Deep Shit

You might say 'deep shit' a lot but you might not really mean it and seriously in that. But today I realised that this could really happen to you before you know what's going on before and after.

I planned to stay at this job and using the free time to practise drawing for the coming 6 months and move on travelling around Europe later. But before I can really start my practise, this load of deep shit poured on the place that I am working now all in a sudden. Tonight, at about quarter past 10, the grada/police come and asked something about the place upstairs. I told them we didn't know anything about upstairs since we never saw anyone goes up and we didn't have access to upstairs. What I concern about was that if some psychos or killers or predators around here in this small town who might cause any danger to my safety. I didn't think it was serious at all and was complaining that they were affecting our closing time until one of police told me that there were a lot of drugs and 1/3 million of cash upstairs. Then, I realise the chief and I were truly in deep shit.

The police has took over the takeaway but they allowed us to go home. One of the police was really angry when the chief could not provide the name of the takeaway owner. It was not normal that the chief, in charge of the takeaway/restaurant didn't know the owner's name and contact. I understand it doesn't make sense at all. This is also the reason why I always complaint about the way Chinese do their business, you just never know who is the real boss. But for a packpacker like me who only works for travel money wouldn't care too much as long as I am paid on time. I know that most Chinese owned restaurants or takeaways never ask employee's identifications. They never show their identities to the employee too of course. It was very weird to me when I first come down to this county. Only after a few months, I realised that most of Chinese are illegal immigrates. And to my surprise there are so many of them and they work opening in many shops or restaurants. What's even more terrible is that the police wouldn't check and they just let them walk away even they know that they don't possess valid visa.

I don't know what going on tomorrow. It doesn't look good anyway. I guess I would to move too. The change seems the only thing that ever lasts. When will I settle down?!
