How Much Is Philippe Chariol Ring?

article that appeared in a Chinese newspaper praises the Italian lifestyle

few days ago, 'I was delighted to see an article in China Daily, the only Chinese newspaper in English, inviting the Pekingese to learn from the quiet and relaxed lifestyle of the Italians.

The article is titled "Piano, Piano, Beijingers Stressed" (found here: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2010-03/24/content_9632333.htm ) and inspired the episode happened a few days ago 'to the Pantheon, where the lights were turned off the closing accurate despite the fact that a concert of Bach was still in progress.

The author, whose name was Chang Lu, apparently spent a summer as a student in Perugia a few years ago ', perhaps studying Italian. She claims not to be surprised and what 'happened at the Pantheon, and recalls an incident which 'happened to her during their stay Perugino.

It seems that the Chinese were doing an afternoon shopping on the main street of Perugia, in a shop window when he saw a skirt he wanted to buy for a friend. But when 'try' to enter the shop, commit the block ', saying that it was already' closing time, and she was closing the store. The Chinese girl insisted, saying she really wanted to buy a skirt, but to his surprise, the order was' adamant, asking her to come back the next day.

The Chinese think 'that the contract had to have something urgent to do, but un'po' more 'later saw the same person who calmly sipped an espresso with his friends. At that point, as the author says, "Heads 'for her money are not the only thing. That person would prefer to enjoy your coffee' and his free time rather than sell me something."

The author compares this incident with the situation in Beijing, where apparently no job or ever refuse to sell something to a customer at any time.

lodendo The article continues the slow pace of life and mentality 'relaxed in Perugia, where shops close for two to three hours in the day for lunch, and suggesting to take un'po Pekingese stressed' the mentality ' Italian, to make things more 'slowly, slowly "for the note. Compare

Beijing (at least 10 million inhabitants) and Perugia (166 000) seems to me un'po 'unfair. Perhaps Milan or Rome would most comparisons' require. Having said that 'is no doubt that the Chinese style of European life seems very relaxed and lazy. The Chinese who go on vacation in Europe, not only in Mediterranean countries but even in Germany or England, they always say that the inhabitants of those countries have a lot of free time. A Chinese who had visited Germany and Italy told me that they 'people make' a very relaxed life, always drinking beer in bars. A Chinese girl who had spent a summer in Denmark told me that one could never adapt to a style of life so 'lazy! If
even countries with the Germans seem so 'relaxed, you can see that the effect has to do Italy.

Sometimes I wonder if this is also a misunderstanding due to the fact that the Chinese have other ways to spend your free time compared to Europeans. Maybe in China and 'less common to see people take a coffee' or a beer on the street with friends, 'cause the Chinese have other hobbies less public. In Chinese cities, people always find time to gamble with the majiang, and throughout China places where you can 'rent a room with karaoke are always full.

Having said that, 'and' certainly true that Europeans on average work less hard than the Chinese, and are less willing to give up free time. But at least, there 'a Pekingese who decided to take life un'po 'more' to Perugia.
