My China...




I always dreamed about China, Japan... Throu God's will, my steps carried me away till I touched the sacred land of China, on a very hot but rainny day of June, the 19th, of the year of 2008.
In the morning of the June the 18th, at about 3 am, I left Constanta City, to Bucharest City, the capital of Romania, my country, heading for the Otopeni International Airoport.
At around 7 am I reached Bucharest, and after another half an hour, me and my family reached the Otopeni International.
Two hours later I was checking in, and I departed to China, via Budapest (Hungaria), Beijing (China) and Hanghzou (China) my final destination.
At the Hanghzou International I had a huge surprise: my luggage was lost in Beijing, due to the luck of professionalism of the stuff of Malev Airline, who told me in Otopeni International that my luggage should be picked up in Hanghzou, instead of Beijing. So here I am in China, with no luggage.
I was so lucky that the hospital stuff in China, where I was supposed to go with Catalin and his wife Zenovia, a wonderful christian couple from Iasi (Romania), was so nice and friendly. They picked us up from the airport, and gave us a ride till the hospital, where Catalin and his wife checked in and then took me to the hotel where I also checked in.
In fact, we all three had to check in to JinJiang Inn, me for a month, and Catalin for a couple of days. After two days Catalin returned to the hospital, where he got hospitalisation for one month.
So here we are in China, using the body language to order food, and clothes, as our luggage was still in Beijing. Took about 3 days to get the luggage. Hurray, we were so happy. 'Cause we got our luggage. My fine and clean underweare, my clothes, my parfume, my stuff...
The first contact with the chineese culture was splendid. They were so friendly to us. We went to a nice restaurant located at the 4th floor of the same hotel. We ordered so much food, we could not even eat. But we wanted to taste a little bit of everything.
Went back to our hotel rooms, my room was the famous 6517, the VIP one... yes, you are damn right. I was a VIP... and so I am, 'till I will probably pass away... but do not be so happy, 'cause I am not going to go in this journey so soon, so stay close!

During our stay in Cina everything was so nice... the food, the people, the sights, everything.

My friend Luca, the handsome and bright italian translator from the Stemcell center in Hanghzou posted on his blog an interesting and nice event called the Romanian Evening, and Intercultural Evening, where all the pacients of the 20th floor of the hospital were invited to taste a bit from the Romanian culture, to mingle and have fun.
The Intercultural eveing was a blast, a success. Me and Mr Besleaga and his wife, and Catalin and his wife Zenovia organised this splendid evening, under the kind and care supervision of Beike Co., with the extraordinary help of Luca Ricci, and all the Doctors and nurses and pacients too, and not in the last with the generous help of my Tasmanian friend ....
