兵馬俑,西安。16.05.08
想當然爾,這是來到西安不能不到訪的景點。然而,秦始皇的地下軍隊太過龐大,不可能位於市中心。因此,一早又到達火車站的我們,在找到前往兵馬俑的平民公車之前,又經歷一番掮客之戰。
是啊。旅程都來到第三個星期。對於這些欺瞞、騙術,也可說是見怪不怪。最好的方法,就當沒看見這些人吧。
bus 306,七塊人民幣,一個半小時。這是背包客最好的選擇,但別期待坐起來和統聯客運一樣。一路上顛簸,我就在左搖又擺,脖子差點扭傷的狀況下睡了一路。好心的老德終於受不了,拿了我的外套放在自己肩膀上,「睡吧」,他說。不過在這劇烈的脖子運動後,我已經醒了,殘念。
豔陽高照。那天氣恐怖到即便用SPF!130都沒救的地步。更讓亞洲(好吧,臺灣)女性空慌的是,竟然連遮蔽物都少的可憐。威武的秦始皇原來也喜歡古銅色肌膚。
買票的時候,再次體認到,在中國旅行,最好帶著一切狗屁證件。什麼!沒照片的學生證不要?手握著student pass,卻要掏出兩倍價的同時,熊熊大火,裡裡外外,差點燃燒了,我。
至於兵馬俑究竟好不好看?這真是個見仁見智的問題。「壯觀但不感動」,這是我的答案。壯觀的程度尤以pit one最具震撼力,六千具兵馬俑同時呈現在眼前,彷彿都可以看到秦始皇在面前猖狂的笑著。「人海戰術」,果真是中國的強項。

vollidiot
OMG!This is the only book which I read within these TWO WEEK.
Yeah yeah, ppl who heard the name of this book may think what a CRAP u read?! As my brother heard I said, " tell u that i'm reading a book which is FANTASTIC." " Which one?" he said.
男人都是智障。
WHAT?
According to my German friend, Chris, the meaning of VOLLIDIOT is ' full idiot' , in another way is ' a total idiot'.
Of course, there must be a man who screwed up eveything of his life. But for me it's not the thing in this book i interested in mostly. Why? In fact, i dunno, maybe it's because i would like to know the culture part more. Fortunately, the writer of Vollidiot is quite good at describing culture things in an ironic way (at least for me). Such as the part he bought a sofa in IKEA, as we kow, an Swedish brand. He hate to be a single in the furniture shop, especially the clerk keep emphasizing the hv sofa for SINGLE, BANG!! It seems that i'd love to see the war between this stupid German and the Swedish furniture?!
Anyway, for me, it's a book suitable for eveyone. It will bring u some fun to your boring life, and amybe u can experience hold your breath cuz u can't laugh loudly in the public space especially in bookshop.
Besides, i even asked Chris how to pronounce the word ' vollidiot'.
VOLLIDIOT [fol, idio:t] Thanks for his kindness to tell me.
Finally, i must say that cuz i'm really interested in this MASTERPIECE. Therefore, i also find the trailer of the movie. So cool, right?!

Goodbye Lenin
再見,列寧。再見,舊生活。
' what's the most miserible thing in 1989? that's u were fainted when the Antifaschistischer Schutzwall fell down.'
柏林圍牆(德語:Berliner Mauer),東德稱此牆為“反法西斯防衛牆”(Antifaschistischer Schutzwall),柏林圍牆約155公里長,約3至4公尺高。於1961年開始建造,一開始以鐵絲網為材料,後才被換成更為堅固耐久的磚牆。德國首都柏林在第二次世界大戰以後被分割為東柏林與西柏林,東德為了隔絕東德人民與西德的接觸與投敵,於是沿著邊界在己方的領土上建立圍牆,將西柏林整個包圍起來。柏林圍牆的建立是二戰以後德國分裂和冷戰的重要標誌性建築。1989年11月9日,屹立了28年柏林圍牆倒塌,兩德重歸統一。
說起來,這部片的編劇是個天才。這麼嚴肅的歷史事件、政治題材,竟然以相當有趣的方式呈現。當男主角急著從垃圾堆中找出東德時期的醃黃瓜玻璃罐、穿回共產時期的衣服、剪接著舊新聞,都讓人會心一笑。很棒的德式幽默。
記得,老德曾經和我談過東西德問題。' yeah, even nowaday, there some ppl of east Germany think their lives were better in the past. but. dun forget that we(the west part) almost "bought" them from Soviet! it's quite annoying.' 哈,我突然很想知道老德若看了這部電影的反應會是如何。說起來,廿年這個不短的時間內,似乎還不足以消去很多痕跡,不足以彌合心中的鴻溝。
有一天,我也想親自到Berlin,尋找舊東德的氛圍。

The sisterhood of the travelling pants
This film is the youth version of ' Sex and The City' , at least, for me. Yeah, no need to say the film still quite HOLLYWOOD, within blond hair beauty(Blake Lively), handsome guy and the white-blue Greek scenery.
It's a story about the four girls, if compare with SATC, definately, without branded products. Actually, it connected four parts of stories, including sisterhood, family, friendship and the inevitable one- love. But that is so wrong if u think it's just like the so-called 'ya film', it's not just abt the love and happy ending.
- Maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us.
- Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect.
- Maybe it's abt stringing together all the little things.
These are from a 12-year- old girl in the film. Honestly, I was shocked and crying when i saw the girl's part. I think the way she described life is quite true, although we always try hard to seek the success which we think of. Yeah yeah, maybe it's not so optimistic to face life, but dun forget sometimes the real happiness is from the little thing which u may pay no attention to, doesn't it?!
It is a perfect film for friends for summer. It makes ppl laughing, crying and the most important, thinking.
Besides, cuz the film is quite popular so now there is ' the sisterhood of the travelling pants 2' coming out, how lucky! And, if anyone rent this film, DO NOT forget to see the 'Suckumentary'(i like this idea so much).
