原来并不想去瑞士,因为听到关于瑞士的好话太少。但是法国南部和法兰克福间的交通昂贵且周折,不得已取道日内瓦飞尼斯,于是便有了这个古怪的瑞士、法国南部游组合。
其实,我自己的经验是,不管别人怎么评说,想去的地方还是要坚持去。因为旅游是太私人太主观的一种游历。每个人对于同一个地方的感受因天气、因同游、因酒店、因语言、因时间限制或因艳遇:)而大相径庭。最现成的例子,我喜欢大多数国人并不怎么推崇的柏林,而对游人如织的巴黎无动于衷。
虽然去年3月去过南部普罗旺斯的Avignon和Nimes,但是人气太旺的尼斯、戛纳和摩纳哥由于地处地中海沿岸,对beach的挚爱还是让我难以免俗。心脏已经做好准备,去看一下富人们如何极尽奢华地生活,作为鞭策自己的强心剂也好啊。
2005 New Year’s Eve, Tromso, Norway.
It was the first time that I had ever seen the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. Flickering curtains of dancing light against the dark sky, the beautiful blaze of pale green celestial lights is just like our tumultuous life. We seldom have a clue where life is leading us to, nor do we know the showtime of our life journey’s finale. The present is the only gift we can hold tight. If you can choose to be happy, don’t choose to be sad. Regardless of the problems swirling around you, move through life with grace, warmth, and vigor. Most importantly, stay emotionally elevated.
Feel the living, feel the happiness, and that’s right the meaning of life.
我们唯一能牢牢握在手里的就是此刻;如果你能选择高兴,就一定不要选择悲伤。如我这样的悲观者才能真正快乐地活着。
感受生活,感受 幸福。这就是生的意义。
