前天夜里3点钟到家，很自然地提着脚步窜进自己的房间，脱了衣服才想起来该喜喜澡才能睡，于是稍微喜了一会，又蹑手蹑脚走回房间，一不小心轻轻地踢上沙发脚，还是很疼。
我人生当中第四次到北京，京城果然比起去年干净了不少。下了机场大巴，凭着自己的方向感和热心北京人不地道的指引，我果然迷失在无论长，宽都比北京路多很多的中关村大街上。几经周折，终于在天黑之前找到目的地。坐上去峰子家的公交车，一共开了一小时，好容易从北三环开到东三环！
峰子没有什么变化，还是一样的体贴入微，把一切都安排好，还拼命地逼我吃桔子。我真幸运。没想到他食量竟然如此有限，跟他吃饭实在很难相信他是蒙古来的。还好认识吴磊终于让我找回点蒙古汉子的印象。在这座城市里面，宽大的让人缺乏安全感的街道应该多少会让人渴望有个四面白墙，抬头有顶的处所。所以尽管房价都快高到天上了，人们还是不放弃为之拼命。峰子住的地方很日本。一个人还是很精彩的生活在这个比较没有人情味的空旷当中。晚上三个人坐在床上看电视，聊天，峰子鞋子的味道弥漫在屋里竟然很催眠。我们仿佛又回到兰卡威，不得不三个人挤一张床。
第二天白天，看清楚了车外的建筑，才找到了些许熟悉的温暖。人民大学，双安商场，城乡超市，元绿寿司，还有并不是蒲公英的柳絮。北京应该受不了我的闲言碎语和斤斤计较，所以回来的路上给我一点点惩罚。到首都机场的出租车上免费教司机说英语，他竟然还恩将仇报地宰我一刀，罢了罢了。川航的晚点让我结识了一女大学老师，还是艺术系的。航班上有个漂亮的空姐长得极像孙俪，还戴一副有颜色的隐性眼镜。还有还有，飞机飞了20多分钟竟仍未飞出首都的灯火辉煌。
哈哈，blogger又被屏蔽了，上自己的blog竟要借助国外的代理。我写的并不反动吧...

Quotes from Woddy Allen
"If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans"
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”

Ode to Iris
She's definitely a legendary woman.
The year 2004, I first met her at the CCTV English Speaking Contest in Kunming and we went to Beijing two months later for the Semi-final. Exactly one year later I unexpectedly met her again in Kunming International Trade Center, as elegant as she'd been. I thought we were merely to know each other and all until I met her yet again when I attend the interview leading to my present job. Every time thinking of this, as they describe by saying"how old are you?" seemingly English but Chinese word-for-word interpretation "怎么老是你?"
That's basically how we got to know each other and became very good friends.
Iris is a little crazy and I say she's just very special so to speak. She loves her American boy who lives in Shanghai, she raises a dog who loves kittens, she practices karate which is practically useless, and she catwalks like a super model!! The thing I admire her best is that she has her own dream and keeps preaching to me her belief.
Iris helped me a lot. It's not exaggerating to say if I don't have her as my colleague, I'd be lost in search of a life goal and maybe a livelihood too! :)

Coming Back
I came back from this 10-day journey from Hunan yesterday. Traveled all the way through Changsha, Zhangjiajie, Jishou, Fenghuang, Changde, Taoyuan and Zhuzhou, amazing! You shouldn't know how amazing it was until I put it physically.
The journey is even more amazing because it was only once in 5 months! Long enough to wrinkle me more grown-up! It's meant to be fairly romantic if only without those car sicknesses, stomachaches, vomiting, diarrhea and influenza.
It is breathtaking to tour around Zhangjiajie, our first stop. By breathtaking I also mean it literally. Climbing up those spectacular mountains, as the tour guide suggested, it was totally up to us whether to go up there by sightseeing elevator, cable car, or walk up, and the truth is if you choose the third option, it can really take your breath away!
Once we get to the mountain top, I thought everything worthwhile. What do you think Lester?
The cable car ticket is quite smart a post card too, Lester had it sent to a close friend and I failed to think of any one to whom I could right the correct address so I sent it back to myself.
Fenghuang is much cozier.
Lester told me it is enjoyable to live in a room right by the river. Not only with a view, hearing the sound of Miao Ladies banging their laundry mixed with that of the water flow before you get up is even pacifying. So we get a riverside room the next day in this beautiful and yet crowded town.
It was happy to have met with Gugan, Xiaolinzi, and Fangjie in Taoyuan although I couldn't quite understand the fast Taoyuan dialect. They are nice people and every one of them can sing really well. I also had my haircut in this town. The hair dresser who is also the owner was quite strong and she made me hurt a little.
I had a really really really unforgettable birthday with Lester and Ben in Zhuzhou. Ben bought me a delicate birthday cake, and toured us across the bridge. He should be much more qualified than Wangdao as a tour guide, and he is definitely a star. Listening to him singing is just pleasant especially when he sings a song that touches your most inner self.
Poor Lester suffered a lot on the way! Thank him indeed. I had an extremely good time in your place!
