住在新山的大姨听说我花了新币5元买了一小罐红醩,替我大大感到不值。结果托我的姐姐给我带了一大盒的正宗福州红醩回来。
想到之前我们大谈红醩鸡鸭,现在给你送上了。上鸡!

GLOBAL SHOPPING HAUNTS
Vienna is well known for being a mecca of classical music, waltzes and the opera. But don’t discount the shopping and dining experiences the city ALSO offers—the seventh district, more commonly known as Neubau, is a fine example of this vibrant new culture. It brings together some of the most extravagant boutiques, cafés and restaurants, assimilating them into an eclectic blend of Baroque and Modern architecture seen throughout the Museumsquartier.
Let CATALOG takes you on a journey into the heart of Austria, where obliging store owners expound on the latest and greatest from the scene. Welcome to....VIENNA.
PARK
This inspiring concept store is the brainchild of Helmut Ruthnet and Markus Strasser—the latter, being a former fashion lecturer at the University of Applied Arts and part of the design team for Raf Simon x Jil Sander. With their love for contemporary design, it is no surprise that PARK features merchandise from both leading European brands as well as younger, less established designers. Ask to look into their archive and you just might find rare deadstock items from Raf Simons or Hussein Chalayan.

HOTEL RATHAUS WEIN & DESIGN
The humble entrance of Hotel Rathaus Wien belies its interior—the hotel partnered with 39 of Austria’s top vintners, providing selected wines in every room’s minibar.

毕生难忘的生日
28052009,时间2000,雨后,九度,冷。
早上,我们吃了早餐温饱后,开着车子,在没有左右分隔线的乡间小路穿行,往布拉格去。20分钟后,车子突然向左边一滑,左边的两个轮胎,是两个,经不起摩擦,爆裂了!连中双元,好事成双不成?后备轮胎只有一个,只好打电话求救。从捷克致电柏林,柏林致电布拉格,来来往往后,布拉格的拖车在1430终于姗姗来迟。我们啊,坐在陡峭的大型拖拉罗里,浩浩荡荡继续往布拉格前进。绵绵细雨,车镜前的刷水器启动,三支刷水器在眼前晃来晃去,祝我生日快乐。1630,车子修好了。晚餐抚慰了疲惫的身躯,然后漫步在查尔斯桥,在绵绵细雨中欣赏弥漫在烟雾蒙蒙的布拉格。
28052009,时间2000,车里,我坐他的旁边,想着我那充满惊喜的30岁生日,一切都好。
空头支票,名副其实
滑下
我们说,到山东的时候,一定要去脚底按摩。Michelle大力推荐“HuaXia”。我赶紧在笔记簿里记录一下“滑下”,以免忘记。大家看着我写,然后哄然大笑。是“华夏”,不是“滑下”!我想到脚底按摩时,按摩师的手滑上滑下的,就迫不及待了。

山东,我来咯!
今早,我到中国大使馆办旅游签证。我上大使馆,为了顺利拿到签证,都是规规矩矩、恭恭敬敬、客客气气的。中国大使馆的签证办理处,喧哗闷热也就算了,还有手提GUCCI包包的安娣插队(就是插我的队!)单单只为询问。奇怪了,有询问柜台不去,偏要到签证柜台?更有人因为要办的事办不到,对柜台里的服务人员破口大骂。保安人员上前去,她大声地说:他不给我呀!(中国腔)我心里想:给了你还得了?让你到中国去大闹不成?(中国腔)
Sunday, June 7, 2009
“兴”啊!
Saturday, June 6, 2009
祝我生日快乐
三更半夜,最怕电话突然响起,会让人顿时魂飞魄散。
三更半夜,如果有人敲门,房门突然“砰砰”响起,更为恐怖,吓坏胆咯!
28052009,零时分,享受了Cesky Krumlov的中世纪美后,睡得正甜。房门突然“砰砰”响起!不是我亏心事做得多,而是乌漆嘛黑的夜晚,又身在曾经是共产国的捷克,加上旅馆是在叫天天不应,叫地地不灵的郊外,难道是苏联来袭,酒店要我们撤离不成?带着战战兢兢的心情,摸黑去开门。小心翼翼地从门缝之间往外瞄,歪咯海咯,是YC啦!他穿着卖烟通,手里拿着特制蛋糕,站在门外,细细地说:生日快乐啊!
草草吃了两口糖分超高的蛋糕,又爬进被窝里,继续呼呼大睡。睡醒后要去布拉格叻!
这次真的有surprise到咯!
