NND, 真想让老外来读中文PAPER

今日闲来无聊. 突然想起吴靖喆,这个小学时的才女,初中毕业后似乎就米见过,于是上GOOGLE搜,果然不出所料,名字特别就是好找, 一下搜到她博客,顺带搜到几个写到她的博客. 其中一人名Elfe, 不知何人, 但一定是吴江人. 他/她的一篇博写到我亲爱的家乡, 转来一用:

 

"诗话垂虹

垂虹桥在它倒塌之前该是中国最长的联拱石桥吧？它始建于北宋庆历八年（公元 1048），原为木桥，几经修缮，最多时曾达99孔，泰定二年改建为白石垒砌的联拱石桥，共 72 孔长 500 多米，桥身三起三伏，长若垂虹。

在 1967 年的一个夏夜它轰然倒塌，仅存几个残缺的桥孔。如今这片地方建成了遗址公园，是我和臭黑晚上散步的好去处。

今天突发奇想，在百度国学里输入“吴江 桥”，想找找描写垂虹的诗词。一下子就在《全宋词》里找到了首令人笑绝的烂词：“渺然震泽东来，太湖望极平无际。三吴风月，一江烟浪，古今绝致。羽化蓬莱，胸吞云梦，不妨如此。看垂虹千丈，斜阳万顷，尽倒影、青奁里。”笑绝之余有些气绝。我挚爱的家乡，我小时候每日都会经过的垂虹遗址，竟被用无聊的华丽词藻不恰当地堆砌着形容，不忍卒目。

不甘心，从书橱里翻出了《笠泽诗韵》。这是一本吴江中学出版的小书。江中有两座孔庙，其间有很多石碑，小时候的托儿所就设在孔庙，我们总在石碑间捉迷藏。如今那里建了一个碑廊，满是历代名人咏吴江的诗词碑刻，而《笠泽诗韵》就是将这些碑刻的图片、诗歌集和而成的小册子。翻开小册子，惊讶于这么多如雷贯耳的名字：李白、白居易、杜牧、张先、苏轼、秦观、米芾、陆游、姜夔、唐寅还有爱新觉罗·玄烨。一首首细细读来，看到了“鲈乡”的出处，看到了“垂虹”的源头，还有那些水、船、莼菜、盘龙糕……从来没有哪次读诗能有今天这般感觉亲切。

西晋的张翰有《秋风歌》，“秋风起兮佳景时，吴江水兮鲈正肥”，借口思念家乡的莼羹鲈脍辞官回家。后宋朝的进士林肇学样，且由诗句“扁舟系岸不忍去，秋风斜日鲈鱼乡”中取二字命名鲈乡亭，亭一造好就归故里隐居。自此鲈乡即成吴江之别称。

张先的诗把吴江写得很清爽。“春后银鱼霜下鲈，远人曾到合思吴。欲图江色不上笔，静觅鸟声深在芦。落日未昏闻市散，青天都净见山孤。桥南水涨虹垂影，清夜澄光和太湖。”“桥南水涨虹垂影”一句，虽然没有“云破月来花弄影”等三句让张先自称“张三影”的句子精巧，但相传“垂虹”之名来源于此，还是值得记下一笔。

关于吴江，最有意味的一句诗我还是从余秋雨的书中看来的：“枫落吴江冷”。它的上句是什么？没人知道。这是唐代崔信明流传至今的唯一诗句。《新唐书》记载，“信明蹇亢，以门望自负，尝矜其文，谓过李百药，议者不许。扬州录事参军郑世翼者，亦骜倨，数恌轻忤物，遇信明江中，谓曰：‘闻公有“枫落吴江冷”，愿见其余。’信明欣然多出众篇，世翼览未终，曰：‘所见不逮所闻！’投诸水，引舟去。”对这位崔老兄，我是万分同情加一万零一分的幸灾乐祸。只是不知关于吴江他是否有别的佳句，若有，真的就可惜了。"

 

 

文中描写的诗句很多都是以前读过的,范仲淹那首"江上往来人，但爱鲈鱼美。君看一叶舟，出没风波里"写的就是吴江. 标题的"扁舟系岸不忍去，秋风斜日鲈鱼乡" 是赞美吴江的最有名的诗句之一了. 家里有<笠泽诗韵>,也有很多吴江诗话集,一本本小册子,放在厕上倒也经常翻看. 文中写的垂虹桥是当年在吴江中学读书时每天骑车路过的, 现在修了公园, 感觉失去了原来的味道. 江中的两座孔庙, 也是当年中午去曹总妈妈那里跟杂碎姐姐一起吃饭时每天路过的图书馆, 记得还进去学雷锋打扫过卫生. 不过后悔没好好利用多看点书. 好象某次春夏交错季节进去看书时穿了短裙还被沈艳艳盯着看了半天最后问我冷不冷...(她现在在某所医院工作了吧, 这帮小朋友都开始有自己的事业了, 就偶, 还在败家里的钱...555)  

 

还是喜欢原来安静的吴江, 现在太多的外来人口, 太多的经济建设, 不像个宁静的小镇. 昨日跟TT聊天,说是松陵被苏州吞并划为吴中区,不知是真是假,总之让我忿忿不平. 古典文学除了语文课外读的太少, 觉得吃了没有文化的苦啊, 今日再读些诗词, 倒也别有意味, 想念吴江, 想念吴江ning.

 

 

 

PS: 突然还想起计露含, 迟玉君(我的sensen), 可是找不到她们.这次GOOGLE也不顶用了. 各位看客,有消息的通报一声~

 

5000字的大PAPER终于搞定
长舒一口气先
说是今天DUE的 既然是今天么 半夜前交都不算过时 所以把老师下午3点多发来的邮件置之不理
老师这样说的
"YOUR PAPERS!  It is 3:20 and Avery closes at 5.  Where are your papers?"
因为教授要纸质版本的 所以一般塞他邮箱 但是放邮箱的那层楼5点关门 所以他这样催
还好这个邮件是群发的 不然我就被吓死 收到邮件的时候还在公司上班 哪有闲情写PAPER...
既然没说今天几点DUE 所以 应该没人理他... (可怜的教授)
8点半 论文搞定 5000字啊 今天都是自己写的 不容易
不过还是要特别感谢一些曾经跟笑亮雷雷他们一起搞的SRTP
今天我的PAPER主题是民工 所以用了一些以前写的东西 省了不少心
说到民工 也算作过两次民工的实地调研 朗诵比赛的时候是民工的主题 这次又写民工的PAPER 对他们既有同情也有感动
记得以前朗诵比赛我们小组拿第一名的时候春华写的诗:

 

生存之民工

 

 

我爱着这里

这里是钢筋水泥的森林

这里是灯火辉煌的欢场

这里有兴盛时的得意

也承载失意后的颓唐

这里是成者王侯败者寇的战场

这里是年轻的眼睛向往的地方

为了生存

为了家庭

为了摆脱那世代贫穷的诅咒

为了寻找幸福的时光

我们怀揣着一张车票，背井离乡

我们有着黝黑的面庞

粗糙的双手和宽阔的肩膀

我们不畏酷暑和冰霜

渐渐的，这里有了更多拔地而起的高楼

            有了更多宽敞净洁的马路

            有了更多光辉灿烂的霓虹

却也有了更多弯曲劳损的肩膀

有了更多劳累憔悴布满血丝的眼睛

和双眼之间那腼腆真诚的笑容

却是否有人记得

记得我们的模样

 

 

好想逃离这里

逃离四处鄙薄的眼神

逃离四处不堪的话语

当我从简陋的棚户中走出

当我龟缩在狭小污浊的车厢里

包围我的始终是刀锋一样冷酷的眼神

眼神里有那冰冷的笑意

盲流、盗贼、杀人犯

社会的暗疮在悄然滋长

我的身上缠绕着瘟疫，

人们叫嚣着要划清距离，划清距离

身在无尽繁华的最深处

却如同站在人潮汹涌的沙漠里

我有什么错么

是的，我只有这破旧的衣服

只有这裹满病痛的身体

只有这抹不掉的泥土的味道

这不受欢迎的泥土味道

我太熟悉那养育了我的泥土

人们欣然收割了粮食

却把泥土踩在脚下

牺牲 牺牲牺牲

千百个声音在大声呼喊

淹没了那被踩在脚下的泥土的哀号

 

 

 

我依然倔强的留在这里

留在这载满痛苦的地方

夜晚在温暖的被中梦到了家乡

温暖的小屋升起了柴火

我又做回了母亲的孩子

妻子的丈夫

孩子的父亲

泪水在粗糙的脸上无声地流淌

我们没有什么雄心壮志般的梦想

却仍怀着各自卑微的渴望

渴望着大房子，渴望着温饱，渴望着欢笑

渴望着粮食和蔬菜，渴望着幸福的地方

我们怀揣着渴望，涌向这人潮拥挤的地方

在这世俗的泥塘里

孵化着生命的渴望

不顾一路的受伤

一路的彷徨

拨开满布的荆棘

奔向那若有若无的光亮

 

 

 今天搜索文章的时候也有搜索民工之歌

 

据说这个城市有一千万人口，
    有的住花园别墅，有的住胡同平屋，有的住在海里头；

    可是我们没有一席之地，弟兄们，我们没有一席之地。

    据说这里是我们的历史和梦想，是我们的骄傲，

    我们像亲戚来串门，却也引起它的懊恼；

    它让我们呆在原地不动，弟兄们，它让我们原地不动。

    我们的原地，荒凉的地方只有不长五谷的山沟，

    我们逃离饥饿，寻找幸福，交通部门要走我们的所有，

    我们没有身份，派出所的人抓住我们说活该，

    “如果不交钱你就没有三证，对我们来说你就不存在。”

    可是我们存在，我们还活着，兄弟们，我们还存在。

    那从我们中间飞升上去的悄悄地说我们是一种文化。

    去到一个科研院所，他们论证说

    目前还没有我们的现代化计划，等下辈子再来找它；

    但这辈子我们怎么变化，弟兄们，这辈子我们怎么变化？

    我们交纳了增容费，暂且安身。

    老太太的小脚跑来可真是敏捷，逢年过节地喊着防贼；

    她指的是你和我呀，弟兄们，她指的是你和我。

    听说学者们的忧愁就像富人的富有，就像我们的匮乏，

    他们反抗现代性的异化，听说他们比我们活得光荣伟大；

    他们在绝望里令人感动，弟兄们，我们在绝望里无所适从。

    看到一只狮子狗裹着短袄，别着胸针；

    看到门儿打开，让一只猫走进门；看到人们都在出国；

    看到学生们扔砖头，看到“我的朋友比尔“在北大演说；

    看到春天的花和春天的鸟，

    看到一条鱼在饭店前的水池里自在地游，

    我们是新奇带一点儿糊涂，弟兄们，是新奇带一点儿糊涂。

    我们流浪，从80年代到又一个世纪，

    我看见这个城市日新月异，万家灯火；

    没有一盏属于我，弟兄们，没有一盏是我们的。

 

看到最后一句 真的要掉眼泪

我们 我们的政府 真的应该好好的去关心这些人

他们为城市作出了这么多贡献 却不被重视 得不到平等的待遇

 

 

 

把PAPER塞到教授的门缝以后 开始参加班里的PARTY

他们是6点就开始的 不过我到9点才参加

TOM过来跟我拥抱了一下 说觉得我的羊毛衫很好看 问我以后可不可以借他

然后看到我可能有些不解 Preeti就跟我说 Yuan啊 没关系的 他是GAY...

我吓一跳  啊了一声 然后Preeti跟Tom说 Yuan不知道你是GAY

然后TOM就很没事的跟我说 "对啊 我是GAY"

我又啊了一声..."are you kidding me?"

Preeti & Tom: "Why do you think I'm kidding you?"

Tom继续: "我真的是GAY! 求你了 我真的是GAY 没骗你! (后面三句是我编的)"

然后他们继续说John也是GAY啊 (John是我们班里的另一男生)

我傻了 他们好象在一本正经的跟我开玩笑 (这是我第一次 站在一个GAY前面...可能以前也有 但是起码偶不知道...)

反正我傻了

 

 

我去睡觉先 我傻了 哪有那么直接的...

 

 

 

 

 

今天出去调研

被冰雹砸到

躲到店里没事干

买了双鞋子

房间光线很适合拍照

都不需要PS调啦~

为什么一购物就开心呢

啦啦啦

重新去看那些关于大屠杀的文章,不可想象的震惊和悲伤,究竟是什么,让他们做出了这样的事情

 

9.11 死亡人数 3646人, 相比之下, 南京的300000是个多么难以想象的数字. 记得在南京的时候, 听说学校跟宿舍之间曾经的进香河, 屠城的时候就是一条血河, 北京西路当时也是屠杀的地方，南京, 现在的繁华下面,有多少冤屈的灵魂. 也无怪乎,总感觉南京是个温存的城市,太温柔太和顺, 让人浮躁不起来. 记得每年这个时候,南京都会响起警笛声的. 心里响一下. 想念南京.

 

ZZ FROM QQ NEWS:

今年是南京大屠杀70周年。南京大屠杀，在国家与国家，国人与国人之间如鲠在喉。
    1937年12月13日，南京城沦陷，30万以上中国人被残杀。日军在疯狂杀戮的同时，还大肆奸淫妇女，进行大规模的抢劫、焚烧和破坏。其手段之残忍，行为之野蛮，令人发指。这段血腥的历史是现代文明史上最黑暗的一页，是每个中国人都不该遗忘的耻辱。这场浩劫是中国人永远的伤痛，也是全人类的耻辱。从某种意义上说，它的性质比二战时德国纳粹杀害犹太人更严重，毕竟纳粹屠犹是一个党屠杀一个民族，而南京大屠杀是一个民族屠杀另一个民族。这值得整个人类深思。

有很多图片和文章,还有VIDEO

 

 

考完试,终于考完了,不过还有两个PAPER,现在没有心思写.开始洗衣服打扫房间,两个星期没打扫房间,竟然这么脏,不能忍受了.以后有钱千万不能住百老汇旁边,又灰又吵,来过我家的人都知道,纱窗上直接可以用毛笔沾了练书法. 我也有点整理癖,不过我们六楼住了个疯子,超级整理癖.

 

今天早上7点起来上厕所,发现ARTEMIS的房间开着,厕所灯大开,地上放着三个桶, 一股恶臭;厨房灯坏了,想喝水,看不见.厨房桌子上的东西全部被挪走,留下一滩黄水,非常恶心.想问ARTEMIS发生了什么事,可惜没见她人(后来才知道去找我们的管理员了). 其实我一看这架势就知道发生了什么,因为有一次我一个人在家的时候,厕所的天花突然开始漏水,此时已是晚上,管理员下班了,只好拨紧急电话,连2楼的人都来问我怎么回事,管理员来了以后检查了半天说,六楼的人在清理地板,所以其实1-5楼都在漏水 -- 姑且不说纽约这个房子有多烂吧, 随便漏漏就一通到底. 6楼的地板清理完毕, 这个事情也就这样过去了.

 

今天是怎么回事呢?听说是这样的, 我一屋的学历史保护的学生写PAPER写到早上6点,想去洗澡休息一下,发现厕所正在下雨; 另一室友建筑学学生ARTEMIS在工作室干活到早上6点回家,发现走廊在下雨...于是,两人去找管理员,并且听漏水的声音摸索到6楼,可是那个蛮横的人不承认,于是她们上了7楼,7楼一点没事,好了,锁定6楼. 那个人原来是整理癖, 也许是洁癖? 他只是让水龙头一直开着, 放水....他把所有的东西全部拿出来堆在他家门口,整理房间....可怕的人. 我们家的厨房刚刚新装修好, 哥大又要为这个可怕的人多花几两银子了. 听说法官以前都找过这个人, 不过似乎拿他没办法, 不知道这次会不会控诉他... 不管怎样, 现在厨房的灯是不能用了, 还得等明天干透了重新装....

 

预计明天又要下雪,为什么还有PAPER,真是郁闷...

 

 

 

 

PS: 听听同学在BLOG里写到了偶,好开心呀. 杂碎同学写他老姐也带到我一点,好开心呀. 偶的记性不好, 欢迎大家多写啊  哇卡卡

 

 

PS2: 大白兔 这次字够不够多...

 

PS3: 想念吴江的盲人推拿 ;(

 

一边下饺子

 

一边烤饼干

 

昨天在St. Paul Chapel

听古琴 听琵琶

 

来自欧洲的古典乐队和中国的古琴

 

琵琶皇后-章红艳

霸王卸甲 演到动情处 想象那场景 感动的想流泪

 

爸爸说 原先想让我学琵琶的...可惜没学成

 

笛子演奏家Raho Langsepp

 

老外古琴第一人 John Thompson

听说中国真正的古琴演奏家也就三人...听说而已

老外不容易啊!

此人健谈

 

搜了一下中国古琴网

每个手势都有眉目

 右手举指起势“春莺出谷势”               右大指托擘势“风惊鹤舞势”

   右食指抹势“鸣鹤在阴势”                右食指挑势“宾雁衔芦势”

  右中指勾剔势“孤鹜顾群势”               右名指打摘势“商羊鼓舞势”

  右大中指大撮势“飞龙拿云势”             右食中指齐撮势“螳螂捕蝉势”

  右名中食指轮势“蟹行郭索势”             右食中名指泼剌势“游鱼摆尾势”

 右名中食指剌伏势“鹰隼捷击势”           右食名（中）指打圆势“神龟出水势”

   右食中指蠲势“幽谷流泉势”              右中食指双弹势“饥鸟啄雪势”

　 右食中指圆搂势“鸞鳯和鸣势”             右食、中指锁势“鹍鸡鸣舞势”

  右食、中指全扶势“风送轻云势”           右名、中、食指索铃势“振索鸣铃势”

　

听上去很有味道

这样传统的东西到底是底蕴十足

只是 为什么老外反而在弹

我们自己不弹了呢?

我问他 你为什么学古琴

他说为什么中国人学钢琴?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

今天纽约时代报上发表了08年要去的53个地方,发现除了最后一个纽约,哪里都没去过....下学期有个布宜诺斯艾利斯的STUDIO也不会报名去了,还好LAS VEGAS和SAN DIEGO过几天倒是有可能要去的.

1 LAOS

2 LISBON

Bargain-seeking tourists have long flocked to Lisbon, typically among the most affordable of European cities. But now the Portuguese capital is also emerging as a cultural force. The new Berardo Collection Museum (www.berardocollection.com), in the historic Belem district, boasts a major trove of modern and contemporary art. Designer hotels like Fontana Park (www.fontanaparkhotel.com) and Jerónimos 8 (www.almeidahotels.com) are attracting style-savvy travelers. And the Design and Fashion Museum, scheduled to open in late 2008, will go a long way toward cementing the city's avant-garde status.

3 TUNISIA

Tunisia is undergoing a Morocco-like luxury makeover. A new wave of stylish boutique hotels, often in historic town houses, has cropped up alongside this North African country's white-sand beaches and age-old medinas, drawing increasing numbers of well-heeled travelers. The Villa Didon (www.villadidon.com) in Carthage, for one, has a restaurant originally run by Alain Ducasse. Indeed, TripAdvisor ranks Jerba, a resort island off Tunisia's southern coast, as the No. 1 emerging spot in 2008.

4. MAURITIUS

Flying to the sugar-white shores of Mauritius is about to get easier. Virgin Atlantic just began nonstop flights from London to this tiny coral-ringed island off the coast of Madagascar, and it also recently became a hub port for Indian Ocean excursions by the Italy-based Costa Cruises. Meanwhile, new hotels are opening up, including a Four Seasons resort, Anahita Mauritius (www.anahitamauritius.com), that features four restaurants, three beaches and an ayurveda spa.

5. MID-BEACH, MIAMI

Move over South Beach. The iconic Eden Roc Resort (www.edenrocresort.com) and Fontainebleau Miami Beach (www.fontainebleau.com) — faded glitterati hangouts designed by Morris Lapidus — will reopen in 2008 after multimillion-dollar renovations, returning Mid-Beach to its former glory. Future neighbors include Gansevoort South, a W Hotel and a Mid-Beach outpost of the members-only Soho House.

6. SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI

Not to be outdone, South Beach will also welcome a red carpet of designer hotels: the Angler's Boutique Resort (www.theanglersresort.com) by Gianni Versace's former decorator Wallace Tutt; the Tides South Beach (www.tidessouthbeach.com), revamped by the design star Kelly Wearstler; and the Mondrian South Beach (www.mondriansouthbeach.com) by the Dutch design superstar Marcel Wanders. Meanwhile, Nicky Hilton's much-hyped dreams of running a hotel has ended up in bankruptcy court — and the auction block.

7. MALDIVES

The 2004 tsunami, a fragile ecology and a recent bombing have done little to dampen a hotel boom in this island-nation of about 1,192 coral islets in the Indian Ocean. Among the high-end hotels expected to open next year is a Regent Hotels & Resorts (www.regenthotels.com) with 50 villas, many set over the water, allowing guests to observe the rich marine life while still lying in bed.

8. DEATH VALLEY

It's too early to predict, but recent heavy rains have some flower bloggers already speculating about a dazzling spring bloom in Death Valley next year. Death Valley is home to more than 1,000 species of wildflower, and in that special spring after a wet fall and winter, the brown desert landscape is carpeted with Technicolor fields of blossoms.

9. COURCHEVEL

The ultra-exclusive French skiing village of Courchevel may be overrun by Russian billionaires these days, but that has only fueled the resort's consumption of Cristal jeroboams and high-ticket hotels. The sumptuous Hotel de Charme Les Airelles (www.airelles.fr) reopens this month following a $31 million renovation, and, late next year, Le Padisha ups the ante with rustic-chic apartments starting at 1.3 million euros, or $1.95 million at $1.50 to the euro.

10. LIBYA

It's on and off (and on again) for Libya. Four years after the United States government lifted a ban on American travel, this socialist North African nation is going green. The eldest son of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the leader of Libya, is developing a carbon-neutral resort along the country's pristine Mediterranean coastline, home to stellar Greek and Roman ruins and endangered seals. Luxury hotels and golf courses are planned, as well as a new airport in Tripoli. But red tape remains. Tour operators have canceled trips because of visa holdups, and last month planeloads of European tourists were turned away under an odd rule that requires foreign passports to be translated into Arabic.

11. HVAR

As Croatia's Dalmatian Coast has become a new Riviera, Hvar has become its St.-Tropez: a tiny village that fills with yachts and international partyers over the summer. While the waterfront Carpe Diem (www.carpe-diem-hvar.com) remains the island's night-life center, narrow stone alleys are lined with chic cocktail lounges and hotel terraces, including the rooftop pool at the new Adriana hotel, Croatia's first Leading Small Hotels of the World member (www.suncanihvar.com/adriana).

12. PUERTO VALLARTA

Maybe it is the lasting memory of the gay icon Elizabeth Taylor's scandalous affair with Richard Burton during his filming of “Night of the Iguana” in the early 60's, but Puerto Vallarta is becoming gayer by the year and is now poised to overtake Acapulco as Mexico's leading gay beach. There are now some dozen gay-friendly hotels (www.gayguidevallarta.com/Lodging/gay.html) and a glut of bars and clubs clustered along the aptly named Zona Romantica.

13. SYLT

With a nickname like the “Hamptons of Germany,” it's only a matter of time before jet-setters discover the North Sea island of Sylt. Known for its nudist beaches, reed-thatched houses and designer stores, the T-shaped island has long been popular with German celebrities, particularly television stars and sports figures. But now getting there is a simple hop from London and a dozen other European cities, thanks to the low-cost carrier Air Berlin.

14. PRAGUE

The verdict is in. The Next Prague is ... Prague. Stag parties have moved on, bohemians have left for cheaper rents, and youth hostels are being squeezed by luxe hotels. Joining a new Mandarin Oriental next year is the Augustine, converted from a monastery and other buildings into a Rocco Forte hotel (prague.roccofortecollection.com), and the just-refurbished Hilton Prague Old Town (www.prague-oldtown.hilton.com), with a buzzing restaurant opened by Gordon Ramsay.

15. QUITO

If you've been to Quito, Ecuador, there's a good chance you were heading to the Galápagos. But Quito, the colonial capital perched 9,200 feet up in the Andes, is no longer just a whistle stop. The city's crumbling historic center, one of Latin America's least altered, has been reborn after a seven-year, $200 million renovation. And a crop of upscale hotels has arrived, including a JW Marriott (www.marriott.com), making Quito a glorious new center in the so-called Middle of the World.

16. LIVERPOOL

There's more to Liverpool than just the Beatles. Next year, this industrial city celebrates its 800th birthday (and its designation as European Capital of Culture), as it trots out everything and everyone, from Turner Prize artists to young emerging bands like the Zutons. But make no mistake: The headliner is Paul McCartney, who is returning to play the “Liverpool Sound” concert at Anfield Stadium on June 1 (www.liverpool08.com).

17. MUNICH

Wi-Fi beer gardens, lederhosen-wearing hipsters, hybrid Mercedes-Benz taxis. No wonder Monocle magazine recently named Munich the world's most livable city. The Bavarian capital might get shortchanged when compared with Berlin in terms of liberalism and creativity, but Munich has a robust economy that stimulates high fashion, cutting-edge cuisine and cushy living — not to mention a new Jewish Museum (www.juedisches-museum.muenchen.de), 79 years in the making, and a posh new hotel in the heart of the city, the Charles, from hotelier Rocco Forte (www.charleshotel.de).

18. IRAN

What Axis of Evil? Upscale tour operators are tiptoeing into Iran next year, offering trips that explore the ancient country's Persian treasures and olive-green desert plains. Next spring, the luxury cruise liner Silversea will make stops in the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas on its Dubai to Dubai cruise. And California-based Distant Horizons (www.distant-horizons.com) is organizing two 18-day trips that start in Tehran and then weave through the once-forbidden countryside, including stops in Shiraz and Isfahan. Prices start at $5,390 per person.

19. TUSCANY

All those rolling fields of green. The cypress-lined fairways. It's surprising that there aren't more golf links in Tuscany. For better or worse, a new course has just opened for guests at the Terme di Saturnia resort (www.termedisaturnia.it ) in southern Tuscany. The nine-hole course covers 247 acres surrounded by wheat, sunflowers, oats and olive groves — that is, until the next nine holes go in.

20. ANGUILLA

Just when you thought the Caribbean island of Anguilla couldn't get any fancier, the Kor Hotel Group is opening the Viceroy Anguilla — the latest offshoot of its Viceroy brand (www.viceroyanguilla.com) — in the spring. The hotel will have 172 luxury accommodations, a 15,000-square-foot spa and beach clubs set along 3,200 feet of private waterfront.

21. BOGOTÁ

Bogotá might be remembered for its death squads and gang violence, but this Colombian megalopolis — the fourth-largest city in South America — is cleaning up its act and drawing tourists with its cultural diversity and colonial charms. A new Hilton hotel is being built, and three U.S.-based airlines — JetBlue, US Airways and Spirit Airlines — recently applied for the chance to offer direct flights into Bogotá.

22. PLAYA BLANCA, PANAMA

Playa Blanca is about to hit the tabloids. Nikki Beach, the très chic beach club in South Beach and St.-Tropez, is opening a gated resort in the once-quiet fishing village on the Pacific coast of Panama (www.nikkibeachpanama.com). The developers are already calling it the “sexiest project in Panama.” Less fabulous families need not worry. Superclubs (www.superclubs.com), the all-inclusive resort, is also dipping its toes into Playa Blanca with the 300-room Breezes Panama, scheduled to open in 2009.

23. ALEXANDRIA

The former home of Cleopatra is rising. Alexandria was among the ancient world's greatest cities, but it had fallen into oblivion. Now a string of new monuments is bringing the so-called Pearl of the Mediterranean back. A gleaming $200 million library, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (www.bibalex.org), resurrects the ancient library in steel and glass. A new Four Seasons (www.fourseasons.com/alexandria) stands in the stately Stan Stefano plaza. And throughout town, the city pulses with new shops and upscale cafes.

24. MAZATLÁN

A faded spring-break haven on Mexico's Pacific coast, Mazatlán has been drawing American retirees and second-home buyers to its less-crowded beaches and cheap real estate. Few tourists show up, partly because there are few hotels. That's changing. A half-dozen resorts are now in the works, including Diamond Beach, a $1.2 billion development with high-rise hotels, a golf course and condominiums.

25. ST. LUCIA

St. Lucia's upscale progress marches on. After the arrival of eco-hedonistic resorts like Jade Mountain and Discovery at Marigot Bay (which just launched a solar-powered ferry), big-name resorts with $1,000 rooms are on the way. Scheduled to open next year are the Residences at Ritz-Carlton (www.theresidencesstlucia.com), the Westin's Le Paradis (www.leparadisstlucia.com) and the RockResorts' the Landings St. Lucia (www.thelandingsstlucia.com). There's even a private jet terminal in the works.

26. OSLO

In addition to being one of the world's most expensive cities , Oslo is burnishing its reputation as a design and architecture center. Next April, the futuristic National Opera House (www.operaen.no) will open at the head of the Oslofjord, sheathed in white marble. It will be joined by two new design hotels: Thon Hotel Gyldenlove (www.thonhotels.com ) and Grims Grenka Hotel (www.grimsgrenka.no).

27. BUENOS AIRES

Marketed as the first five-star gay hotel in Latin America (but also “heterofriendly”), the new Axel Hotel Buenos Aires (www.axelhotels.com) confirmed what many gay travelers already knew: the Argentine capital is becoming South America's next party capital. Situated in the bohemian-chic neighborhood of San Telmo, the 48-room hotel features Eames furnishings, a gymnasium and a poolside bar.

28. RIMINI, ITALY

Rimini's nine-mile stretch of sand along the Adriatic Coast once attracted holiday crowds. But the birthplace of Fellini has been reborn as Italy's bling party capital, drawing style-conscious Romans to its raging club scene, cool boîtes and designer hotels, most notably the new DuoMo hotel (www.duomohotel.com) designed by Ron Arad.

29. MALAWI

Blame Madonna. Safarigoers tended to overlook Malawi, but that has changed since she began her effort to adopt a 1-year-old boy from this tiny African country that lies within the Great Rift Valley. Next July, the luxury lodge Pumulani (www.pumulani.com) is set to open 10 villas on spectacular Lake Malawi, home to rare cichlids and pied kingfishers.

30. ROATÁN

The sleepy Honduran island of Roatán, known for scuba diving and fishing, is waking up with big plans, with both Royal Caribbean and Carnival building new cruise terminals there, and the Westin Resort & Spa Roatan scheduled to open in mid-2008.

31. MOZAMBIQUE

Since gaining independence in 1975, Mozambique has moved from a war-torn society to one of Africa's economic success stories. Now its 1,500 miles of pristine coastline is being fashioned into a “fair trade” tourist destination. High-end lodges with low-environmental impact are being built along the Bazaruto Archipelago, home to endangered sea cows, staghorn coral and mangrove forests. Farther north, the Guludo Beach Lodge (www.guludo.com) offers nine luxurious tented bandas along the beach, with proceeds going back to the local village.

32. KUWAIT CITY

Yes, there's a war next door. But that's not preventing Kuwait City, a bustling metropolis on the Persian Gulf, from welcoming new air service (direct United flights from Dulles Airport near Washington start this month), playing host to international boat shows, or opening a slate of opulent hotels. The most talked-about is the Hotel Missoni, the first of several for the fashion house. Designed by the Italian architect Matteo Thun, it is to open next year.

34. LOMBOK

Lombok, a low-key Indonesian island east of Bali, is coming out of the shadows. With Bali oversaturated with villas and designer restaurants, tourists are hopping on short flights to find less-crowded beaches, a bigger volcano and better surfing. It's also cheaper — not that visitors are slumming it. There's already an Oberoi (www.oberoilombok.com), and other high-end hotels are on the way.

35. NORTHWEST PASSAGE

Notwithstanding last month's sinking of an Antarctic cruise ship, climate tourism is heating up. And few places are warming up faster than the Northwest Passage, the Arctic sea route over Canada. Adventure Life Voyages (www.alvoyages.com), for one, is already booking cruises for its Northwest Passage tour next August, with prices from $4,600 a person.

36. EASTER ISLAND

Remote Easter Island, famous for its enigmatic Moai statues, is getting its first luxury resort: Explora en Rapa Nui (www.explora.com). The 30-room resort combines futuristic pod-like design with natural materials like native volcanic rock and Chilean raulí wood, and offers seamless views of the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A three-night stay for two people starts at $3,588.

37. VIRGIN GORDA

Virgin Gorda, one of the lesser-known British Virgin Islands, is raising its profile. The Aquamare (www.villaaquamare.com) is set to open in March with three villas measuring 8,000 square feet, with in-villa spa treatments, observation decks and weekly rates starting at $12,500.

38. NAMIBIA

In the 17 years since Namibia gained independence from South Africa, this desert country on the West African coast carved out an early eco-tourist niche, with government-run campsites like Namutoni (www.nwr.com.na) in the Etosha National Park. Now the country is going eco-deluxe. (Might it have something to do with Brangelina?) Many lodges have just been refurbished with stylish décor and matching rates. And the private sector is following suit; Kempinski Hotels is planning five luxury hotels to open in the next few years.

39. SAN FRANCISCO

When the California Academy of Sciences (www.calacademy.org) opens next fall in Golden Gate Park, it won't just be a stunning architectural addition to San Francisco. The $500 million building, designed by the Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano, will feature a 2.5-acre living roof covered with native plants and aims to be the greenest museum in the world.

40. DETROIT

Historically crime-ridden Detroit may not spring to mind as a hot tourist spot, but don't tell that to the city's bullish hoteliers. Newcomers include the MGM Grand Detroit (www.mgmgranddetroit.com), the MotorCity Casino Hotel (www.motorcitycasino.com) in an old Wonder Bread factory and the historic Book Cadillac Hotel, being transformed into a Westin (www.westinbookcadillac.com). Plus, the Detroit Institute of Arts (www.dia.org) just reopened after a $158 million renovation.

41. ITACARÉ, BRAZIL

It ended up on several “it” lists before a single guest arrived. But the Warapuru (www.warapuru.com), a lavish eco-resort, is expected to finally open next year. Designed by the London-based Anouska Hempel, the resort has brought attention to Itacaré, an under-the-radar beach town on Brazil's north coast that draws celebrities and the elite of Rio de Janeiro.

42. KILIMANJARO

Time may be running out to see the most famous snows of American literature. The ice-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is melting at an alarming rate. Within several decades, scientists predict, the glaciers will have completely disappeared. Expect more adventure seekers to tackle the climb next year: One outfitter, International Mountain Guides (www.mountainguides.com), has seven trips scheduled for 2008. (Prices run $4,975 for the full two-week itinerary and $3,600 for the climb-only portion.)

43. ALGERIA

A nearly decade-long civil war made Algeria off limits to travelers. Now that the war has subsided (though a United States travel warning, citing terrorist attacks, remains) travelers are trickling back to this ancient land of oasis towns and cart-wide streets. Lonely Planet just published its first guide to Algeria. And tour organizers like Row International (www.rowinternational.com) are taking adventure seekers through the meandering alleyways of the Casbah and on camelback into the Sahara.

44. SAN DIEGO

Wildfires this fall didn't prevent the opening of the much-anticipated Hard Rock Hotel San Diego (www.hardrockhotelsd.com), a 420-room resort in the trendy Gaslamp quarter. The 12-story hotel includes a Nobu restaurant, two Rande Gerber bars, a spa and a Pinkberry frozen yogurt shop — all under one roof. Greasing the wheels is Virgin America, which is starting service between San Diego and San Francisco in February.

45. MÁLAGA

The southern coast of Spain is not just about high-rise hotels and water-gulping golf courses. Next June, Delta Air Lines plans to inaugurate nonstop service to the Andalusian port city of Málaga — a major cultural center, with its impressive array of museums and monuments, including an 11th-century Moorish fortress. Delta will fly from Kennedy Airport to Málaga's international airport, named after the city's favorite son Pablo Picasso.

46. PUERTO PLATA

Puerto Plata, the rowdy beach resort on the Dominican Republic's north coast, is about to get rowdier. Maxim, the racy men's magazine, is opening a 108-bungalow resort on Cofresi Beach, near the Las Vegas-style Ocean World Marina and Casino. Expect the drinking to start onboard JetBlue, which is offering nonstop flights between Kennedy Airport and Puerto Plata next month.

47. LONDON

King's Cross in London was once on the wrong side of tracks. But the district's fortunes are changing, thanks to the trans-Chunnel Eurostar, which moved its terminal last month from Waterloo to the reconstructed St. Pancras station. A Gagosian Gallery is there, along with cool bars and supertrendy restaurants like Acorn House (www.acornhouserestaurant.com), which has local foodies in a tizzy. Next up? A Renaissance Hotel with a ballroom.

48. VIETNAM

Three decades after the fall of Saigon, the city (now known as Ho Chi Minh City) has become an unlikely stop on the global golf circuit. In the past decade, old courses like the Dalat Palace Golf Club have been spruced up, and newer ones, like the Ocean Dunes Golf Club in nearby Phan Thiet, on the South China Sea, and designed by Nick Faldo, have raised the bar. Still to come: the Montgomerie Links, just off China Beach, and the first Vietnam course designed by Colin Montgomerie.

49. ESSAOUIRA

As Marrakesh gets more touristy, well-heeled Europeans are heading to the Moroccan port city of Essaouira, not only to trek through its ancient streets and windsurf on its beaches, but also to party. The Gnaoua and World Music Festival (www.festival-gnaoua.net), held every June for the past 10 years, now draws 250,000 fans for five days of music, art and budding friendships — a kind of Burning Man of Morocco.

50. LAS VEGAS

In case you missed those big gold letters, Donald T-R-U-M-P is coming to the Las Vegas Strip. The 64-story, 1,282-room Trump International Hotel and Towers Las Vegas (www.trumplv.com) is opening next spring, becoming, its Web site promises, the “most striking building on the Las Vegas Skyline.” If you're merely looking for “unparalleled luxury, sophistication, and contemporary chic,” then head to the new Palazzo Las Vegas ( www.palazzolasvegas.com), a 3,000-room sister to the Venetian, with restaurants by Mario Batali, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse and Charlie Trotter, as well as a Barneys New York.

51. BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA

The world's love affair with shiraz is bringing wine spectators to Australia's Barossa Valley. The hilly region is home to some of the world's oldest shiraz vines, some dating back to the 1840s. And if the more than 60 wineries aren't enough, Barossa also offers an artisanal cheese trail, and nearby Adelaide is a foodie destination in its own right.

52. TOKAJ, HUNGARY

Backpacking wine tours? The Hungarian wine region of Tokaj is regaining its reputation for quality whites, especially wheat-colored dessert wines made from furmint grapes. The region's winemaking was reborn after the fall of Communism. The Grof Degenfeld, housed in an old castle, even has a plush hotel that offers two-day packages starting at 191 euros, or $283 at $1.50 to the euro (www.hotelgrofdegenfeld.hu).

53. NEW YORK

The lights are back on Broadway. And the strike settlement couldn't have come soon enough for several well-publicized productions scheduled to open before the May 7 deadline for the 2007-08 Tony Awards. Among the more highly awaited shows are three revivals: A 40th-anniversary production of “The Homecoming,” Harold Pinter's play about a dysfunctional family (as if there were any other kind), starring Ian McShane; “Come Back, Little Sheba,” the William Inge chestnut, featuring the Emmy Award-winning actress S. Epatha Merkerson; and an inventive take on “Sunday in the Park With George,” Stephen Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize winner, which comes to New York via London and the Menier Chocolate Factory theater company. And for lovers of street theater, the action downtown in the meatpacking district continues to heat up with the arrival of the Standard New York hotel.

上个月Kyle同学给全系发邮件,说有没有人想练练手,帮他剃头,他保证给钱.

昨天看到他,头发越来越长,提起此事,我跟XU同学同声说,我来帮你剪吧!

他摆摆头,说不剪了,因为他跟SAKO(某日本同学)有个比头发竞赛

你们猜比什么?

 

比谁的头发"大".....

 

难怪最近两个人的头越来越爆炸

不过KYLE一定会输掉,明显西方人的黄头发太软太细了,长不了多长就塌下来了
