For some unknown reasons,
London in my memory is always in grey tones,
though this city is, in fact, very colourful,
particularly the night colours--
-Golden Jubilee Bridge
鄰近皇家節慶音樂廳的橋上附有行人專用道
對剛剛聽完音樂會的人來說彷彿是一種緩衝
讓人不疾不徐地沿著橋走回原來喧囂的世界
(Royal Festival Hall 非常體貼地將當日沒有售出的票改成六磅的standby ticket賣給貧窮學生們,對那時的我來說,真是無比的享受。)
-London Eye & Big Ben
有時候會留戀、或是貪圖這醉人夜色
而改走另一座橋,可以一直走回羅素廣場的宿舍
算是相當好的夜間運動。
-Theater for Lion King
Lion King的舞台是我看過最多采多姿的
還沒開場前就覺得很熱鬧,忍不住拍了一張
不過音樂就是沒有其他的音樂劇感人。
-Moving along the Oxford St.
深夜坐在沿著牛津街前行的巴士上
可以感受到城市生命的律動
不過多半時候我都和人群方向相反
希望早點回到住所
安眠一晚
也許倫敦的夜色對我來說從來就是色彩而已 ,
-Flying above London
要站得夠遠、飛得夠高
才能看到這樣的美麗。

California on the track
2 years ago, travelling in California.
while it only took 2 or 3 hours to fly from San Diego to San Jose
i chose to take train
because of its slowness-literally "slow", took me more than 12 hours
but it was fun.
the train was called "Coast Starlight"-海岸星光號
attached with dining car and sightseer lounge
the flloor-to- celing windows gave the magnificent scenery along the coast-I spent most of time here when i was awake.
we passed the pacific ocean,
the swamp,
the vine yards,
the state penitentiary(we were informed by the train driver- he seemed to enjoy himself as a tour guide, always remind us to see the "unmissable" scenes),
the "bigness" and "emptiness" of land,
the solitude of a streetlamp,
the stylish but abandoned station,
the seemingly timelessness scene,
and even the rainbow.
