薔薇のない花屋

‘没有玫瑰的花店’-虽然只看了第一和二集,可以感觉得到这是一部会让我喜爱的电视剧。好久没看日剧,所以看到这样一部好的日剧,真的让人感动。日剧有一种魅力。一种展现智慧的魅力。跟韩剧相比,日剧不会让人有过腻的感动。一点点、轻轻的感动却有触碰心扉的能力。故事没有浪费时间的铺陈。剧情紧凑,每一分每一秒都有着重要的讯息。或许是我哈日,不过日本文化的确有很多吸引我之处。个人觉得新日本文化比旧日本文化来得更吸引人。新日本文化更加直接反映思想,虽然还带有一些含蓄/虚伪。我到现在的结论是这是一部温馨的,带有一点点的悬疑的电视剧。 确定我会继续收看。

在这里送上好听的主题曲,
山下达郎的‘ずっと一緒さ’。

纽约夜景




纽约确实是一个不夜城。深夜时还可以在街道上看到人潮。其中一部分是来自世界各地的游客。由于当时的天气非常寒冷(大慨是零下十度吧),我没有办法拍摄太多的照片,手指几乎冻僵。鼻水直流,而且脸部也挤不出太多的表情。说话也开始变的模糊不清了。还有就是鞋底不够厚。穿了两层的袜子,脚底还是会冻僵而使步伐放缓。

几经艰难,我还是和大家分享纽约美丽的夜景。

First Day in New York



Touched down at JFK Airport around 3pm. The weather was freezing cold although not as cold as Frankfurt. As what I would have expected, it took quite a long time before I finally got my luggage. I was darn worry that this might be another time that I would have my luggage delayed. Really lost of confidence with the domestic flights. After gotten the luggage for not too long, the 'Super Shuttle' arrived. It cost USD21 to get to Manhattan Midtown for about 1.5 hour as the shuttle would need to pick up passengers from different terminals and send the passengers to the doorstep of the hotels. I was rather shocked that the traffic in New York was very heavy. Probably got worsen due to the plane crash in Hudson River today.

Once got to the hotel, we quickly got change and got to the Broadway Theater at West 45th St to buy ticket for Billy Elliot at 8pm although not putting high hope that we could get any seats. But still, we were lucky. We managed to buy tickets for 2 seats with partial view, but it's really close to the stage. After the show started for a while, we realised that there were better seats and we took the seats as like what others did too. I am really impressed with the main actor, David Alvarez. He is so young, talented and charming. Despite the young age, he is already a professional performer. I am showing this video of him. There are 3 Billys in the video clip. David is the one with black curly hair.

在Frankfurt的第一天






Frankfurt的时间是比新加坡的时间迟了7个小时。今早抵达时的气温是零下12度。还可以看到残留地上的雪迹。今天参观了一些名胜古迹。不过,由于天气真的太冷了,所以没有太大的意愿在外头逛太久。现在已经是新加坡凌晨4点了。开始有睡意了。放了一些照片,我就应该睡了。
