TIBET 2007--my heart at tibet
最後一天了。 我想我是三人中最不捨得的一人——X個性比較瀟灑,C則是理性至上的人,她沒有我這種多愁善感。 我們決定一起去吃早餐,然後出發到哲蚌寺。另一個像古城那般的寺廟。 去到那兒,我嘗試不想那麼多,只看風景。可是,還是,忍不住有點點的傷感。 友人C則一於少理,繼續看那些漂亮的雕刻和圖案。 不久,我就與她失散了。之後,見到X,於是與他一起遊覽哲蚌寺,慢慢的走,嘗試珍惜還在西藏的日子。 我想,X也感到我的不捨吧…… 我倆一直走啊走,也不見C。於是走到門口坐下等C下來。我們...

SUMMER 2005
First stop was London. Great city to be in but just a little creepy at night if you are not used to it (was targeted for a mugging). Not the same as toronto where I've gotten used to the streets being safe at night but I would definitely go back and vi...
