离回家的日子越近，也越发觉得自己对这个国家的感情，与其说喜爱，不如说是依恋。

德国，顾名思义是一个有着强烈“道德感”的国家。而它时常让我感动的则是那种不修边幅的比生活还大（LARGER THAN LIFE）的土气，还有洋溢在空气里的对生活的满足感。相比之下，虽然在北京可以去面爱面点烧鸟吃，我却实在有点儿害怕生病、失业、变老。果然，有道德感的国家就是有道德。

伦敦和爱丁堡我们基本还没准备，基本会即兴了吧（因为我们在卓越上订的《孤独星球：英国》它还没有到）。

能发生的最可怕的事莫过于发现我根本听不懂英文，这将是对我人生的完全打击。

如果你在波鸿的话，知不知道这个性感狂热的人他到底是谁？]]> ]]> We, 16 Sep 2009 06:34:17 -0800
It was taken before the last ZDF show with the whole ARD/ZDF crew in the garden studio. And I was sitting right in the front row with my outfit totally mirroring the pagoda behind. It was a perfect match.

I was kind of bred with hatred when I was there being exploited both physically and mentally last summer in this god-damned garden. But now it rather looks like a good old time that's never coming back.

我一生都不爱做武断的决定，基本都要求自己深思熟虑。结果俩礼拜前突然觉得就这么下去有点对不起自己，就闪电SCHEDULE了所有的事情，买了去北京的机票。于是整个生活就不同了。

- 还在纠结论文内容，毕竟100页的东西怎么改都不是小事。我现在开始理解为什么有人在交论文前俩礼拜发生内心崩坏对人生绝望的事件。好在凯那教授是一个知书达理的人吧。
- 还一个礼拜去伦敦和爱丁堡，从卓越定了中文版的孤独星球（英文的看不明白），目前还完全没有任何准备，看了点YOUTUBE上的伦敦帮派片，知道了那些地方该去哪些不该去。好像我们下榻的宜必思CANARY WHARF也是在东区？必杀。
- 11月底是毕业典礼也是项目10年的庆祝式，据说这个校长和历届负责教授全员出席的仪式目前只有5名毕业生宣布到场……大家都在纠结的状态中吧。
- 天天看应届生点康姆，有种强烈的被歧视的海归的感觉。貌似国内的应届招聘还是不太好找工作，这年头在哪都是被人唾弃。
- 日语考试完全放弃。

已经3年没在北京过秋了，北京可怕的秋天里，我的思念又在何处。]]> ]]> Sa, 05 Sep 2009 07:00:28 -0800

基本上大家都期待维也纳是一个浪漫又华贵的地方，但如果把它当作一个“人居住的地方”看，这个地方一样充斥着黑泡少年、打酱油的老太太、以及满街要饭的吉普赛人，实在是与一般的德国城市没什么不同。如果说有区别的话，那可能就是当街从事推销行业的土耳其人都不是卖便宜产品，而是各种各样的音乐会门票。说到头来，好像大家也都逛着H和M吃着麦当劳这样地生活着。

再就是我在维也纳的两天里见着了比这辈子见过的还多的日本人，大都很潮，不知道这样的维也纳会不会让他们失望。

这次终于住到了有着庞大露台的房间，在五层，基本已经可以看见不少房子的屋顶，每天早上也可以测探温度、呼吸新鲜空气。

在巨晒的天气里去了传说中的美泉宫，买的是最低等的票，只能看完皇宫里的皇室部分。宫殿的花园也着实庞大了点儿，所以我们就也没爬到山顶看风景。看了弗朗茨.约瑟夫和玛利亚.特雷西娅的起居空间，我觉得他们住的是比你们中国清朝的皇帝好。你们中国的故宫就是大，论功能性和华丽性就差了不少。所以，工业革命万岁。

另外，金色大厅也没有想象中的大，以致于周梦兮听了10分钟讲解才回过闷儿来这就是金色大厅。导游说每年都有好多中国人写邮件问能不能把金色大厅包下来办独奏或者是独唱会，后来我想要是他们能包下来那我就也把它包下来结婚使。

在金色大厅听讲解的时候（两天才有一次，一次只45分钟），有最前排的中国男性一直在用数码单反拍照，那对焦和快门的声音都非常DISTURBING。所以，大家出来玩的时候还是要好好体验人文别到哪都照相，而且你到哪都挂着一个大数码单反就不怕得颈椎病么～（需要更多信息的话请移步豆瓣的“我们不用单反”小组）

维也纳的古典音乐圈有着微妙的商业气息。这就是卖票很贵的莫扎特交响乐团，其中每个人长的穿的都很像莫扎特，而且顾名思义只放莫扎特的歌，可以理解成摇滚界尤其是金属界流行的TRIBUTE BAND（致敬乐队）。

另外还去了圣史蒂芬大教堂，跟其它地方的教堂没什么区别。没有克隆大教堂那么哥特那么阴森也没有巴塞罗那圣家堂那么朋克那么破坏。所以也不要门票，什么时候都可以进入。

给脱衣舞院做宣传的古董奔驰车，是我们在维也纳见过的最美艺术品。所以说莫扎特也是人，也有性需要。你们这些向往浪漫纯情维也纳的人还是醒醒吧。

其实维也纳还是挺好的。不过刚从巴塞罗那回来，去哪都不会好玩儿吧。]]> ]]> Sa, 29 Aug 2009 00:03:22 -0800 ]]> ]]> Mo, 24 Aug 2009 23:33:16 -0800
好像我一向都是不太擅长外出的人，一到陌生的地方就开始紧张、手脚发凉，怕赶不上车误了飞机，更怕在暗巷里受到不明人物的性侵害。所以我出去玩大致都是呆在一个城市，免得舟车劳顿的痛苦，还能让自己在几天内慢慢变得LOCAL起来。

这大概就是我长这么大还没去过什么荒山野岭，亦没有进行过长途旅行的原因。每次去新的城市也都会把二手店和食物当成重点，作为一个没有CULTURE的人，我还是更愿意把博物馆门票的钱省了花在EBAY上。大概就是这种感觉。

所以，对于我这样目光狭隘不思进取的人来说，巴塞罗那确实是一颗富有足够冒险情趣的城市：本地人拉美移民旅游者骗子小偷鱼龙混杂，却又在地中海温柔的阳光下和平共处着。当我爬上PARC GÜELL的山坡回头看着狭长街道那端的大海的时候，有一种莫名其妙的让人甘愿为它自杀的温馨感。周末夜里的地铁是八分钟一趟，从地铁站里出来就看见乌泱乌泱的人群站在街上，空气里都是酒精和烟花的味道，再配上街上姑娘的乳沟是那么让人销魂。或者夜里背靠着奥林匹克港躺在静静的沙滩上，把啤酒罐插在沙子里，看着星星，闻着海鲜馆的清香，有了尿意则可以就地在水下暗中解决，是一种廉价的娱乐方式。

食物的方面巴塞罗那也比德国有更多选择，便宜的海鲜饭馆数不胜数。好像游客都比较倾向海鲜饭墨鱼饭，当地人的话DINE OUT就更喜欢肉食。后来，我果然在数顿海鲜+SANGRIA之后有了不良的生理反应，也只好在最后一天用肯德基和中餐结束了我多年来对海鲜的热衷。最后的经验就是海鲜饭好吃但你不能顿顿吃，其实巴塞罗那有不少正宗的中餐馆，除了大都有便宜的给老外的套餐，单独点菜的话大概青菜5欧肉菜8欧，也是相当实惠的价格。

一直让人担心的语言问题其实也没有出现：会简单西语（词汇量<50）再加上英语基本可以跟人交流，不太偏的饭馆大都也有英文菜单，另外在巴塞罗那餐厅打工或开商店的浙江人非常之多，也特别热情，所以基本上你会中文就可以在这里生存。

我到最后也能体会那些千辛万苦偷渡到巴塞罗那的人的心情：纵使人生一事无成，只要能在这样的地方终老，就是一件终极幸福的事情了吧。]]> ]]> Tu, 18 Aug 2009 00:50:56 -0800

Rule 1: Always keep your bag within your eyesight.
This MUJI bag is a stylish choice though it might make you look like a monk.

Rule 2: Keep your precious belongings invisible.
SAMSONITE is good at making such things, like this hidden bag that could be stuffed into your underwear. Unless you'd get raped or laid, your passport, credit cards and cash are kept safe, even with the infamous Gore-Tex technology.

Rule 3: Don't leave your pants pocket widely open.
If even you yourself have problem picking things out of your pockets, it is the best thing that could ever be. Recommended here is a series of Slim Slacks from American Apparel, being able to keep everything close to your skin. This will makes you look top-sexy expecially when you have to find some tiny coins at the very bottom of your pocket.]]> ]]> Mo, 17 Aug 2009 04:19:19 -0800 louisaviaroma.com for 351 euro. As an alternative you can go ask your mum if she'd like to make you one withher abandoned sewing machine down in the basement. So this is the hi-fashion in Europe and America, even though in East Asia it looks like as if you were revisiting the ancient Buddism tradition of begging alms.

This edgy design also reminds me of the "peaceful monks" back in Tibet in last year. Yet Tibet is a fascinating place where you can eat, drink, drive, smoke, rape and kill but still be a "peaceful monk", whatever, as long as you're equipped with the yellow version of this trendy Rick Owens design.

And there we saw this German guy (assumingly the famous Mathias von Hein) dressing himself monkish at an Deutsche-Welle interview with The Dalai Lama. Sure he thought he was cool.]]>
