Bonnie and Clyde.

I have not watched any musical play in a cinema before in my life. Bonnie and Clyde was the first play I have watched. In the beginning I have no idea or I do not know about the play at least one point, it was totally strange play for me.
The play was was announced that it will be show on time witch is 9am in the morning. When I arrived the cinema I did not enter the cinema house because a lot of people were waiting there, then I was told that the actors and actresses still need to prepare for a while until the show will perform. That time I did not get it why the actors knew there will be a show of them but they did not prepare in advance and let the people who paid for the tickets wait outside the cinema. The cinema is located at the college of education building , 4th floor . The ticket cost me 100 pesos , but it was already with discounts I think. Not expensive, but I was expecting a good show from them . They made the ticket full of pictures and instructions of the roles, actors or the actresses. And there is signature on the ticket and small stamp on the ticket.

I signed the attendance list on the paper for my section and then felt in line of the check in process. There were two girls stood beside the cinema gate and collected the tickets for checking in, one of the girl held a pair of scissors for cutting the small corner of the tickets where has a small stamp in order to let the ticket holder enter the cinema, and the other one held a paper box to contain those small corners. After I entered the cinema, I found out that the cinema is not big only could contain maybe around 200 plus audience and the temperature in the cinema was low because there were four air conditioner operating at the same time. Before I sit down I went to adjust the fans of the air conditioner so that it can not blow at me directly. And another thing is I came to there prepared because I brought my jacket just in case of it is too cold for me . I was afraid of I can not understand what the play want to express what kind of effects so I checked out some documents and comments of the film and elements of Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde were American outlaws and robbers from the Dallas area who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. At times, the gang included Buck Barrow, Blanche Barrow, Raymond Hamilton, W. D. Jones, Joe Palmer, Ralph Fults, and Henry Methvin. Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the "Public Enemy Era", between 1931 and 1935. Though known today for his dozen-or-so bank robberies, Barrow preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians. The couple were eventually ambushed and killed near the town of Sailes, Louisiana, in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, by law officers.

  In the beginning the actors and actresses were show up by singing and dancing, that's why it is a musical play of course, though then singing sounded nice but I thought they were just follow the lyrics and pretended singing, but after while I found out I was wrong, they sang by their real voice, that is really nice, because they sang the songs very good I think, that is why they said one minute on the stage, ten years under the stage. It means the actors should pay for a lot of efforts in order to perform better during the show.

Because of the delay , the show was last more than two hours , when the end of the play it was almost 12 o'clock . During the show there were some technical issues like the mic phone did not work very well and the stage property had to be removed by the people themselves , the lights effects not that professional ,etc. But I think the entirely play was not bad, at least it was my first time to watch a musical play in a cinema.
But next time hopefully I could watch a much more professional show perhaps even it would cost me more.

Medical and maid services.

Medical services, or the hospitals, are one kind of the symbol of the development level of a country. The medical service level, has a huge part to decide people's life and death. Imagine how important it is. I thinks the medical service levels would be developed with a country's construction development. I heard about that for the Philippines the dentistry and nursing programs are very good in the world even before I came here in the Philippines ,and even it is a third world country. Lots of people have been to the Philippines for studying the dentistry or nursing courses, of corse I am saying about the foreigners of the Philippines. They spent around eight years for getting the doctor degree of dentist license or the license of nursing.

I have not been to the best hospital of the Philippines ,of corse I don't even want to go the a hospital. But I did have the experience of medical service at the hospital of University of Santo Tomas. I felt the service there in the hospital of University of Santo Tomas was not bad but they charged me around 3000 pesos for the service was really made me feel bad cause I think it was slightly high for me. I got hurt in a basketball game ,the game was a physical one because of some of the players are playing dirty. One of the player from the opponent team broke my gate teeth. Except saying that he did it intentionally or not. I was sent to the hospital of University of Santo Tomas after then. When I arrived there, a nurse approached me immediately and helped me by his arm to sit on the chair, and quickly he led me to a sickbed . He asked me about what was happened and then went to call the doctor. After while ,a doctor came in with medical equipments . The doctor checked my lips and the situation of my teeth, asked me something about what happened also. He told me fortunately my broken teeth did not get in to my lips, but the broken level of my teeth were not well. He cleaned up the blood with normal saline, disinfect my wounds and let me rinsed my mouth. He told me to use some anti inflammatory drugs and rinse my mouth these day. After the doctor left, I was asked to take an X-Ray picture for my broken teeth there were few people waited outside of X-Ray room. I saw the signs of "caution", "x-Ray" and the symbol of the nuclear. I thought the equipments of X-ray should be in advanced or at least high level, but when I enter the room and I found out it is an old machine and like a historical mark. It did not take me a long time, I finished the photo-shoot and went outside the room very quickly, cause it want to stay away from the radiation because it is really harmful to your health. Suppose I have to repair my teeth here in the Philippines, but after I asked my friends about the charging here in the Manila , I decided to repair them back in China, it is not only because of the price but also because I think it is difficult to communicate with the foreign dentists for me. So considered that I was not in a hurry, I then went the the clinic just let the dentist killed the nerves of the root of my teeth and stopped the pain. Next is to repair my teeth back to China during my vacation.

Let me talk about the maid services or we can call that the job of maids. It is the professional ,focus on the jobs of house keeping or babysitting. The first six months I was living with others in a dormitory in the Philippines . All of us are Chinese ,the house owner owned the entire floor of that building, there are ten units in the floor, and the units were divided into several rooms. The owner hired three maids for helping him to clean the rooms everyday and also help the tenants to do some daily house works.
The maids are doing house works regularly everyday, they clean up the floor,clean up the kitchens ,wash up the cloths and brush the toilets, delivering the bill payments, etc. Once I asked one of the maid who is in charge of the works of my room, I curious about why did she choose this kind of job, she told me that she did not finish her high school studies because the poor situation of her family. She said a lot of people chose this kind of job cause some of them do not have other choices, some over sea Filipinos are professional maids, got high paid, the maids got high paid probably went through the professional training programs, they are expecting the better performance in exchange the high salary. I also have friends, they hire maids for his or her family, the normal maids are not affordable for the family usually. The maids provide necessary house keeping services, and the babysitting services. Because of the professional level of the maids, some people from overseas of the Philippines ,they hire maids from here made the maids job famous around the world.

Hot pot trips.

  Hot pot,maybe it is the normal English term for a popular food style in China. In Mandarin Chinese language, we call it Hu Guo. Hot pot is really popular in China whatever which season it is, especially during the winter season of mainland. Of corse,there are many ways or versions that we can experience the hot pot around the world,but I only know how to cook Chinese hot pot and experienced the services of Chinese restaurant before I came here in the Philippines. So since I came here in the Manila ,Philippines,I have been to King One hot pot restaurant several times and also the David's tea house for eating the hotspot once. The hot pot there both in King One and David 's tea house. Are Hong Kong style .there are differences between the hot pot that that I have ever experience in China before.

For the King One hot pot restaurant ,it is a hot pot buffet restaurant ,the waiters greeted us once we entered the door, we one of the waiter led us picked up the seats and there are already meal equipments on the table, waiter clean the table up again and settle down the spoons and folks for us according to how many people are going to dine in around this table. Then the waiter let us checked the menu ,the menu does not include too much commands/orders,only some orders which are need to cook for a while like silkies (black boned chicken )pot ,desserts,etc, the rest of them are drinks ,including soft drinks, tea drinks and shakes,etc.

Usually the hot pot buffet is 599 php for each,there are still some additional cost if you want to have other orders. I ordered the water melon shake cause I think that is the best pair with the hot pot. But actually you could change your drinks once you got the glass of your drink, it was like self service . The waiter served vinaigrette and soya sauce, he cut the garlic,green onions,chili into small pieces before put them in the small bowls . I mixed my sauce by two small bowls, one is the regular taste ,the other one is spicy sauce. I did know how hot is the chili then I tasted a little bit of my sauce it was impressed me, really spicy! Maybe because they cut them into small pieces so the spice elements just ease out. Then I went to picked up my foods,there is a food chain in the dining lobby, waiters are putting different meats,vegetables and meat balls into small plates.only limited pieces vegetables or meat balls are in the plate,the advantage of that kind of way is it can save food for avoiding waste of source. And also, whatever how much you want to eat, it is your call to decide.
I found out local people ,they do not prefer eating lamb meat for the hot pot, but for me ,it is like a necessary if there are lamb meats available. The rest of kinds meats are beef,fish,pork, chicken,etc. Not only meats, aside from them, I actually prefer vegetables, I ate lots of vegetables not only because I think it is delicious, but also it is good for my health. I could say the taste of King one is nice, Hong Kong style hot pot, one of the characteristic is fresh,the meaning of fresh here is the original taste of the food itself,whatever is it, lamb ,beef, fish, or the seafoods, you could enjoy the fresh taste of them, it is depend on you whether eat them with the mixed sauce.

Aside from King One, I have been to David' s tea house once for eating the hot pot there because of the treat from my friend. Unlike the buffet hot pot in King One. David's tea house provide the Hong Kong style Shabu Shabu by bordering the foods which you want . Different kinds of meat , vegetables,seafoods are listed on the menu. After we settled down the waiters went to prepare the ingredients of the hot pot. They served the ingredients of hot pot and stand just not far away from the table just for waiting our orders. The sauce there is tasted even better than the sauce in King One. We could put any foods in the pan since the hot pot boiled. Also the soup of the hot pot is delicious. The meat balls in David's tea house are tasted nice vegetables are fresh,and the most memorable food for that time was the living prawns, the prawns still jumping up in the plates so the waiter has to cover them with another plates, before the waiter put them into the pan, some of the prawns just jump into the hot pan themselves. And just need a while they are already boiled became into red color and ready to eat, it tasted very yummy and even had a little sweet, that means the prawns were totally alive fresh. David's tea house will operate from 10am until 11pm for the hot pot, and it also have another fine dine in lobby for Hong kong foods.

Hong Kong style hot pot is nice ,and so do the Hot pot in mainland China, they do have their own characteristics. Sometimes I desire hot pot so much then I will cook it by myself, even the hot pot is differentiated by different regions, but people do enjoy the hot pot.

Travel with Trains.

  I have taken the train here in the Philippines once, with my friend, just for experiencing the feeling of the trains here. The trains here in Manila are poor old and lagging. I even can hear the sounds of the trains here in my living place. They ring the horns everytime when the train will pass the streets and roads. Trains here are slowly move and just like the trains in the movies that I have ever seen, almost all the southeast Asian countries have the same situations like the trains and railways are very undeveloped, people crowd in the carriages and most of them do not have a seat. Almost all of them catch a bag or baggages, like the traditional business men, they carry their baggages to every where and do their businesses.

  Beside the railways, there are a lot of houses that people live in and the railways themselves even do not that formal, grasses grow around the railways and garbages are every where surrounded the railways. The station is even much more poor, some of the stations even do not have any covers. People stand on the station and wait for the train when ever it is hot summer season or it is rainy season. The railways are simple, you can say you could go to anywhere by taking the trains. It just cross the city, not the main transportation services could be use. Only fews of people use it.
  So, compare the trains in the Philippines, the trains in China are in the much more higher level. The services on the trains are much more HIGH，I could say there is no comparison. Chinese railways have many many routes, they are distributed in every cities ,people travel with trains everyday, the Chinese railways net are the second to the largest nets in the world, and China High Speed Railways are the first in the world. There are too many things about Chinese railways to talk about, but I will not to talk about it here.

  When I was young, I traveled with my parents back to my hometown, which is Guilin, GuangXi province in the south of China, it is very far away from the place we were living.  We took the the train from Beijing Xi station, because the trip would cost us around 30 hours, so my parents bought the berth tickets for us. The berth ticket means there are assigned beds on the train with the number on the ticket, so we could have rest on the beds during night time. Imagine 30 hours on the train, it was a long trip on the way. After we entered the carriage, we found the assigned number of our seats and beds, they were jointly. We settled down all of our baggages, wait for the start of the train. Most likely, people should go to the rail station at least 30 minutes before the train departure. Since we got a lot of baggages ,my parents took me to the station 50 minutes before the train departure. After while of the train started, the radio in the train broadcasted the greetings to all passengers and wish us have a nice trip with the train, introduced the station that the train would approach and stop and the time ,shcedules for the train. After that the attendant approached us for collecting tickets, instead of ticket, she gave us a hard card for reminding us to exchange the tickets before we get off the train.  There is a unique carriage of the train built for the restaurant, not only the restaurant, but also the train provide foods sending by the attendants, snacks and drinks are also available on the train, even in the station that the train going to stop, there are a lot food corners and food carts. So, do not woory about what to eat and drink during the long trip. Every carriage has its own comfort room and the attendant will clean the comfort room time to time. There are also small televisions on the train, video some advertisements and films. If the train will stop at some stations during the night, do not worry because the train attendants also provide the wake up service.  During the day time, along the way, train stop one station, and passengers are allow to get off the train for a while and experience the local special foods or buy the souvenirs. And of course , appreciate the sightseeing along the way.

  Nowadays, China railways even more developed, we can travel everywhere without to take the train. Chinese trains now have several kinds, High speed rail, intercity EMU trains, bullet trains ,direct express train ,express fast train and the normal train.  The railways are like the symbol of development of China, they provide the first class servive in the world and it will become more and more better.

Buffet trips.

  People like buffet of course. For those people want to experience diffent food styles or food cultures, buffet is the best choice suit for them. And of corse for those people  wanna experience that and while they have a big stomach, it will not be much better that made a choice to have a buffet. Well, I expeienced several times of buffet, both in China and in the Manila, Philippines.The service of the buffet resaurant are different between the China and Philippines, though, I would like to share my experience and talk about what do I think about the buffet that I have ever experienced.

  The first time I got to have a buffet was in my country .But I will talk about later. That was the first month I came here in the Philippines, I do not familiar with the places outside of my living place, once I got the chance ,I was invited to joined my friends to go to the popular chain buffet resaurant, which is Yaki mix, greenbelt,makati,Manila. I was very happy because I am a fan of buffet, especially gor that time ,it was the first time for me to have a buffet in a foreign country. While we entered the gate of the Yaki mix, there were waiters and waitress greeted us, and one of the waitress beside the cashier desk is the usher, she asked me how many people do we have, how many are we going to have the meal. I told her we got four only. Then the usher led us to a sofa seats and settle down the plates ,spoons and folks. She asked us what kind of drink do we want to order . I ordered ice tea, and the same as my friends. It seems like the similar procedures in the fine dine-in restaurant. Then the usher left went to prepare the drinks. I did not used to eat with the spoon and folk, I asked my friends and they told me there are chopsticks available. I went to picked up some pairs of  bamboo chopsticks and settled them on the table. My friends were not the first time to be there in the Yaki mix, they left to picked up their favorate foods, and I also dicide to start the fresh buffet trip.  The Yaki mix provide diffent styles of food, including the Chinese style, Korean style, American style, Japanese style, and Philippines style, etc.The restaurant was fully furnished by the owner, sofa seats and chairs seats are available, I think the area must be 300 plus square meters. Most of the colored walls are shallow yellow, red , green,etc. The effect was for making a fine dine-in space for the customers. And to attract people to come again.

  The diffent styles food were put in the big metal dishes and some of them were put in the big warm pans, bowls. The Chinese style which are eggplants with garlic sauce, tofu, spicy chicken,garlic beans,etc. But to be honest , I think even it is Chinese style, it tasted not like the real one, but still not bad. Korean kimchi is the welcomed but for me not really prefered. American style, of course, including the western meal. Beef steaks, pork steaks, french fries,and the sandwitches, but it seems like people go there not for those kinds food, because you do can buy those anywhere else aside from the buffet restaurant. Some kinds of seafood are very welcomed, like the fried prawns ,it is crispy and little saulted, delicious with nice outlooking, the fried prawns always run out of the dishes in a very soon. The crabs there also taste good, but the crabs themselves were not really meaty maybe because the boss want to save the money , reduce the cost. The most welcomed seafood is the fresh oyster, a kind of shell but full of nutitions and minerals, it is good for men's body. The fresh oyster seems like limited everyime but still a lot of people waiting there, just for get some pieces of fresh oyster. The cooker baked the fresh oyster with garlic and oil. Try to exposure the taste of the original oysters. People like sushi and sashimi .The Japanese style food, two of the famous foods in Japan, it is well known that Japanese diet very healthy and do not to waste any chance to eat the things without heating or cooking. That is the reason why, it is better to eat wasabi at the same time when you consume the sushi and sashimi. The wasabi could help people to kill the germs in case of the real fresh sushi and sashimi. The sushi chefs were busying with making different kinds of sushi, people walk around and get some sushi and sashimi everytime. When I passed through the zone of steaks, the cooker asked me if I need some steaks or not, the beef and pork steaks smelled nice and every bar is not big.But the cookers were like suggested me to have one, then I decided to have one. It was tender and tasty.
  After almost one and half hours, I felt that I already full and cant enjoy any more of the buffet, I tried different food styles and even the soup, desserts and the icecream. I drank almost five glasses of ice tea and felt the Yaki mix is nice ,it made me want to come again next time. The price of lunch buffet is 499 each, but for the dinners, it says 569 each for that time.
  Actually ,I did ,I went to Yaki mix sometimes after that, and I noticed that there are still other branches of it.
  Compare with the buffet in China, the local buffet resaurant is more or like the food trips of Chinese style only, because even Chinese style, it also has different cliques, like the style of Dongbei, the style of Guangdong, the style of Zhejiang, the style of Hunan,etc. And the buffet restaurant also provide western style food like fries, pizza,and cakes.
  Still the same word, they all have their advantages.So just enjoy the buffet trips.

Movie house.

  A lot of people have the experiences to a theater for wathcing a movie. It is a nice way for entertainment.Maybe since the first time watched a movie in the theater, people just became the fans that have the joyful feeling in the cinema. Indeed, nowadays, the great movies or great works most likely that you must watch them in the theater in order to experience the sounds effect, the music, the dialogues among the actors,the emotion that the actors want to express to the audience.  Therefore, because of the needs of people, theaters are more developed time to time, and the services of the theaters do have improved a lot from time to time too.

  In the past, if a cinema announcef that there will showed a film, people have to buy the film tickets at the counter, and of course people have to fall in lines. I am saying the most common way of buying a film ticket. Aside from the tickets, there probably will be nothing else for a fan to watch film in the cinema. As time goes away, theaters are much more developed than before. Mordern media makes ways for spreading the news of movies. Before the movies are public showing, a lot of short previews or advertisements of the movies would be released to people. For the fans of watching films in the cinema, expectations would be high during the said time. So theaters provide reservation of the film tickets straightforward. Although the price of the reservation would be more expensive than the regular tickets,but it is still attractive for a huge part of fans of movie. Bonded with the reservation, the fans of movies maybe would receive extra benefits from it, like the film poster, snacks, frinks or the model of the roles in that film. Nowadays , aside from the reserve the tickets from the theaters themselves, they also provide online booking of the film tickets. Log in the website of the theaters, book online and get the tickets from the vendors where are located inside the theaters before the showing schedule, or just get them from the counter of the theaters, save time indeed.
  The advantages of online booking for the film tickets, obviously, one is saving a lot of time from people who are fall in lines and wait in front of the counters. Because sometimes, it is finally your turn but maybe , unfortunately, no more seats are available. But for online booking, people could choose the seats where do they want to sit during the show, and the schedules of the movies ,just by their own sight and will. As long as there are available conditions. And usually there are bounded foods or drinks with online booking, maybe popcorn, soft drinks ,etc.

  For the theaters, before people watch the film without 3-D technology, they watch movies can just feel the sounds, see the scenes,etc. But with the 3-D technology, watching movies in the theaters like it could let the people themselves in the real environment of the movies. For a better experience of 3-D shows, theaters provide the 3-D glasses for customers and only for those watch movies in the cinemas. Right now, theaters even have I-MAX motion picture film format. 4-D, 5-D technologies, etc. You will never experience those hi-techs at home but in the theaters. Also, some of the theaters provide the customize services, especially during the slack seson of movies, for example, there is no expected great movies to be showed in a short period, some rich guys go to the cinemas and bought all of the seats for a paticular time period for wacthing movies.
  And because of a lot of theaters operate 24/7 nowadays, once I went to a cinema around 11 pm with my friends, films showing while there are only few peoples. We watched different films at the different show rooms, we went through all night for watching the movies. We paid once but watched 4 times of different movies, what a wonderful and memorable experience we had !
  As long as time flies, theaters will develop much more services in the future, they would provide the fans more and attract more people to become the fans of watching movies in the theaters.

Express services.

  Nowadays, express is really a common business and services for the people. I have not experience any express services here in the Philippines but, I would like to talk about the services of the express companies in China.
  With the rapid economical development, China's online shopping is more and more popular. Thus , it makes the express businesses more and more needed by the people. Whatever the sellers and the buyers of online shopping. The services of express companies benifit the customers around the world. Because people nowadays in China, they buy things online not only limited within China, but also buy things from the overseas. There are several big companies which are professinal in the express services. The very first one is the EMS, Express Mail Service is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal postal Union(UPU). These administrators created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide.As of January 2015, EMS was offered by more than 190 countries and territories worldwide.

  I have to talk about the very own by Chinese local express company which is Shun Feng Express. SF Express, China's largest private delivery services firm in the mid-end market, is expanding its business in the supply chain where it builds e-commerce platforms in the upstream and trying to earn a share of the e-commerce logistics market, while also growing operations at its community stores, the Guangzhou-based Southern Weekly reports. I do like its professional services. Although the service charge of  SF express is the highest among the private express companies.But they do let people satisfied with their servives. Rely on the solid reliability, it is already became the magnate in the service of express business, it occupied the largest part of rge market of express businesses, SF even has their airlines ,SF has a fleet of 31 cargo aircrafts, of which 13 are owned by its subsidiary SF Airlines.
  SF express has picking up from home services.The couries are uniformed and well trained. Accurate and fast served,I usually call for express services from SF express, because they could send the expressage or your package as soon as possible. Where ever the destination is, the package or expreessage would be there just on the next day of sending date. Usually , one city has several branches of SF express and they located in differant areas of the city. The couriers , they are assigned into different areas also, it depends on how they familiar with the area . The high familiarity has much more advantages for a courier. Couriers have different mission and tasks, not only deliver the expressages but also collecting the expressages every assigned locations. Picking up from home and they also have to contact the potential customers in their assigned areas. The service charge probably around 180 php for the first kilogram of the expresage. Every exceed kilogram would be charged around 70 php. One of my friend is the courier of SF express, he told me that actually in this kind of express company, the more works the couriers do, the more benefits or you can say salary the couriers will receive. Especially during the holiday, because for the couriers, technically they do not have holidays uhnless he does not want to earn more money on that day.

  There are other express companies, Shen Tong, Yuan Tong, Zhong Tong, YUN Da, Tian Tian , etc.They are also just focus on the expressing services business. But the quality of their servicesnot as well as the quality of services of SF express. They are commonused or I can say, they ae cooperate with a lot of online stores because their service charge are much more lower than SF express. The price is only half of SF express' s.
  The usual express companies, the reson why they chare less because it takes them longer time to distribute or deliver the expressages. The couriers of those companies are more than the couriers of SF express but their efficiency are lower. Their responsbility seems like not not important, but for the customers, they should provide more responsbilities.
  Once, I went to the branch of Shen Tong express,I want to send cloths to my friend , I know both me and my friend are not in a hurry so I chose this express for delivering. I filled uo the information and address, the workers their in the counter packaged the cloths without any caution, after that, he just threw the packaged cloths to the pile of packages.  Right, their attitude is just like that, lack of responsbilities. They do not care about what is in the package, unless you are willing to pay for more money to get the insurance of your things. After all ,it cost me four days to let my friend got the cloths. It is still common, the average of the cost days are three days plus. One more thing, is during the Double Eleven online shopping festival(every November 11th of the year) in China. People are crazy into buying things because they would get a huge part of discounts of the goods. But during that time, the express companies experience the hell time. Millions of packages were collected within one or two days and waiting for delivery. They are like testing the capability of the express companies. The result is , it cost around 10 days for digesting the packages. But look at SF express, they always on time , high efficiency, high productivity.
