the weights. Stupid me- I forgot to check which classes they have today, and when- to avoid the noise of the loud music they love putting for aerobics classes and such. So I arrived at the end of the quiet Yoga class, was able to enjoy my i-pod for exactly 15 minutes, and then the stupid aerobic class started. With loud music. Really loud. Really really loud. Just like in a club. And terrible music. Worse than the clubs.

I want / need QUIET!!!!!!!!!

NOISE!!!

I'm so sick of the noise in this country!!! It's unbelievable!!! Not just that they honk their stupid horns in the streets all the time, day and night, all week long, this morning my neighbours upstairs were banging with a hammer or whatever for more than 3 hours!!! Just imagine 3 and a half hours of non-stop banging on your head!!! I was trying to sleep through some of the time and then I gave up, but even being awake with this kind of really really loud noise is terrible!!! I'm gonna try to go to the gym- maybe that will get me a bit relaxed....... I don't get it- how is it that a whole country just loves noise??? What is it about them that they are so loud and noisy? If most of them aren't already deaf - they will be soon.

The Chinese way of skiing

Here are some examples on how to do things
in a Chinese fashion:

Number 1

This Chinese family was probably cheap on the skiing guide.
But they still wanted their young girl to learn how to ski.
If you were Chinese, what would you do?
Well - first you'll put the girl on skis of course.
Then you'll call mommy and tell her to stand in front of the girl-
to give her a hand on the way down,
mommy will probably hold all of her belongings in her hands,
and that will include 1 big bag, one small bag and a million paper bags.
Then you'll call Auntie.
She will come to help from behind- just in case the girl falls to that direction.
Auntie will have some bags of her own,
and will most probably wear high heels in the snow.

Number 2


As suitable for Chinese maintenance
the button lift stopped working,
at least once a day.
Why did it stop?
Well that's because Chinese ppl love things that don't work.
They love cheap things. That do not work.
Now, if you were working in a Chinese ski resort,
and the lift stopped working,
what would you do???
of course! You will climb up on the lift,
notice the cable is out of its place,
take a hammer, and start pounding the cable back to its place.
In this time, and it can take about 30 min,
the skiers will just have to do without a lift.
So what if they paid shitloads of money to be there???

Number 3


While waiting for the lift to work again,
some ppl were more creative than others.
Most just took their skis or snowboards off,
and just climbed the 300m with their boots.
Not very nice (from experience), but not the end of the world.
But some thought it'll be more intelligent to leave the skis on,
and just push themselves up the mountain.
Guess what???

It didn't work!!!
