蓝天白云, 沙滩大海


毛里求斯 (Mauritius) 这么可以那么迷人... 阳光,微风,细白幼柔的沙,一望无际的清澈大海,明亮的天空,还有像棉花糖一样的云朵,是人间天堂,还是因为我们在渡蜜月,什么都甜蜜美好. 




这个在遥远印度洋中,世外桃源一般的小岛,没有拥挤的旅客,优哉游哉地,我和亲爱的文过着浪漫的二人世界,想起来还真像在做梦.




我们在毛里求斯的回忆,很深刻难忘,不能被取代. 



憧憬我们幸福的未来... 





我也到过南美洲巴西里约热内卢(Rio De Janeiro) 的Copacabana 海滩.
如果在谷歌搜 Copacanaba,资料都说是数一数二的世界著名的海滩,足以媲美夏威夷.很多足球明星,欧美艺人演员,歌手都曾经在这里被偷拍.我在 Copacabana 的海滩酒店住了两个星期,却谁也没遇上,还是我没把他/她们认出来?Copacabana 是全球十大海滩之一(入围的还有大溪地,马尔代夫,澳洲黄金海岸等等...) 我倒是觉得, 沙滩上穿比基尼的性感美女和一身古铜色的帅气猛男,让全程五公里长的沙滩热情洋溢,活力十足,让人兴奋且充满诱惑!!! 
常常在沙滩上都会看到小孩在玩泥沙建城堡,或顽皮的朋友把你整个人埋在沙堆里.可是 Capacabana 的沙城堡,让我大吃一惊,太不可思议了.我在想,如果我快速跑着冲过去把沙城堡破坏,还是走的很靠近然后假装跌倒把沙城堡弄毁,那个沙城堡的创造者肯定不会放过我.

到了夜晚,Copacabana 还是明亮如昼!


放工回酒店,休息,吃晚餐.然后,我就会和英国的同事在沙滩上散步来卸下一天的压力.我们爱停在的小摊子,听着海浪声,吹着夜里凉凉的风,轻松的闲聊着.他超爱喝当地的啤酒,清凉冰冰地,我则风雨不改要一粒新鲜的椰子,甘甘甜甜,很香,很好喝!!! 


另一个让我有深刻印象的海边是英国的 Hasting,在英国的东南部. 乘火车从伦敦的维多利亚站(London Victoria Station) 到 Hasting Station 大约需要两小时, 然而,迎接我的是美丽的大海和我第一次看到的海鸥.


海边是小石块, 不是沙. 海水冷得我不敢恭维, 那时夏天刚刚开始.




大家都在享受日光浴, 还算个繁忙的海边.




我应该到热浪岛一趟... 惭愧还没去国自己国家的夏日嬷嬷茶...

Horse Carriage Ride


Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop... this was a very romantic way to see the Bruges, a city located in the northwest of Belgium.




Let's start our ride!!!


The very friendly guide & horse carriage driver speaks English, Dutch and France throughout the one hour tour.

Sitting in a horse carriage make me feel like a royal family member, waving to the crowd...


One of New Seven Wonders of the World



New Seven Wonders of the World :

1. Great Wall of China (China)

2. Christ the Redeemer (Brazil)

3. Machu Picchu (Peru)

4. Roman Colosseum (Italy)

5. Taj Mahal (India)

6. Petra (Jordan)

7. Chichen Itza (Mexico)

Honorary Candidate. Great Pyramid (Egypt)


I have been to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - Christ the Redeemer in Brazil.
Christ the Redeemer is located at the peak of the 700 metres Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking Rio de Janeiro.
This status of Jesus Christ stands 39.6 metres tall and took nine years to complete the construction, was opened in 1931.
To me, the statue of Jesus Christ with open arms looks like a christian cross.

World Cup 2014

I'm crazy for World Cup although i'm not a full time football fans.





In Brazil, 12 cities have being selected to host matches at 2014 World Cup and I have been to three of them - Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre! What is more exciting is, i visited the final venue for 2014 World Cup - Maracana Stadium!

Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro was opened in 1950, when Brazil hosted World Cup for the first time! This open air stadium is 50 years old now, and it is the largest stadium in South America with an all seated capacity of 88,992.



Let me show you around the stadium.






Last but not least, Maracana Stadium will also host the Openeing and Closing Ceremonies of the 2016 Olympics. I wish i will be there again..



Chile & Andes

Welcome to Chile!





I was in Santiago, Chile spring 2009. The weather was excelllent and I did some sight seeing in the city, as well as Andes.
Andes are the world's longest exposed mountain range. They lie as a continuous chain of highland along 7,000 km the western coast of South America, extend over seven countries : Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. The highest peak, Aconcagua rises to 6,962 m above see level. (Mount Kinabalu, tallest mountain is Malaysia is 4,095 metres above sea leave)
It was spring and yet there was still snow on the mountain tops.
In winter, this is the best place for skiing and snowboarding.
The resorts and restaurant.
Enjoying a glass of hot chocolate with cream is the most wonderful time of my visit :)

柏林围墙


今天,你要怎么知道自已是走在东柏林还是西柏林?看看交通灯就知道了.

东柏林的绿灯,造型和一般的红绿灯没什么两样.


西柏林的绿灯, 是不是比较可爱? 



东柏林的红灯.


西柏林的红灯.



我在2008年的夏天到了德国.有好几个地方都让我印象十分深刻,而柏林围墙就是其中的一个.

开始上历史课了! 以下我当时拍下的照片和自维基百科的资料

名称:柏林围墙






外形: 155 公里长,3至4尺高



开始建造:1961年, 以铁丝网为材料, 后来被更换位砖墙


目的:德国首都柏林在世界第二次大战以後被分割為东柏林與西柏林,东德為了隔絕東德人民投向西德,於是沿著邊界在己方的領土上建立圍牆,將西柏林整個包圍起來。



逃亡:在該牆建立後,有人採用跳樓、挖地道、游泳等方式翻越柏林圍牆,共有5043人成功地逃入西柏林,3221人被逮捕,239人死亡,260人受傷。


倒塌:1989年11约9日, 新東德政府開始計劃放鬆對東德人民的旅遊限制,但由於當時東德的中央政治局委員君特.沙博夫斯基(Günter Schabowski)對上級命令的誤解,錯誤地宣佈柏林圍牆即刻開放,導致數以萬計的市民走上街頭,拆毀圍牆,整個德國陷入極度興奮狀態。





柏林围墙附近的一家纪念品小商店里头卖了不少围墙倒塌的石头,小砖块,壁画等等...
