永远在旅行

Je fais de toi mon essentiel

今年德国的天气怪得很，夏天一点暑意没有，秋天却延长了。

阳光里的秋季是最美的，真正的彩色。

摄影迷们都出动了，拍下美景无数。偶只管审阅，挑些喜欢的pp.

It's one the best book I have read this year.

Wallstreet is like a jungle with a million rules and you know none of them. There lives people you have never seen (or will never see) outside the trading floor. This book tells a vivid inside story in a brilliantly funny way. 

Last vacation at home, I played Liar's dice with friends. The rule is basically the same everywhere. But u can choose to play for fun or to win. We had a big drunk night.

I develop a new habit very quickly and switch to another one easily.

I used to bring ipod with me wherever I go, eat no breakfast, go to bed after midnight and put on makeup for work. Since I came back, everything is reversed.  24 is such an important age number that since then, you have to say goodbye to the "careless" life style and lead a "regular" life.  

Sports became more important than going out. Party till morning is not gonna make me look any younger or better. And the next day is totally ruined.

While in the swimming pool, water makes me calm and relaxed, washing off all the tiredness.

People working with me all caught cold. Seeing the sick people makes me feel sick too.  Hot tea is the only weapen I have to protect myself.

The only thing interesting thing for me to do besides laying on the beach is a 3-day hiking program on the lane with lemon trees on both sides. Since I am done with ART and WALKING, I spend the most relaxing day falling asleep on the beach chair. Finally Got freckles on my leg as my souvenior for this vacation.

I Got used to swim in the pool. However, swimming in the sea is not the same story. Decided to just listen to music, eat icecream and study Vogue, the one with Sarah Jessica Parker on cover page.

I gotta say, I definitely lost weight and became more fit after those days. How can I tell? I was canoeing with work associates the week after I came back. My canoe was the winner and it was nothing for me, not even a littie muscle acid.  

卡普里岛

I got my suntan that day. Here u can find all the luxury brands in cloth and jewelry. I have no idea why they are crazy about putting them all here.

Via Krupp. People can walk to the seaside and swim or dive there. The only drawback in Amalfi coastline is that there is no realy beach. It hurts while walking bare feet. 

In anacapri, which is one of the two towns in Capri Island, there is a life chair to reach the highest point of the island. When I was sitting on it, I listened "breath no more" by Evanescence from my ipod... Perfecto!

I have a thing about the sea.  I am attracted to the cities in the seaside: barcelona, hamburg, ...

Amalfi costline is another type. Vertical towns built on the slope of mountain, facing the sea. You can see the sea from every house without any visual disturb.

I spent my first day in Positano. (Sep. 24)

每天早晨都能享受“阳光海景早餐”，还有什么更让人心情舒畅的呢？

All the houses are elaborately decorated. Besides, you can go from any house to  the beach by steps or bus. I climbed steps once and that's when I realized how good i am at hiking or climbing mountains.

Never had the chance to see the dawn, 'cause I had sound sleep EVERY night. 

Night view

Like to sit close to the sea after dinner, eat my fruits, listen to Latin music and enjoy the dusk.

The last day is the most frustrating one. I feel that I have seen everything, but there is always more to see. Besides, I wanna revisit some places 'cause I've already missed them.

My feet were hurt from walking 7 hours everyday. (A long march...) So i took a bus to Piazza venezia and visited Museo Capitolino.

Piazza del Campidoglio

I am done. It's ENOUGT. I am gonna leave tomorrow, go to the coastline and be with the nature. No More architechture, painting or sculpture, for the love of god! After seeing so much, I feel like to do some thing stupid, say watch a USA movie.

用最後的一點白天時間﹐離開帝王的領域﹐到平民的城區去轉了一圈。I like the way the Italian dress, talk and live.  Nobody knows how to enjoy "La Dolce Vita" more than those people.  

西斯廷chapel

西斯廷chapel门前排的队不要太长，还好和同行聊天也就过去了，12点才进到博物馆里，那叫一個人多。

梵蒂冈大概是世界上最富有的地方。Cappella Sistina和圣彼得教堂都是creme de la creme. 西斯廷最著名的就是它的屋顶，眼花缭乱。

米开朗基罗的创世纪

每一个房间，走廊都美伦美奂，奢侈的艺术. 有一个全是罗马帝国地图的房间偶最喜欢。很喜欢他们画太阳的方式，十二条长长的光线，布以十二星座的icon.

祭坛名画之最后的审判，整整一面墙。我最爱的米开朗基罗画了7年亚！屋顶是他的创世纪。

Sistine庭院。外面摆着一些most famous paintings' copy，导游提前讲解，里面就不能叽喳鸟。

雕塑也是多得让人目不暇接。拉奥孔是基于特洛伊的故事，可怜的牧师警告大家不要碰木马，结果连小孩子一起被海蛇缠死了。Chapel刚建好的时候雕像基本上都是nudity, 教皇觉得不雅，所以现在很多雕像都带着片叶子。

另一个给Sistine贡献巨大的是拉斐尔，擅长圣母题材。chapel有一个画室盛放他的作品，灯光柔和暗淡，配合画风的虔诚，平静，和谐。他和米开朗基罗，达芬奇都是文艺复兴时期的三大牛人。

出口的螺旋走廊。出口是个postoffice,又累又high,写了几张卡片寄出去。（偶travel的传统节目）但居然有些朋友沒收到﹐8爽。

觉得走一遍根本没有看够，又回去走马观花了一遍。还去了几个其他的museums. 埃及museum里的mummy makes my hair on my back all stood up. 对地下挖出来的东西一概没兴趣。

St. Pietro教堂

进教堂也排了半天队，还好那天不是教皇讲话的日子，不然就是下图的下场。进教堂不能穿露肩的衣服，可我出门忘了多带一件，结果被一cute门卫给缠住了，问我：madam, do u hv something to cover ur shoulder? I said :yes. But he wanted me to show it to him. Of couse I couldn't. So I smiled and said: I do. I have my hair. He looked at me, smiled too, and responded: nice hair.  (Oh my, well-done!)

教堂大概有足球场那么大，没有一处不是gorgerous。看完这个，什么教堂也不想看了。

baldachin

Pieta. 还是偶得Michelangelo的大作。意大利很喜欢大理石材料，很高贵的感觉。

登上教堂顶，广场的造型据说是象征上帝伸出双臂环抱世人，贝尼尼的设计。

在梵蒂冈艳遇不断，倒是我始料不及的。以至于晚上收到老板的email，说China project cut out, 我都没觉得shocking. Things happen.

游记写烦了，看部电影先.

直到现在才发现意大利的电影和音乐都超赞，以前居然花了很多时间在stupid American movies & music上,   ！！

Facing windows is the one of the best non-English movies, which, in spite of all the gorgerous scenes, doesn't make me feel weird. French movies are always surrealistic, not really to my taste.

The most well-known line from this movies is: don't be content to merely survive, You must aspire to live in a better world, not only dream about it.

Leading actress is my type. She is fabulous in both acting and apprearance.

最喜欢的情节之一是她明知自己恋上的邻居要搬走，却强作镇定地做糕点。后来忍不住跑下楼去，背景音乐是Giorgia的记忆的碎片，镜头拍得太好了。
