VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S+R]

four years ago I studied French cooking in a French school

I am not finish my job, I came here but I cant tell my boss.

because of the virus
Yesterday I met a guy he wanted to shake with me and I said sorry no. I just say hi . / wave my hand

My parents called me before the CNY, they wanted me to go home but I said I want to stay in SH. They were very angry on that time but I said because I am very tired when I worked so I need to relax myself so I never want to go anywhere I just want to stay in SH but after I made the decision the virus is coming. After that my dad called me again and he said I made the right decision it is lucky you are not coming home when you came home maybe you can never come back to Shanghai.

I think work in home is not very high effective because home is home you will open the Tv and watch the show but when you are very busy you have never time to eat lunch and relax and talk with another people but in office even I have a little time to talk about co workers and go outside to have a break.
I remember I saw some news to say the Olympic Games this year will be late because of the virus.

Next months all of schools will be opened. when the schools open it means the situation maybe become good.
When you come out you don’t know the corona virus attacks you. you never know but when you come back Shanghai you should quarantine of 14 days. It is not worth it to do that.

The government pick out 100 billion to save the market

A lot of companies lay off the people.
They never find a job this year it is very hard.
So far all of my friends are good.

eastern people all of their thoughts inside not outside. they are not very like to tell the people who they are but western people is opposite they like to open their hearts to tell everyone who they are.
Interesting thing is in China when you said you got a serious sick for example HIV everyone leave you and people watch you with concern. you know you are a good guy but you get the sick they think you are bad guy they watch you it is different.

I don’t like to go out outside.
