number one. it is a night like this while thinking of that makes me cry.
it is a night like this while thinking of that makes me cry.
the weather’s getting unbearably suffocate and unexpectedly hot (100 f) in boston right now. it is not that i’m complaining that boston is no good, though i whine about it quite often and didn’t really make much effort in finding something amusing here. it’s just, something is missing in the air. and again i was mesmerizing and longing for the zesty summer time last year. maybe, location matters. the brief cloudy sky that blocked the rays from the sun made me feel that i’m not in boston anymore while i was walking down the lane with destination the bus station. it is effing sad being nostalgic of the past/or a certain place while you know it is impossible to turn the clock back or be there at present. despite that fact, thinking of all these free museums, the v&a, the national gallery, tate, british museum, and all these squares and circles trafalgar square piccadilly circles leicester square oxford circles, and all these schools lse central saint martin royal college of art architectural association, and all these pubs pubs pubs everywhere in the corner where you can just hop in and get a pint of stella and chat, and all these markets borough market camden market spitafileds market portobello market, and all these not so sunny days and waking up so early going to bed so late days and all these glares at st pancras station that make me feel motivated and freshed. f. c. u. k. yet it is thinking of something that you want to achieve yet feeling so powerless that makes you feel so hopeless.
hang out with your camera more. please. please. please. maybe you’ll miss here then and realizing you only have one roll of film for it.
leicester square

对焦对偏了。我们那天晚上在这里玩了半天嘉年华一样的游乐设施,2磅在空中绕了大概10分钟。后来去vue看电影,结果有人不知道在搞什么,把火警弄响了,还没进放映厅的我们就又出了电影院,后来被工作人员证实为假新闻,就又回去看了我人生中第一部恐怖片,paranormal activity。放映结束被赠票一张。后来就又去看了2012。我刚小睡醒,要整理明天考试的essay,啊。啊。啊。
en route
周五考完final之后把行李搬到住了6个星期的即将关闭的commonwealth hall的旁边的huges parry hall。之后神清气爽的去了Architectural Association。AA果然如同雷克斯所说地理位置和大门诡异,但还是顺利的进入内部一览,并蹭了半天他们的summer school final project presentation。晚上和chloe去了greater london palace,看到了期待已久的伦敦市政厅 — 那个有着飘逸发型的伦敦市长Boris工作的地方。再后来去了northumberland,和朋友道别,然后体验了下伦敦出租车 — 迫不得已因为地铁关了。一大早到了希斯罗机场,脑海里开始回放真爱至上(Love Actually)里面休格兰特扮演的首相的经典台词
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there — fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge — they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.
二号登机楼好古老。无聊的我打算用里面电脑上网,投进的一磅硬币居然卡在了投币口,推不下去拔不出来相当让我哭笑不得。后来登机,英国居然不盖出境章,纳闷了好久,还以为自己忘了……

快降落在戴高乐机场的时候,在飞机上能看到巴黎全景,可爱的机长呼吁全机人看埃菲尔铁塔。飞机平安落地后全机人激情四射的开始鼓掌,引用RP Culture会长之言,“恭喜你乘坐了正宗欧洲班机。”
戴高乐机场Terminal 2F和2E一样,颇为惊艳。通透的玻璃和如同骨骼般的结构,繁密却不压抑,照片远远无法展现在其之下的真实感受。飞回上海的航班上同坐是两个法国同志,飞着飞着后面的小豆子开始嚎哭,找爸爸妈妈,其中一个就去自发义务哄孩子去了,专业的很,我那个大汗啊。

从上海到北京的航班之间有4、5个小时,刚好RP会长也在,就坐了磁悬浮(先进啊!!!)到了市区和会长碰头。两人吃完早饭后无趣决定去外滩转转,路上看到了dunkin donuts中文版,据说都开了5年了。这可是俺第一次见到,猛一瞅还以为山寨再现……

一切为了世博,外滩变成了新的大工地。
絮絮叨叨了那么多,重点来了!参观完外工地版外滩后,会长带俺去了“荧七人间”。在巨鹿路805号的荧七,是竹一、无二、砚三、泷四、泉五、穹六、萤七系列餐馆之一。旁边的803号是shintori新都理,环境也很不错。

巨鹿路803号新都理。

这是荧七的大门,如果不说是餐馆一般很难把这种门和餐馆联系起来。密码每天都会换。这种大门可以用来逗第一次来的人。会长最爱的一种就是让新人说,芝麻开门。。。






和会长吃了中午的lunch special。上面是会长点的梅花排骨下面是俺点的豆腐,很个性是用纸锅盛的,俩人还无聊的讨论了下十万个为什么之为什么能用纸锅煮开水的问题,亲爱的小朋友们,你们知道么。。。。。。
下面是个性的厕所,研究怎么开门花了半天,重点在颇有欺骗性的把手。荧七环境不错,设计个性,但是除了lunch special外价位是在有些不能接受。不过lunch special还真是挺超值的。有机会再去穹六看看,希望也有那么超值的时候。。。

短暂的上海4小时后我到了北京,北京48小时后到了家,在家72小时后就要去哥本哈根了。
御宅真舒服啊!!!
肯尼亚玫瑰

晚上回家路过Waitrose,进去抱了两把花儿回来,刚好在搞特价。一束spray carnations, 一束kenyan rose。其实就是康乃馨和玫瑰。回家后很没创意的把矿泉水瓶剪了个口当花瓶用。放花的时候一直在好奇这个kenyan rose到底是月季啊还是玫瑰啊。于是就搜了一下,发现这肯尼亚玫瑰的“肯尼亚”商标,原来还是很有故事的啊。
2008年2月14日新华社今晨电在情人节来临之际,英国政府建议国民购买肯尼亚玫瑰,帮助肯尼亚渡过难关。
英国国际开发大臣亚历山大说,购买肯尼亚玫瑰有利于帮助穷困的肯尼亚农民,使这个国家尽快从政治争端和暴力冲突中恢复过来。亚历山大说:“肯尼亚鲜花不是在温室中生长,所以这些玫瑰消耗的能源比欧洲产玫瑰少,记住这一点很重要。”
亚历山大说,肯尼亚是欧洲的第一大鲜切花供应国,在肯尼亚全部出口花卉中,玫瑰占70%。在英国,玫瑰多在情人节和3月2日英国母亲节用于礼品赠送。
房间有了花儿之后就更有生活气息啦,每天晚上看着伦敦怎么都不黑的天和远处的教堂,整个人就更加懒了.… :S
买完花出来的路上碰到了一群法国夏令营小朋友,又一次看到了那几个熟悉的拼音字母 “F-E-I-Y-U-E”…

飞跃在法国真是红啊!
