Travel Journal in Pargue
7/29/11
Today I took the train from Berlin to Prague. It quite surprised me that if you have not reserved the seat, there won't be a seat for you. And there are lots of people on the train, even seating on the floor or in front of a toilet. Quite like china, though.
But the good thing is I asked a Asian girl where I can find the seat, and she is Chinese! You can hardly find Chinese in Germany... Then we can chat, and it won't be boring for 4 and a half hour without seat(we get the seat in the half way). We talked about a lot of things going on in china, and I found out I was so easy to be moved by something now. Be young again, because of the trip? I don't know....
The gentlemen by my side was nice, too. He told us a lot about the history and important places in Prague and help me defend my seat when I went to the restroom. We always met good people. I am lucky.
Then I meet Heidi and her roommate Sarah in the train station and they are from Austria. When we got into the dorm, found out the lady at the registration can not speak English. So happy and lucky Heidi can speak German. Then we went to restaurant and had dinner: very oily pork with beer!
That was today!
And P.S.....no curtain in the dorm and no lock in the bathroom. How crazy czech students are!
7/30/11 Raining all day
Walk around the city and got wet...
7/31/11 Dream in Prague
It is a great adventure so far. Heidi and Sarah are cute and cool. I am really so lucky to have them with me in this trip. We successfully made to the hospital today and Heidi had her test and treatment. Some people do not speak English, but we can communicate with them surprisingly well with some kind of body language. Language becomes unnecessary anymore.
It was so beautiful in the castle area, and the old town, too.
I don't think I can finish that tonight, and I will try write more about this trip after I go back to US.
8/1/2011 Kutna Hora
It is a nice and quite town, not as many tourist as in Prague. The bone church has 40,000 people buried in there. Kind of gloomy, but it is a place definitely worth visiting once. We had a walk through the city town and had a fantastic lunch with the soup I want-polevca (garlic soup). We running to the train station to catch up the train at 3:00, which I think Is really fun. It took an hour to get to Kutna Hora.
Back to Prague, I finally mailed my postcards in the main post office in Prague. A gentlemen helped me since people there do not speak English. It is a quite adventure these two days...
Now we planned to head to the cave restaurant-Pevek for dinner. Exited!
Talk to Heidi a lot about science, and I don't know if I should or not.
8/2/11 I don't want to be back
Finally, summer comes back to Prague! We got sunshine today and it was quite warm. I can wear my T-shirt and skirt that I can never wear during the past few days!
I sent more postcard today, and it is always feel sweet to write the postcard. I pretty much be myself today. Walk alone around the city. First is old town area. It is quite nice just walk there for a whole day. I bought some gifts and souvenirs from Manufactura, which is really nice store. People there are quite nice and introduce everything to you.
Then I cross Charles Bridge again under the sun. Everything is different under the sunshine other than rain. Lennon wall is in the little town, people started to draw John.Cannon style graffiti and Beatle lyrics on the wall since 1980 and then it become a site seeing point in Prague. Walk back through Charles Bridge I bought a CD from a local Jazz band and took a picture with them. I feel young again at that moment.
Walking down the river, two couples helped me took the pictures. People I met here are really nice, they all trying to help.
A young man singing by the river, people chatting, and sunshine all are over the river. I saw another face of Prague today.
Then I came to the dancing house, which is a controversy building in Prague new town. Very cute though, let me thought about the buildings in MIT. But it is away cutter than that.
Meet Heidi and Sarah in KFC, we are almost there at the same time. We grab some food in grocery store and then chatting and eating in the dorm for now.
"Can we afford it" ----one dollar beer said by Heidi when we all out of Kc
8/3/11 last day in Prague
I will be on the train very soon. Got up at 8:30 and packed all my stuff. I dreamed about him last night. That means I really should be back home now. The dorm is quite nice, except the lady at registration cannot speak any English. I will miss this dorm a lot. Left a note to our neighbor Musel, hoping he has seen our note. He helped us a lot in choosing restaurant and bar. I hope I can say Thank you in front of him... And P.S he is hot.
Head to the train station in a minute.
Now I am on a train back to Berlin. For some reason, they turned off the air conditioning and it is very hot. I have to distracted myself by writing my journals. I think I am running between winter and summer for several times. In Prague main train station I found wifi and post some pictures in Prague. It was kind of a mess for my pictures now because I did not have wifi all these days. I try to take any pictures as I can because I don't want to leave. But still I am so happy I can be back to US tomorrow!
Czech and Germany are totally two different worlds. When I just past the boarder of these two countries, I can really tell that. Within an hour I will be in Berlin again. The sky is so blue today and the farmers are harvesting corns. I hope I can open a window to breath.
Young people on the train are chatting about their happy or unhappy hostel experience. It seems like they are from different countries and met in the hostel, heading to Berlin together. I want to have the similar experience but I don't want to be alone for a long time. Traveling by yourself is a precious experience, though. I learned a lot from this trip. But now I need a hug.

Travel in Berlin 7/26~7/29
7/27/11
All day talk… and plus conference dinner and Japanese game. I video taped Carl playing the game. Remind me to show that on the lab meeting or something…
7/28/11
The last day of the conference.
Say goodbye to many friends. I couldn’t say goodbye nowadays…
Then to the checkpoint Charlie, which is all the German people ashamed of. It started to rain, finally, with so much beautiful and dark cloud everyday. Took bus 200, to the museum island. Carl recommend Pergamonmuseum and Neues Museum. He said I must go and put “wow” and “Excellent” on the tour guide book and handed to me. So… They are amazing, to those people will go to Berlin one day: You have to go to these two museum.
“Head to Prague tomorrow…Again, exited…”

7/26/11
City Tour in Berlin with two German Girls and and a Dutch guy (he is quite like Arjan, by the way). It was a beautiful day. We walk down the Under den Linden and had Currywurst. And Brandenbuger Tor, gendamenmarkt, Beliner Dom, Reichstasgebaeude, Posdamer Platz, and Berlin wall…
Then we head to the bar with a bunch of girls. “Almost drunk in Belin....because of Jägermeister...” ---Facebook status. I remember I cannot walk straight, but they promised me they would me would send me home safely.

I walked in the old street of Berlin and found out that the whole city is like a mysterious castle. Drinking beer in the Nikolaiviertel, the Alt-Berliner Milieu, I try to think about what it was like when Ibsen and many eminent writers enjoyed their time here.
Berlin is quite, except the sound of Subway. No one will across the street if the signal is red. People are nice even if they cannot speak English. They will try to make you understand. I think I understand every sentence they talked in German with me, through their body language or even their eyes. A lot of tourists ask me directions and how to buy subway tickets in Berlin when it is the first day I got here. I am not like a tourist, really? Maybe I just walk and think. There is always an old man standing by the wall and look at it. They are very old people and it seems like they never wanna leave…
072511
It was all day talk…Still cold and even colder than yesterday. Carl talked about my work for today’s presentation, and almost the whole talk is about CrtJ regulatory mechanisms. I was so nervous during that time, maybe because it is the first time my study is presented in front of so many people and in front of Max-Planck-Society… In the poster session, a Japanese professor was so interested in my work and it turned out he was working in Carl’s lab 10 years ago and knowing Dong and Sylvie very well. How small the world is, especially in a so specialized conference. I need much more sleep… I drank four cups of coffee today but still... I hate jet lag!

Time to update
There are two weeks before the Germany trip.
Things become beautiful behind a sunglasses.
I don't know about Tango, now. The only way to figure it out is to leave the town....Like everybody else.
Like my new phone, which let me share the images and thoughts every minute I want. And those funny apps I can play with.
My Mum says they are like paintings, not photos.

A song I like 6 years ago...
Have not open http://www.xiami.com/ for a long time.... Saw a comment to me on an album I like: Could you please tell me where I can find this? I don't know, really. Leave the things I like for a long time...
I think I need to share the song with you:
not a good version, though.

Pic from Maleva Shoes
Not my dream one though. I love the color but not the texture. Anyway, hope it will fit!
It is for my first tango week.

Skirt Friday
SeŽbastien asked me if I have special plan today when he noticed that I am wearing a black lace skirt.
I told him I wear skirt every Friday except I forgot it is Friday.
He said: no matter what the weather would be?
I answered: yes! I just get bored with Ts and Jeans...
I wear a beautiful lace skirt today but did experiments for a whole day...
I just can look forward to the Indianapolis Museum of Art tomorrow.

Always need something to cheer up...
Always get exited when a new roll of film get developed and scanned.
It was Christmas time..
It was Christmas time..
It is like an old movie.
Memory of last winter is not from Caribbean sea.
It is the snow, the lights on the tree and the warm wine in my hand.
Spring is around the corner.

Eternal Moment
原来将爱情进行到底翻译成英文叫这个。昨晚没事，在皮皮上把电影看了一下，挺有意思。我没看过那个98年的连续剧，但是电影原声和谢雨欣的专辑算是听烂了，中学的时候K歌，这些歌曾经一度稳居点歌榜榜首，那时候小珂的歌，真是中学女生的憧憬。
现在的电影主题曲味道不一样了，当然过了十几年了。
原来那时候的将爱里有廖凡，现在真是越来越帅了。
那时候的人写歌做连续剧真的是很认真，现在还记得北京的夏天，看过的第一个校园爱情剧，估计现在已经看不到那样的了，纯纯的校园纯纯的剧。。。

新生又来了
我在这的第三个年头迎新生，当然我也没怎么迎。07年初去北京面试误了飞机，在北京发光大厦里跟玲玲发明哥视频聊天，聊我做的克隆，聊厦大，聊大牛Dr.Jiahuai Han。11年初的今天被Dr.石头气得喝了两杯咖啡，中午听了一个精彩的talk，下午整了一下午没用的实验，现在还在想着我的tango鞋，想着在厦门某条通往火车站的路上有一栋很高很高的楼，叫“厦大产房”，其实当时念反了。。。。
office桌上有一排纸咖啡杯子，上面画着笑脸写着" Thanks", 荷兰人说他就想着某天把我的窗户全用杯子遮起来。
星期六去Uptown Café跟新生吃饭，周五和Luting一起去接一个叫Xinyun Cao的，莫非这个人也跟厦大有关？
天朝不能阅读此Blog....

Latin Flavors
周五一直疯到midnight，Latino dances 看着都觉得很诱人。屯里的Salsa group真强大阿，tango这种小众比起来学的人真是好少啊！我只能默默的认为tango难度太高，当然大多数美国人也只是想have fun，所以没事看看人家跳salsa也很欢乐。
照样跟困董同学摆拍，挺喜欢这个砖头墙的。
还有好多BLU Boy的巧克力，趁机猛吞了几颗，打着没有吃晚饭的旗号。
刚买了四月份芝加哥tango festival的票，才发现原来二月份只有28天呢！差点错过了学生打折。还是很激动的，在那之前尽早找到一双心仪的美鞋。。。
看到这种蓝色就走不动路，好想快点找到让我试一下。。。

又下雪了加上还没到手的新鞋子
小时候遇着下雪激动半天的那种心情，是因为生在长沙的我一年只能看到一两次。现在从每年11月下到3月，就只会抱怨今天又要给车除雪了，今年还一度冻了半英寸的冰在整个车身，我也不知道半英寸是多少，那天听广播里说的，反正用热水浇了几十桶，铲了一个来小时才搞定，哦对了，那天是大年三十，铲着冰快饿昏了，年夜饭晚了一个多小时。昨天下了一整晚暴雨，早上起来又发现各种银装素裹，对的，这就是冬天的布鲁明屯。。。眼睁睁的看着长沙从大年三十到现在都20来度的，就更不用说厦门了。。。所以，我以后还是要去南方。
其实是想说说我妈的，前天跟我说妈要给你买靴子，过膝靴，我还寻思着我妈怎么知道我想要over the knee，昨天就买了，今天给我发来了照片，真喜欢阿！
老聂又该不理解了 ，我满柜子的满箱子的衣服鞋子，为啥我妈还成天老想着给我买新鞋子新衣裳，我说养男孩子和女孩子完全不一样啊！我以后要有个女娃儿，肯定也成天想着打扮得漂漂亮亮的，捧在手心里养，男娃就想越早踢出门愈好。看着照片里我们家的窗帘，那个小白鸽加小花朵，小时候就是看着那个睡午觉的呢，真想念阿！还好马上就要回国了，我爸妈也琢磨着过来，现在想到时候收拾屋子还不得一个月，天啊！当然也会持续有好吃的好一阵子。去年回国我妈生日拍的
blogspot似乎不能改中文字体，所以就先忍忍，以后再慢慢研究。

这两天的
经历了诸多不顺的两天，终于开始决定写些东西。
一群热血沸腾本科生，看他们，是想再找回些激情。当然，最近很迷Argintine Tango, 学了一年多了，荡漾了很久，现在该沉下心来体会了。很喜欢什么都不用想，听着音乐，体会不同leader的不同风格，然后自己也沉浸在很优美的connection中。原来国内也慢慢发展起来了，这里 http://www.vtango.cn/portal.php
夜夜笙歌阿，暑假回国也去参加个milonga，留个自己画的名片，说师承谁谁谁，然后很骄傲的回美国，真满足虚荣心。
昨天咖啡喝太多，半夜睡不着，居然在想实验，原来我也是需要毕业的。
申耘某天问我现在用哪个Blog，才想着我也有博客这种东西，本科的时候很积极的记录生活，可是现在那个地址不能用了，不过还好那个上面都是不开心的东西，哪天人家想着把那个整修一下，说不定我又能回顾一下。好在开心的都在脑子里，而且更开心的是那时候的开心一直延用到现在。
听说国内油价都十几块了，我妈说她骑摩托车的时候才3块多，大概是5年前。
美国人价值观道德观很奇怪，一直说中国是礼仪之邦，其实就是要圆滑一些， 经过三年多，我觉得我处于两者中间了。所以我能理解美国人打电话报警说隔壁邻居喂小孩喝酒打小孩屁屁了。
Wordpress实在是太奇怪了，所以决定跟潮流搬到这，慢慢研究。最近发现一些有意思的东西，屯子里也有很有意思Media production,不过就是我以前没有关注过，这里http://bluelinestyle.com/。
