In the mountains it is very cool and in the cities you want to go to the natural places and fresh air and the clean water it is very special.

Some say we should protect the water not the sea water the can drink. because in the water maybe 50 years ago the water is over.


I went to another insurance company because I need some new challenges for me.
They have some different products and a new job can offer many new challenges new opportunities and pay raises/ chances to make more money. so I made this decision.
The company has a different commission structure but this is not very important for me because the new company can provide/give access to many different products / to more products than my previous company / to a wider variety of products./ a more diverse product portfolio.

because the customer has many different needs and sometimes in my current company I can’t match/fulfill all of them but the new company maybe can do all of them./ but it may be easier in the new company / but since the new company has more products it will be easier for me to do my job.
I will start next week on Aug 5.

I hope  to make big money/ a lot of money it is very important for me.
Last Sunday and Saturday we went to Zhejiang province to relax/have fun … we took a kayak in the middle of the mountain and you could sail the ship on the river.
Because the river is between the mountains.

The mountains are cooler than the city and you can go to natural places and breathe fresh air. It is very special
the kayak  is difficult to control.

It is a 2 hour drive on the highway
you can forget some worries, maybe you have problems at work you can just forget them in this time.
maybe the world is warming / is getting warmer and the ice is melting  and  the sea level is getting higher but I think it will take 100 years
Some say we should protect pure water not the sea water. because in 50 years there won’t be much water left. we will have used up most of the water
