Warm afternoon
Hot 2 |
After a week's work, I got a moment to rest. My friends tell me it is the season when it is easily going to feel sleepy in daytime. Absolutely, it is. Not so hot and not so cold. A little bit warm and the soft wind blows and tousles face, as if living in a paradise without being bothering.
Today, there is a video posted online which is so hot for people to discuss. That Chinese tourists who were madly sweeping down in a tax free store in Thailand. All of those people seemed to lose mind to have shrimps and fetch them by handing to plates. Some of them were playing as a clown through proficient acrobatics by overlapped plates in layers. Oh dear lord. Natives were totally shocked. This video was uploaded on Facebook and caused a severe shock to foreigners. They were stunned by such a behavior. The worse was those tourists just took too much of food, while finally they just did not have them all. The leftover of shrimps and candies was extremely dazzled people's eyes. As if those tourists never have had shrimps as of their birth.
Most of us own the habit of touching those relics wherever they have been at, home and abroad. It must be a cool feeling by rising an unicorn statue and having it pictured, as a proof of showing some greatness they have achieved and conquered. The satisfaction never ends until the some words such as "A full trip to here", curved on a wall of the old temple or a precious structure.
Forget it. I choose to pass by those beautiful flowers and ancient architectures, leaving nothing but my admiration. The lake is always my garden to visit for the mercy from nature.

- The weather is warmer but it is extremely wet with a humidity measure of 98%. Everything feels wet and soggy. The walls are even dripping with water. It would turn better next few days and summer is quite near.
Chinese tourists going overseas should mind their behavior and manners. My home is in the tourist area with several large hotels nearby, and I have seen all sorts of visitors. There is a big difference between those who are educated and those who are common people. The educated ones are so polite and cultured. Quite of lot of them speaks English well and asks me for directions and information. Some a impolite, spit and relieve themselves at the subway stations and immaculate shopping centers. It is quite amusing. Here people only speak Cantonese and English and most people can't speak Putonghua, so it is hard to find your way if you can't speak English. They also seems to be quite impressed by our systematic and well regulated way of life.
We are in the middle of Spring and everywhere there are beautiful flowers and there is also a flower fair going on.

- The summer is not far away. This is the moment people can enjoy the best season of this year. All is new and vivid. The humidity here is just fine, not so high and not so low. Thus, I do not feel very dry of the air and need not worry too much of high humidity which always makes me uncomfortable.

The rainy days would arrive at the mid of June, or it could come at an early time at the beginning of June. During that period, it usually lasts around twenty days, it becomes very wet in the air. All of those things easily mildew under that condition.
Now is just fine. And from 22nd of this month to the end of May, it is considered to be golden time for tripping around here. Flowers and green trees, warm weather and comfortable temperature, all makes the best suitable environmental enjoyment.
As I have told you before, these days, particularly, on weekends, tourists are coming to the Lake, and some other resorts to have fun. And I choose to those remote rural countryside nearby the Lake. After hiking for a long time, I can choose a village's house to rest up by ordering a cup of tea and some dishes. Appetitive and palatable.
As to the self cultivation of people, it still needs us to be aware of its importance about behaving themselves. That lies in the upgrading of education systematic teaching. We should focus on many fields, not just on the score students make in the exams, but also some others, such as how to be a good person by studying and inheriting splendid tradition merits, and form the concept of self studies about daily behaviors, etc.
Anyway, most of us more or less can speak some English. The trend of globalization puts us together being a big family all over the world.
Have a good day.

- Yeah, beautiful spring !!! Nice weather.. Unfortunately, I have missed out spring in China since 2003.
Most years I had 2 winters , one in Melbourne, one in China.
Sounds funny the video, however,I would not like westerners judge Chinese by a stupid video.. I have noticed, western media used to report silly things about Chinese rather than the positive ones.. Sometimes I got upset about that , .. I hate it ..

- The land here has many beautiful scenery. Not just the winter, here, the West Lake proves its beauty all year around. I can go there at any time to see its beauty.

As the winter, I do like it very much. One reason is that we do not meet frequently. Especially the snow, we rarely have the chance to see that. I like that kind of coldness.
Sometimes, we meet different people, they are good, or not so good. Thus, we see many scenes of people behave in good or bad. Wherever we are at, we just want to live in a peaceful and comfortable condition where we can lead a happy life.
