The Chinese and the Jew

Once upon a time there was a Jew and a Chinese.
They met randomly in a library, that was an appropriate place to meet as there friendship was based on education, self improvement and work.
The Chinese met the Jew at a time in his life when he was on a decline. about to be divorced, and entering middle age.
The Chinese was a young woman who had just arrived on the shores of a foreign country. Her life was ahead of her full of joy and possibilities.
The Jew had a strange and unexplained feeling about the Chinese, and unconsciously dedicated all his energies to helping her with everything she needed to be done.
At first the Chinese was grateful, then a little dependent but eventually she became resentful and developed guilty feeling for accepting the Jew's work.
The Jew meanwhile worked diligently and non stop and produced wonderful results. Almost too good to be true at times.
The Chinese decided to improve her odds and go away to school. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJvRvIjCAx0
The Jew was sad that he would not see the Chinese as much but was very happy for her and he adjusted his way.
Three years went by quickly and the Jew heard often from the Chinese, she would send him her work and allowed him to share in her education.
However when the Jew insisted on attending her graduation with tears and pride in his heart the Chinese was angry as she was forced to explain who this old Jew was to her family and they had a big fight.
The Jew was sad but eventually the Chinese came back to him as a friend.
The Jew had spent many many hours trying to find the newly graduated student her 1st job..finally after many interviews the job arrived.
It was difficult but the Chinese persevered and did very well, meanwhile the Jew was having problems, he was alone, with no job.
He would take his frustrations and his problems out on the Chinese and did not realize the Chinese was too young and not emotionally available to help him..it got worse and worse and they fought again.
The Jew was running out of chances but could not see clearly. He loved the Chinese as a daughter but his problems grew worse.
The Chinese was always improving, growing and changing very quickly, the Jew struggled to keep up and asked too many personal questions.
He mistook the fragile friendship for an unconditional bond but he did not know that Chinese can change their minds and loyalties very quickly.
He approached a Taiwanese to help him, she tried and it was partially successful,
Again the Jew and Chinese collaborated and they produced a better job for the Chinese.
She moved into the big city found a Greek and now no longer wanted the Jew in her life.
He knew too much and asked too many questions.
One day a Korean appeared and corrupted the Jew. The Jew was weak but ran to the Chinese for help and to confess his sins.
The Chinese frowned upon his actions and decided he was no longer worthy to remain a friend to her.
The Jew cried and pleaded but was shut out, cut off and the great Chinese Wall came up.
The Jew could not find a way to get through the wall but continues to try and try and try...
This is where the story ends. Is there a happy ending or a moral to the story?
We are not sure.No closure.. Just history 1,825 days of a Jew and Chinese and the words and ideas they argued about and shared.
The End

Adventures In London

January 25
In London stray diary 1

Everything is the same as in the dream began. . .
Before the plane took off five hours, I was a company interview. Then my father sent me to the airport, I changed back to 300 pounds.
I am really very touched, father is love money better than their own people, even take the initiative to give me the money. . .

I was alone to London, compared to fewer schools collectively spent $ 200. But to the airport on the trouble, that there is no clue to往哪去.
The hands of the pack weight to my life, with my strength is not carrying the stairs.
Fortunately, the British gentleman, to see beautiful women on the help.
I will soon find the map and decided to do the MTR, four pounds to the city center on the hotel.

The school has given us five days of refuge in the hotel looking for an apartment.
I went to the hotel only to find my roommate did not come, the one person alone. . .
Due to the internship in London, so the dry suits and shirts instead. . (Not expensive hotels)
One way of occasional三四十-year-old is the Italian word that the man took me around the next urban area. .

Next is looking for an apartment difficult. . Most of the students living quarters schools, 140 pounds a week.
My accommodation and scholarships cover tuition fees, but does not include catering,
I put 4000 back accommodation, decided to live 100 pounds house
I really do not know in London to find a place to live so hard. .
Day five different owners, not too expensive and is too far away, but I do not like to live longer and an American student
And in the United States would be no different from the

The school arranged for 10 local people to help us find the United Kingdom.
I understand the gathering in the school called the British Andy, I appreciate very much his idea, and then said that he was willing to accompany me to find
We went to many sites, read a lot of houses, but one area in the city have more than 120.
Of course, also encountered a lot of interesting things.
Andy said he phoned the fifth day in the hotel, and friends, came back to his phone
Then he said, a room so I went to his room with him, saying that there is a new discovery
Feel a little strange.
He is the original and two friends, are school performances of British students, super Shuai! !
Then we chat room on American students, but also learn to speak of our school. . .
They said American students extremely foolish:
Where are you from?
New York City?
Where is that? Never heard of that.
Ridiculous. . . 9:00 when they and several girls in the United States to play a pub.
I said no mood to go back to my own room on the.

A stay in the house empty. .
The past few days, a person finally understand why the Chinese students in this general cohabitation
Can save half of the rent, will not be lonely again. . . .

Andy described the house is really cool, two French, one Italian, occupational doctors, bankers, as well as management staff. .
Three gold bachelor woman opening a can of worms Onsite registration
The owner let us write down the names so that they selected after a
I saw傻了眼,
Already have five names in the above, and add and I look at the house at the same time there are two girls
Alas, the war between women. . Forget. . I still do not play. .
The reasons for the small room, 120 a week, there should be at least six months since

Half an hour later, I went to another house, half an hour late
I fast at the station owner冻成the Snowman
The uncle did not mind a little, get a house I saw, but also to me to drink coffee. .
My room is very big, painted粉粉, the immense and very soft bed. .
Then we chat over coffee, he gave me a very low price but not to bring the boys home. .
And then said that before there is a woman living in China, of a smiling man upstairs, the result that men came to knock on the door
He put it off men also make up that he is a Chinese woman's fiance.
He was "sincere" and said that he would protect me, when I was younger, like
He also come up with a few photos that he married, the photograph of a woman, disheveled, one to see that this is not a decent woman. . At least younger than his three-year-old
I said she was beautiful, he said that right ah, very expensive. .
Sh *露马脚you. I certainly will not be such a strange person to live with you

No way, I go to Chinatown to buy a Chinese language newspaper
Find a place first settled. . Slowly looking for an apartment
I really do not know what is the business of migrant workers look like until I live in.
Very small room has been separated into two rooms, but also placed on the lower berth. . No heat, no toilet mirror, brush cup all share, and then can also be used to make tea
Kitchen range hood is not, the workers also is a 18 of smoking, the room has what flavor.
My room is small, only a pull down bar boxes, one box I could not walk on the cross.
The walls of two rusty nails are used to hang clothes, the owner of the fruit used is downstairs at night to sell the remaining水果摊rotten things
Owner is Northeast eldest sister, and her husband divorced, and now has possession of the contractor to do construction workers accommodation, the house separated into small among small, placed on the lower berth rent 25 workers a week,
A house 4-8 people. . . It is really appalling. . Her own room is also small enough to do every day to eat leftovers. .
There is no toilet tissue, a worker gave me a roll, a steal from her, in the hands of a stroke will be, and then ripped off a small twist handed me
I did not harm collapsed on the spot
I really never know in such a civilized society there are so many people live in
Take your own health and joking, eating those bad things, to live such a little fart house
To save money, spend more than one hours ride Bus, Subway has not
I can not stand this life of the total class of persons is such a thrifty person
Do not understand their own care. . Even the most basic protection to eat and to live not to meet, but also thinking of buying a new house rental
Lack of respect for ourselves too
However, she told me to very good, has been calling me baby, always linked in my hand, let me speak with her
But the house is too far from lost. . I have to hurry up and move

I finally make a phone that the Italians, he said that help
An hour later, he said that he helped me find the three places, all in the city center, and are below 80 pounds a week. . .
We meet in Oxford Street, and then he asked me to eat
I now live in a house that he described, in the city center, very cheap, very beautiful. .
He turned out to be a doctor, I have never asked him what to do, just listen to his faint that he engaged in health care. .
(To be continued...)


To mention a wooden box to Paris. .

Ideally, go to Paris travel hands carry a square wooden box, wear a black hat.
My journey without any baggage, passengers do not like the eyes of others like the awkward
2 hours of the Eurostar connects with the ancient appearance of the two bright inner cities - London and Paris.
Can not tell why. . Paris has never been too much passion. .
Only university friends have been to France when the heaven, lips all day long
I was wondering was this city has such a big attraction Mody. .
Another reason to go. .
Think of a language different cities to try their own viability.
To London, I do not have that preparation. . Map not look all hostels in which no check on the running of扑扑
As long as you would in English, you will not get lost in the city.
Here than in New York, the complexity of the way, but after a week you would be adapted. .
Later. . I think that you have to point challenging. .
Tomorrow morning. . A person to Paris. . I brought a map. .



"Pull away"

To Paris from the Eurostar to be pulling away from the airport
Then one person wearing a police uniform to a private room.
And I was brought up with a person
Their bloodshot eyes, dip in the suitcase is full of dust
After listening to only one will know, from the Kosovo nest holding a false passport but fool people. .
That is illegal and criminal suspects. .
我. . Detract from the fact that the United States to one of the students were locked in and terrorists! ! !
TM really a hell. . One can imagine the feelings I was
I really do not know I want a visa to France
That Britain's visa can be a passage in Europe.
I would like to explain that the French police, where are complaining tone
I have a green card student cards show him anything look
He said he wanted a visa摆摆手
Visa? ? Hell my school, never heard them mention
He checked my passport one would ease many of attitude. .
I can Say is Monday to the French consulate visa can be obtained on the same day.
Very friendly and then took me to Europe votes for Star Office
A train station, it was already a 8:00. .
To the opposite of the McDonald's to eat a breakfast
Is to miss the United States. .
First home search, mainland China's passport must be a visa to France
Many countries such as Korea, Japan and even Hong Kong are exempt
Is grossly unfair. . .

America's way of doing things to speed, on Saturdays all visa materials ready
In online booking of France in the British Consulate on Monday, 8:30
I must go! ! !

Monday early morning subway ride to the consulate
Can not imagine the long queues in front of me, at least 50 people, the streets are full of. .
It was half-past 8. . The rain a bit big. .
"France is particularly welcome it? So many people!" I am very ironic Say
The first one to stay in front of her sister, wearing a strange male Say
To him from Cambridge, the appointment is for 10:30. . Now on to the queue. .
Khan. . Worth it? . Feldman with it? . Not one in France. .
I lined up an hour the team finally received registration plates 676
老娘means we still have to wait an hour
I and the sister of the boys on the first fine in the chat
He was playing rock and roll, to New York full of goodwill
So we have big say how good the United States. .
Too happy to say the
I put my numbers lost platoon. . The registration plates to me an old woman stare Say
Finally today it would take one of those places now. .
NO wAY!!
Sister head and said give me proof that I make in the back of him
"676"
Taiwan passport holders of the results of the two people who approached the. .
Days啦. . Piracy was my brand
One old lady said behind the recall that I was waiting in her front
Let me say a few words and Cashier
Finally met a good man
However. Nightmare again
They checked my passport Say
I am in the UK visa in less than six months, can not do in London
"What do u mean? Do i have to go back to United States or China to get my Visa? That s the most ridicuous thing i have never heard ..
i cant believe it? Do you have any documentary paper show it ?........
Wronged and angry so that I can not control their emotions
I have to go as soon as possible to avoid and those rude French people quarrel with
Come out a little cry when
This morning there are two important lessons I did not go on. . .
Weekend of hard preparation
There are all European travel plans. . TM are ruined. .
The first street in London have the impulse to cry


London stray note 2

Al that doctors care, I moved to live opposite the British Museum. For him my decision was a surprise, he thought him bright and spacious visited the big house, I will move to his apartment for free.
He also said he would take the trouble of cooking every day for me, give me a separate room, an independent study. . . . Sounds like a good way, but there is no such thing as a free rice
Things do not get people to pay the price. So I have not the slightest need to move to the will of Him who lives. I was surprised how he will promise me that confidence.
1. He is such a great place to live because people do not want to be disturbed, are scheduled to have obsessive. Also super clean home! ! Khan! !
2. He cook everything what sandwiches ah, a little small, I Ball, I want to starve to death
3. He did get to 500 pounds when my gift. I suspect he is crazy! ! When I was a beggar or to do illegal business woman, my self-esteem has been injured too.
4. Morbid fascination with him, like me, and good-looking young woman, said women had a 30 that is waste. ~ Trash talents who say such things.
However, before个Korea really has a Japanese woman then lived in this, really do not understand their thought! !
Him but it is to attract me, that is, one of his French girlfriend in a most famous department store when the manager, he said the opportunity to help introduce my internship but conditional
This is my Achilles heel. . . I have always wanted to go the company. I was a bit exciting, but he did not find
He only said that he likes women so the least ambitious, and yet to find a good house, on the job looking for. Women should learn to enjoy
I want gone. . .

In fact, at that time I already have two companies offer, but not the clothing company.
Are the first consulting firm in the city center, all are what IVy, oxford master elite and they are all 30-40 year-old woman. They are still very good for me that I sounded terrible on the phone, did not want my rationale. Interview questions are to help make 300 copies of the survey, there is also a 10 page on the improvement in the Service's report. Before leaving one of them also placed special emphasis on her name, as I understand the way each and then let them help me put my list out of things to do.

Another company in my interview that day for a full hour late, the manager actually did not expect a cordial reception I would also like to ask me what to do? They will do their best and my professional related. The first time I have been such a courtesy. Then the company's director and I met, my question is would say Chinese, they have set up factories in Suzhou, China. And my question has any problems. I稀里哗啦that, in fact, to improve your web site building, Web site content are not enough. . . Not yet finished the director has his head, repeatedly say quite embarrassing ~ ~ Khan I forgot I was in England rather than the United States, but also address the chaos.

I really did not think they will accept me. . Ah regain confidence. Looking for a job in New York really hit the haired package

Yes of course I choose the second company, although not Marketing professionals, but I am willing to try are the people!
But my choice is right!
My job is really very happy, dull Navison with new systems, but before I have a lot of Excel, Access, experience, quickly learned. Really had a lot of confidence. .
The company gave me a lot of different tasks, including price changes to orders, as well as world tour exhibition design business rate are what allow me to apply (obviously do not know my accounting are an idiot!!)
This internship is really quite happy with a joke among colleagues every day, laughed belly hurt.
I do not know their own or have experience of the United Kingdom, unlike the United States less stringent job, I often boast very efficient. Me in the United States are just the opposite: (
Ha ha ~ London's street life is over!


I was home alone. A subway ride a little bit lonely, a packet of chocolate brought to pass the time. Side of the mouth to keep things can divert people's attention, and a full stomach, the brain will be lazy. Leaned across the seat of the couple together, the woman slowly very close under the men kissed the neck, an emerging idea in mind: tomorrow 靠靠 a hurry to find a boyfriend.

I rarely say no to the girls, so even if a very depressing day like today, I promised a girl to help her to meet about a Taiwanese boys. Is learning the art of girls, like most Chinese students, the cosseted, something all right in front of parents screaming telephone那头muttered and then not be able to know the director to go to NYU to study in the United Kingdom Department of good or a good read. I really find it hard to imagine such a shallow life experience to write what kind of work. The number of director experience to experience, the number of precipitation. . . .

Said she wanted to marry girls like, like Ang Lee's Taiwanese, Taiwan will tell my boys about this. However, I asked the people of Taiwan in advance or more preference for the people of Taiwan, setting aside politics to say the least, near them ~ ~. Woman, it seems very tense,关上房门half an hour later, I knocked next door, only she's changing clothes Thunderbolt Impala, a cheongsam, a small scare me. The door shut again, and finally put on a black skirt, low-key a lot. To a very fine patisserie, and then on the mainland of Taiwan, one did not take a ride and then went to Japanese Restaurant. Girls afterwards that she felt that the chat cafe so she felt a little ambiguous, emotional communication. I almost fell below glasses, said something Offhand really lucky, you can also live in a dream

I am very envious of the Chinese students studying in the UK, brand name bags, brand clothes, such as wrapped flowers also have their own flowery. Because the British do not give scholarships, not work, to a family background of the people all should be good. The United States and those of us poor students do not really have a lot of kind. Our life is on scholarship, and parents has nothing to do. My parents work very hard, very hard but we do not have any money, they can not give me a lot of material things, they do not understand English, do not know what I have learned professional, do internships, but I think they are very good good parents, because they gave me a lot of confidence and a lot of room to grow.

Do not know what to write, thinking of it jumping, you may end up the pressure big. Most worry about is a matter for the summer internship. Originally, when the work set in February, and I want to go Who knows a company suddenly interested contact me, and give me hope and uncertainty半丝. I am really caught in a dilemma. Do not want to be included in the original blacklist, and the wait傻傻also inconclusive results. Well, everything will be OK.

Tomorrow is a new day.
