Monday I had a Fashion Show for Kangwei, a famous Chinese sports brand. When you see the products you see a lot of similarities with Adidas, even the design and color of and etiquettes of the clothes are very similar. But this is China

It was a big Sport hall. It started 9 am in the morning, the fitting we had the day before, a Sunday! The Rehearsal believe it or not took all day until 8pm when the show started.

They didn’t even had time to give us guys make-up and do their hair, so we all did it ourselves, very professional for one of the biggest Chinese sports brand isn’t it?

Food was average so I got myself a nice chicken salad in a restaurant close to the sports hall.

Tuesday William and me had another fashion show for Yishion, a brand were doing a show before. Luckily we didn’t have to do another fitting as the show was completely the same. Still we had to leave Guangzhou at about 10:30am to go to Dong Guang which is about 1.5 hour away even tho the show started 8pm. Well guess what we did all day, sleeping, doing funny pictures, a professional way to waste time, if you know what I mean

As as expected, same food twice a day Even for the kids…

However, I got home about 12pm and didn’t feel well, as my eye is still sore from the infection I had and organized a doctor for today.

This morning then I had one fashion show casting, and another one at 2:20 pm. After that Cherry on of my booker got to me a specialist hospital for eyes as I still have loads of pressure and it’s very sensible the last couple of days after the infection.

I can’t believe what people in China call a specialist hospital where you see laborer running through the hall with a wheelbarrow full of sand.. HELLLO?!?!? Hygiene ever heard of that, especially for eyes!

Then, well the doctor prescribed me 2 eye drops which I have to take now for a week 3-4 times daily. He also send me to wash my eyes into another room, well ok why not I said.

This nurse was pouring a whole bottle with some kind of disinfection fluid into my eye. Relax, just open your eyes and relax, as if thats so easy if someone pours a bottle of desinfection water into your eyes…

Still having a little cold as well I’m not even able to go to the gym…. Let’s see how it goes the next couple of days, I hope better as I’m not really keen to visit a Chinese horspital again

Tomorrow morning I got a catalogue shoot, 4 hrs so I gotta goto bed now and sleep.

Nite Night Guys!
