Bus drivers in Nanjing I moved here to Nanjing on March this year, today I want to talk about the bus drivers here. They are always rushing, sometimes at the risk of running the red light. I'm sure the cameras on the road would take their illegal behavior now and then, but what I don't know is whether they could get punishment for these behavior. I understand sometimes when they waited for 5 red lights in 5 intersactions all the way, you find another red light waiting for you in the 6th intersaction, it's easier to get furious and come up with an urge to run the red light. But think about the people right there on the bus, the drivers really should think twice before they make a wrong decision. Besides impatience, they distain all the other vehicles in front of them, blaming on the drivers' bad driving skills, judging them, even rolling down the windows and cursing them, But when it comes to themselves, they can slam the brake on anytime they want, leaving all the passengers almost fell down. To tell the truth, I have been here for only 4months, but I encountered 2collisions and 1flameout. Each time when accidents happen, passengers like us have no idea but to step down the bus and find ourselves new ways to our destinations while the drivers busying quarreling with the other car's driver or simply waiting for the maintenance staff. Of couse some drivers are responsible and highly skilled. But for most other drivers, they should go back to driving school and learn from the basic work rules first.

do you like iphones? Today my friends and I were talking about iphone. As you may know, iphone series are very popular in China. I am living in Nanjing now, when I walk on the street or on my commuting route, I can see about 50% of the cellphones are iphones. In fact I don't quite understand about this phenomenon. iphones are small, so there can be may misoperations when using them, especially when typing the words or tapping the items on a website. Bigger phones are more convenient. Besides, the functions of iphone are no longer unique now, I mean you can find most of its functions available in other smartphones. But the price tag of iphone is never as lovely as its opponents'. In fact the iphone is getting more expensive each time the apple comes up with a new generation. Here is another thing I would add, apple company seems very protective about it's products, so it blocks many android softwares and apps away, it's even incompatible with Microsoft office, which has become an indispensible part of our lives . It's great to be an innovative company, but the sacrifice is hard for customers. I am currently using a domestically made phone, MX2, made by Meizu company. It's not as popular as iphone and even lacks of competitiveness when confronting with local phone makers, but I like it very much. It only costs 2500RMB when I bought it 6months ago; it looks elegant; the screen resolution is amazing, the company is low profile...I really think we should pay more attention to the domestically made smartphone companies. What do you think?

Monday syndrome Maybe because of the Monday syndrome, I feel bad today. The project get stuck now, the vendor and the customer are both pushing me so hard that I don't know how to handle it. To tell the truth, I don't have a degree in travel major, or much experience in travel field either, I look so stupid when my colleagues and vendors are talking about the matters I'm not familiar with, it feels awful. Another problem is about my character. Being a start-up employee, I can hardly be strong enough to cope with the troublesome vendor, who should probably be working to their feet with my requests. Unfortunatly, the reality is the opposite. How pathetic! Now back to my co-workers, my manager always expect me to know everything she takes for granted despite she never taught me anything at all. My co worker, on the other side, laugh at me whenever I make any tiny mistakes even it's not of their business at all. I really don't understand why they could be so harsh to me. Maybe this is the real career life, people can be mean and even vicious any time as much as they want, and I can do nothing but to improve myself, or just leave for a more peaceful circumstance. What do you think?

3years after graduation I have graduated from colleague for 3years and I kinda lost contact with my roomates recently. Some of them went to big cities like Shanghai and some went back to their hometown, most are small towns. Some get married and some gave birth to babies while others stay single or keep dating. I am currenlty working at a travel company, busy making itinerary for customers and desperating for time and money to achieve my own travel plan, My ex-roomate Hu married last year and got a baby several months ago, she fells blessed and is filled with happiness everyday. I envy her for being so happy and I'm thinking about taking a weekend to visit them, Shi and Wang(the other two ex-roomates) plans to join me on this brief visit. Here is a picture for you, it made my tears drop immediately after seeing it. FYI, the characters on the top can simply be translated as: we will be apart, please don't forget; we are leaving, let's cherish each other. I miss the days we spent together and I hope we are all on our way pursuing happiness.
