The Other Space

 

真恼火，LG竟然买了到西宁的无座票！想到要挤在过道里闻汗臭味且待一个晚上甚至再加一个白天，就递给他一个埋怨的眼神。God bless me!

寄希望能补到卧铺票吧！

“嘟————”上车喽，挤——挤——挤，我在人群里被挤上了车。车厢里很热，过道里堆满了行李，空间则塞满了归乡的人们。“唉”，我又递去一个埋怨的眼神。他赶忙离身去补卧铺。看着他从人堆里挤着往前挪，不免又心疼。。。

旁边是个三人座，三个年轻女孩都很苗条，边上的女孩点头示意我可以坐下。我赶忙占领一席之地。坐下也并不好受，不时有人穿过过道去洗手间，我就需要挪动身体让出空间。旁边有人在吃鸡翅，津津有味，虽然已是夜里十二点，我看得是饥肠辘辘。

让我一小块地儿的女孩换了座位，留给我的地方更小了，看来人家也不愿意了。我知趣地起身站起来。还好，LG回来了，几米外，只见他满头大汗，红光满面，外套脱了，举在头顶上，向我这边一步步靠近。

我赶快接过他的外套，这才感觉到车厢里令人窒息的高温。他喘着说：补到了。

啊，太好了！心里一下放松了很多。看看满满的车厢，不禁犯愁怎么穿行到卧铺车厢。他说，刚刚几次差点踩着人脑袋，

 It has always my dream to experiece Tibetan culture on the highland.

 It is realized now, but the dream is waking up as i am getting lost in Lhasa.

 I got lost in Potala Palace by its sublimity and beauty. So many budda images made of gold and silver make me wonder the religion's amazing power. 

 I got lost among the praying mobs by their fidelity nearbly Jakhon Monertery.

 I got lost in Sera Monestery by the poor kids mobs dragging my legs and arms begging for money.

 I am in meditatio at present, thinking about the most impressive colors in Tibetan culuture: Red and White, the former symbolize power and authority, the last one for peace and fortune.

 And the dirty dark red faces of those little beggars are stilling hauntin in my mind: innocent eyes.

 

 山沟沟之行:

 住在五星级标准的陆羽山庄, 一幢幢小别墅错落有致, 周围是起伏连绵的山头,绿意盎然, 由于刚下过小雨, 山间清雾深锁,犹如仙境,一时竞忘了人在世间种种烦恼.

 

 

 

山上竹林深深,间或是瀑布飞下,小桥流水.

 

 

 

 

 

 

   天气与心情有关系吗?

   我希望答案是肯定的,不然,就说明此刻的我不正常了,是不是?

   天气冷了,感觉到水也开始凝重不动了,近日不曾去西湖看那里水的样子,却能隐约地感知遥远家乡的海水. 颜色一定不是夏天的清蓝了,波光一定不是那时的明晃晃了. 此时,家乡的海一定把所有的温度都深埋在了两万英尺以下.

   天冷了,动物可以hybernate. 人呢? 多穿件衣服,该干啥干啥去!

   该干啥干啥去! 我该准备期末考试了. 我该写篇论文投投了.我该安定下来生活了.我该给久未联系的老同学打个电话问候一下了...

   该干啥干啥去! 天气与我的心情没有关系,与你的心情没有关系. 没有什么借口. 天是原来的天,什么也不曾改变,改变的是你眼中的天和世界...

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he will resign because the country needs a new leader that people can support and trust. Mr. Abe made the announcement at a news conference in Tokyo today after battling winning public support for months. Japanese media say the ruling party is planning an election for Mr. Abe s successor on September 19. Mr. Abe says Japan needs a new leader in its fight against terrorism. He took office last September vowing to boost Japan s participation in global security and to revise the country s pacifist constitution. He threatened last week to resign if parliament did not extend Japan s naval support of US troops fighting in Afghanistan. The opposition Democratic Party opposes the extension. The party defeated Mr. Abe s ruling coalition in Upper House elections in

… BBC correspondent in Baghdad says the move is highly symbolic. And there is now speculation that Britain will hand over control of the whole Basra province to Iraqi security forces in the next few months. The leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats Menzies Campbell told the BBC the pullout was part of the end game in Iraq. “Political support in this country is draining away; political support in the United States is draining away. And the decision to move the British troops from the Palace to the airport is part of the implied recognition that there's a limit now to what we can usefully do in Iraq, a limit which in my judgment has been reached to the extent, that we ought to have a framework for the total withdrawal of all of our troops. '

Britain says that its troops in Iraq will now be moving to w
